I LOVE photographing the bride and her girls getting ready before a wedding.. Don’t get me wrong I love photographing the blokes too but let’s face it, the girls are usually the ones who are way more into being photographed than the guys!

 This was the beautiful wedding of Zoe & Dallas and I’d thought I’d do a blog of just the girls this time.. In a couple of days  will also do some more blogs on their wedding photography so you can see more gorgeous photographs I took at their Brisbane wedding.

How beautiful are these two..?

 Rakesh called me one morning wanting to organise a portrait photography sitting to surprise his wife on their actual 15th wedding anniversary! I was gushing at the other end of the phone at how sweet that sounded and couldn’t wait to meet the pair of them!

 We did the shoot down on the lake in the afternoon at Springfield Lakes which wasn’t far from their family home. One of my favourite photographs is the black and white photo down the bottom in the middle. I remember taking this shot and saying to them that they looked like young teenagers in love.. they were giggling and having so much fun together!! So sweet!

Farhana & Rakesh is you are reading this I just wanted to say again that I truly enjoyed meeting and photographing the both of you and I hope we can do it again sometime soon!

 (Side Note- After our photo shoot these two lucky ducks went to Jamie Olivers new restaurant in Brisbane to continue their celebration.. As you can imagine I was in total food envy.. hehe!)

When we schedule your family portrait photography session in your own home it is fantastic for a number of reasons:

1)It is easy for you as you don’t have to drive anywhere

2)It is unique to you as no-one has your home but you

3)Your children are comfortable in their own surroundings which mean we can really bring out their personality in your portrait photography session.

 

Check out these three beautiful ladies I had the pleasure of photographing this month at their home. These are just a couple of the gorgeous family photographs they chose to have done in time for Christmas! I love photographing families!

Call me now to book your photo shoot in the new year while the kids are still on school holidays!! xox

Peta & Ruperts beautiful wedding day was on a gorgeous day in September. The weather was perfect, the setting was gorgeous..

I love photographing women. I just love all the curves and love having a girly time playing dress ups and taking photos!

 The gorgeous Renee wanted to surprise husband to be Steve, with a wedding gift before the wedding so she contacted me to do some boudoir photography for her. I jumped at the chance to do this sexy photo shoot for her!

 We had the gorgeous Amy on hair and make-up and we had the luxurious Gambaro Hotel as our setting.. Oh, and don’t forget the champagne! Yum!

 Check out some of the beautiful photographs Renee gave to Steve the morning of their wedding… As you can imagine; he was VERY happy with his gift! hehe! xox

family photography brisbane, portrait photography brisbaneI just love being a family portrait photographer in Brisbane. I had so much fun photographing the Harris family portraits at the end of last year.  Their 2 girls were just so much fun and they are at the most adorable ages to photograph. I went to their family home in Alexandra Hills and did a beautiful series of photographs on the parents bed! As you can see, everybody had fun! Which is definitely what a family portrait session with me is like.. FUN FUN FUN!!

I love photographing families in their home as the children feel at ease and because of this you get absolutely incredible photos of them in their own environment. I am so lucky to have an amazing job as a portrait photographer as I get to meet beautiful families like this one! xx

Check out 3 year old Quinn and her gorgeous mummy Lyndsay (oh and her little brother is inside mum’s tummy.. hehe!)
I have actually been photographing Lyndsay and her family since she was pregnant with Quinn. They came over to my little home studio today  to visit the chickens and help me collect the eggs!  First thing I noticed was their super cute matching outfits!! Mum lyndsay says, Quinn  is so obsessed at the moment with wearing the same thing as her and will go and change her clothes to look just like her mummy.. Soo adorable!!!
Here are just a few of the cute shots I captured today in their family photography session! xox

I was so lucky to be able to photograph this beautiful mumma and her bump earlier in the year. Aimee’s little angel Ada was only on this earth for a brief moment in time but has certainly blessed their lives. I felt very, very lucky to be able to capture this precious moment in time for Aimee and her family and create a beautiful series of pregnancy photographs for her & her hubby. She wrote me a beautiful review which I will share below:
“Thank you for the beautiful maternity photo’s you took of our family. Not only are the photos so beautiful and natural they captured such a precious moment in time. You are a true professional but your kind & gentle spirit really helped us to feel at ease in front of the lens and let our true personalities shine through. Our baby girl was only with us for a short time so we will always treasure the gorgeous photos from you. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”

Isn’t this just the cutest couple ever?

I was so lucky and honured to be able to photograph my 90 year old Oma’s wedding in Brisbane last month. Imagine that watching your grandmother fall in love and marry! She looked absolutely beautiful and her husband John was also very dashing. He is 93 years old! That just proves that you are never to old to fall in love and have a wedding!
I took these beautiful portraits of my Oma and John on their wedding day using gorgeous and natural window light. I just love them.. Hope you do too! xox

Creating award winning wedding Images for the Professional Photography awards

By | Wedding Photography | No Comments

award winning photography brisbane, appas, sarah streets studios

 

One of the things I love to do when I am feeling creative is to think of things I can do to take my wedding photographs to the next level and enter them into the awards. Sometimes even though you think your image is amazing it still doesn’t quite get up to the very high award standard you aim for.
I entered this shot into this years APPA’s into the wedding category- It scored a 78 which was 2 points short of the magical 80 to win a silver award. My heart sinks everytime I enter images into the awards and they don’y quite get there but I always learn something and I think it really does push me everytime to get better!
Here is the APPA scoring system:

75 – 79 Professional Standard award range
80 – 84 Silver Award range
85 – 89 Silver Distinction award range
90- 94 Gold Award range

95 – 100 Gold Distinction award range

The bottom photograph was the original tree and the top one is my “love heart” tree that was created in photoshop. What do you guys think? Please leave a comment! xox

I got the pleasure of meeting & photographing Gerrit Deraadt & his beautiful wife Charlotte (also known as Okkie) this weekend. Gerrit was a wedding photographer in his day and owned a beautiful studio called vogue photography.
I just love how small the world can be sometimes. Gerrit knew my Opa. My Opa was an artist and graphic designer and he actually made Gerrits wedding photography logo! Gerrit also photographed my mothers wedding and a couple of my aunties wedings! How amazing is that..?
Check out these pictures of Gerrit when he was working as a wedding photographer in Brisbane and also some of his beautiful wedding photography!

Thank you for the rave review Victoria and Kevin. You are such a beautiful couple that I know will be happily married forever. Thank you so much for choosing us as your wedding photographers, Martell and myself had a ball photographing your wedding!
Sarah xoxox
See Victoria’s review below:
“Sarah Streets Studios!!!! No words can describe just how perfectly you have managed to get the full day from start to finish in photos for us to remember our special day. The way you looked after us all, made the parents feel special, even down to getting our fur babies in some wedding photographs just made our day. One of the most important parts for us was to get amazing wedding photos that tell our story. We loved the fact that you got so many great natural photos.. and not just the posing ones. There are so many photos that we look back at now, and did not even know had happened, due to all the things that went on. The photos of the boys and girls getting ready before hand at our house look fantastic. The photos of my dad putting my mum’s necklace on, you have just captured true love. The photo of Kevin and I and his mum’s arms wrapped around me, and of us cutting the cake with the fireworks in the background. You where just everywhere right at the perfect time. We can’t thank you enough. Xoxo”

What a beautiful day it was on the 4th March 2014 for Victoria & Kevin’s Wedding day!

We started our day in Thornlands with the girls getting ready. Victoria’s beautiful wedding dress was from Justin Alexander and her gorgeous fresh flowers from Redlands Fresh Flowers. She had Megan from Rev Headz Hair doing her fabulous up-do!

Then off to the Quay West to photograph the boys! The ceremony was just a short stroll across the road at the Brisbane botanical gardens– this place is such a beautiful setting for wedding photographs in brisbane.

We then headed to the infamous Brisbane Powerhouse for more wedding photos before the reception which was held at the prestigious Moda Events Portside. I just loved the fireworks display while they were cutting their delicious cake from The Cheesecake Shop!

I had so much fun photographing this beautiful couple and their fabulous wedding party! Here are some of my favourite shots from the day! How lucky am I to be a Brisbane wedding photographer!
