Steven Elmer and I went down to the Botanical Gardens in Brisbane this past Sunday to shoot some gorgeous guys and gals. It was a great bit of fun and with all of them done up to the nines by professional hair stylists, make up artists and an event coordinator, it was a breeze to shoot.
Hair Styling, Event & Fashion Coordinator & over-all cool chick, Jasmine McDonald did up all the models. While her sister, Katy Lee McDonald took care of the Make-Up side of things – And what an awesome job she did, too!
The models were rad and deserve a mention, too. The guys consisted of Cameron Buckingham, Ryan Schoenberger & Gareth Johnsen. While the girls consisted of Emily Asher, Letitia Gabrielle Britt & Ally Scott. If you’d like to hire any of these wonderful people, please get in touch with either Jasmine McDonald, Steven Elmer Photography or even Katy Lee McDonald.
Check em’ out,
Shaun & Maxine. You are both way, way too cool for school. I don’t know what stood out more in this Wedding for me; the ‘Snoop Dogg’ playlist and ringtones while Shaun was getting ready.. Or how adorable Maxine’s parents were, organizing even the littlest of details, all the way up to the Ceremony and final “I do”.
I’m sure you’re both keenly aware by now of how lucky you are; but you really pulled a fast one to go from a week of monsoonal rain, to perfect blue skies and no clouds to be seen, the entire day. To say I enjoyed your Wedding as a Photographer or even simply a Guest, would be a massive understatement.
I want more Canadian Wedding’s after shooting this one. So, all you Canadian’s out there, you’ll get a discount if you book with me…. Kidding. Sort of. I hope your honeymoon was a blast and the drive wasn’t too long (Hehe, inside joke.) — Here is your sneak-peak Shaun & Max, enjoy it!
P.s…. Sorry dial-up users. It’s kind of a big one. Broadband users, you may want to give it a second 
I had a play on Steven Elmer’s Nikon D700 today. All I have to say is…. Canon, catch up. Seriously. This camera has the best noise handling, ever. Mixed with 51 focal points – It is an absolute dream to shoot with, especially with a 35mm lens on it wide open!

Winter really does rock my socks – I couldn’t imagine a better time or place to be a Photographer. And when you throw a couple like Shaun & Maxine into the mix; a flippin’ cool couple from Toronto, Canada, it makes my job… Well, pretty hard to beat.
Australia is practically Shaun & Maxine’s second home. Shaun is a Med Student at Nambour Hospital (So if you’re ever in a car accident around here; you’ll be waking up to this guy!) and Maxine is a Teacher in Sarajevo, Bosnia, but holidays here with Shaun.
We’ll be shooting their Wedding in 2 weeks time at M’Dore – And I can’t wait! For now guys, here is your sneak-peak to tie you over until the big, beautiful day. I’m off to make some Poutine (It’s a Canadian thing, eh?). Ps – Sorry about that random dog mauling you, too, Maxine
