It
is a good idea to discuss with your photographer what types of shots you
would like and where (closest to the venue) can you achieve these shots.
Don’t forget to discuss a wet weather photography plan.
Here
are some photography ideas :
·
On the waterfront balcony with the sun setting in the background
·
On the balcony on the timber chair
·
On the path overlooking the
Trawler pontoon (great black & white)
·
The lawn and garden opposite the venue or at Pelican Park
(3-4mins drive) there is a beautiful ocean shot
and lots of
gardens to create a couple of different looks
·
Group photo on the stairs
·
Mock cutting the cake near the folding glass doors with boats in
the background
·
Shooting back from the outside balcony to the cake cutting
and
bridal table in the background
·
Ceremony on the deck with the boats and ocean as the backdrop
·
Signing the register with a touch of mango wall and blue sky above
– just perfect
(also a nice shot for thank you cards)
·
Redcliffe Jetty (can be windy)
·
Settlement Cove gardens (can be windy)
·
Newport beachfront & parks
Scarborough Beach, Queens beach, Jamison's Park, Newport
(Endeavour Park /
Oyster Parade)
are ideal for bridal photos (quick access, less
populated, short walk to the water)
Please note: Unfortunately we
cannot give you access to the trawler pontoon as this is
Port Authority property and no public access is
permitted.
On
the way to Sunset Blue
·
Sandgate jetty, Baptist church & parklands overlooking
the jetty
Pelican Park at Clontarf (can be windy)
North Lakes
The
average allowance for wedding photography is 45mins – 1 ½ hours
Don’t forget your umbrella!
Don’t
forget to throw in the trusty golf umbrella to help with unpredictable
weather.
Even if it is sunny the gold umbrella comes in handy during your
afternoon photography to keep the heat off your make up.
Don’t use a beach umbrella, particularly if it is new, as the dye on the
umbrella
may run, this can be disastrous with a white dress.
If you are using friends cars, don't forget to pack
a mobile phone!
Professional
car hire firms will have a car phone or mobile. If you are using friends
cars
make sure someone has a mobile phone with them so they can phone
ahead in case there
is a problem on the road. This is important especially
for your ceremony as most
celebrants / churches cannot wait for more than
15 mins to 1/2 hr as your late arrival
may effect another wedding
ceremony. All sorts of problems can be solved if the
professional in
the industry are given notice to help you!
