Nadine & Santi’s Wedding Video at Mt Tamborine

Nadine & Santi were married Sunday September 25 at Pethers Rainforest Retreat, Mt Tamborine. For me, theirs was one of the most relaxing and enjoyable weddings I have filmed in a while. Having shot a wedding in Brisbane city the day earlier, it was so nice to get away from the noise and traffic of the city and work in the peace and serenity that the Mt Tamborine community provides.

I arrived around midday and began filming groom preparations with Santi. I captured scenes with Santi and his best man as they readied themselves for the ceremony before heading outside for some photography in the gardens. Santi recorded a pre-wedding video message to his bride.

I then headed back to meet Nadine and her bridesmaid as they completed their final preparations at the retreat. Nadine was happy and relaxed and looked radiant. I captured various scenes here of Nadine having her make-up done, the bouquets and jewelry and of course the final adjustments being made whilst in her wedding gown shortly before leaving for the ceremony.

The ceremony was held on the balcony at the retreat. The weather was perfect for this small, intimate gathering of family and friends. For me, a most relaxing ceremony shoot and one in which I could place the camera on the tripod and enjoy with the guests. I captured shots of the crowd and various other scenes with my Canon 60D and so I’m looking forward to editing up the footage from both my cameras. It was a lovely ceremony which ended in smiles and some tears of joy.

After the wedding we all headed to various places in Mt Tamborine for photos. It was a fun photoshoot which ended just on sunset at the Mt Tamborine look-out, just beautiful.

Probably one of the most relaxing wedding videos I have shot in a long time. Special thanks to Nadine and Santi for choosing me to video their wedding and a big thank you also to the staff at Pethers for making me feel welcome.
