The Pines Campground Martinsville Elopement Wedding

June 8, 2021 by Jaypee Abraham

We love weekday weddings, it gets us out of the office and away from the computer for the day which is a bit of a treat for us when we edit images all day every day (except on the weekends when we shoot!). Doubly excited for Sasha and Andy’s wedding because the location of the wedding was The Pines Campground Martinsville, a place we had never shot. In fact, The Pines Campground Martinsville was a place that we had never even heard of!

So we set out and drove north from Avoca Beach for The Pines Campground Martinsville and Google Maps was not our friend that day. As we got closer to The Pines Campground Martinsville, it felt like we were get farther away and this little gem of a location was not so easy to find. To add fuel to the fire, the petrol gauge was seriously low and we panicked and made the executive decision to back track away from The Pines Campground Martinsville 20 minutes to the servo. As it turned out, we were actually only 50 metres down the road from The Pines Campground Martinsville and because we are (well try to be) super organised, we made it to The Pines Campground Martinsville right in the knick of time.

It was our first time meeting Sasha and Andy at their elopement at The Pines Campground Martinsville and like so many couples Covid had disrupted their plans. With Andy’s parents and family living in the UK, it was impossible to have the family reunited and the travel-loving couple decided an elopement at The Pines Campground Martinsville was the way to go. It was an overcast day, which really worked in our favour, as it gave us nice even light and we did not need to worry about harsh, speckled lighting a bright day would have brought us. A beautiful and intimate ceremony with 6 of their dearest was enjoyed, followed by a quick stroll through the pines and a delicious smorgasbord with flowing wine and sparkling. Sasha and Andy’s love for dancing shone and although there was no dance floor, DJ or band, the small group danced in the afternoon light with not a care in the world!

Thank you Sasha and Andy for letting us capture your beautiful elopement and thanks for introducing us to this location, might need to bring the family up for a little shoot ourselves!

Family portrait photographer, Central Coast NSW

June 4, 2021 by Jaypee Abraham

Another gorgeous family portrait session on the Central Coast NSW. How incredibly lucky are we to have this gem on the Central Coast NSW literally down the road from us – a family portrait photographer dream.

We had a lot of fun on this shoot on the Central Coast NSW and so glad this family of five decided to drive up to the Central Coast NSW from Sydney for the afternoon for their family portrait session on the Central Coast NSW, just a stone throw away compared to America, where these guys are originally from. We started at Putty Beach, for this family portrait session on the Central Coast NSW, where we were spoilt with some ocean mist, plus we pretty much had the beach all to ourselves before jumping into the car to drive up to Bouddi National Park Central Coast NSW – our fav spot just at the start of the Box Head walking trail. We absolutely love this spot for family portraits on the Central Coast NSW with the ocean views right out to Palm Beach. Too many gorgeous images to show case and I wish could have posted them all, however here are a few of our favourites on the Central Coast NSW.

Now is the perfect time to book in your family portrait photography with us on the Central Coast NSW. We love shooting in Winter, for a number of reasons. Firstly, as Central Coast wedding photographers, pretty much every weekend is dedicated to wedding photography, however during Winter, we have a lot more available weekends to shoot family portraits on the Central Coast NSW. Secondly, the beaches and parks tend to be less busy so we don’t need to worry about people in the background – you pretty much have the beach to yourself, perfect for a family portrait session on the Central Coast NSW! Bonus – A LOT less mozzies to deal with too! Thirdly, without day light savings, family portrait sessions on the Central Coast NSW tend to start a little earlier compared to during the Summer. This is great news for parents with little ones so the kids aren’t getting as tired, hungry and cranky. Lastly, there is just something about that Winter golden glow for family portrait sessions on the Central Coast NSW. The light is softer for longer giving that warm soft touch to images that aren’t harsh with strong shadows and overly bright highlights.

With the Winter break just around the corner, it’s a great time to book your family portrait session on the Central Coast NSW. Contact us for packages.

Maccoa The Clan Terrigal Wedding Photographer – Wedding of Ari and Luke

May 18, 2021 by Jaypee Abraham

Terrigal is absolutely breathtaking this time of the year, add the scenery of Terrigal beach with the quaint cottage-like look and feel of Maccoa The Clan in Terrigal, and you get the perfect backdrop for us wedding photographers, an undisclosed wedding not too far from the big smoke of Sydney and at one of Central Coasts best known holiday destinations. The wedding of Ari and Luke at Maccoa The Clan Terrigal did not disappoint that’s for sure. Ari and Luke first contacted us many moons back before the world was in lockdown ‘ah yes the dreaded C word’, a year passed and we were thrilled to finally photograph their fun-filled wedding as restrictions eased and the dance floor opened up!

The wedding day started with us meeting the nervous groom at one of the rooms at Maccoa The Clan Terrigal, rehearsing his perfectly written speech on his laptop while his groomsmen approached. Such a fun witty bunch, big into their gaming and Dungeons and Dragons, always a treat as we could relate! Ari got ready not too far away at a private spot still part of Maccoa The Clan in Terrigal. Just like the boys, Ari’s entourage was ready to roll out and ready to party, much to celebrate about before they finally walked down the aisle with Terrigal Beach as their backdrop, just behind Maccoa The Clan.

After a beautiful, ‘laughter filled’ wedding ceremony, we quickly went away from Maccoa The Clan Terrigal and headed straight to the Skillion at Terrigal Haven, going over the rocks and boulders. The afternoon sun shining at Terrigal along with a perfect 24 degrees golden hour sunset light, provided just the perfect atmosphere for their wedding bridal pictorial photos. Along with their fun personalities, we were able to get a mix of serious and character filled wedding photos we know and love.

After spending some time around Terrigal Haven and the Skillion rocks, we headed back towards Maccoa The Clan Terrigal where their family and friends were eagerly awaiting for their formal introduction as husband and wife to kick off the night of speeches and dancing. Thanks to the great work of Everlong Weddings who styled the room and of course Maccoa The Clan Terrigal for providing not just an amazing location but exceptional service, Ari and Luke’s wedding reception was just perfect. After a few speeches and many beers and wines later, they had their first dance as husband and wife. But the party was just beginning and everyone enjoyed the night dancing away at Maccoa The Clan Terrigal.

Thank you for having the Coast Wedding Photography team capture your very special day. We wish you both all the best in this life!

Yarramalong Wedding Photographer – Tara and Sean

May 5, 2021 by Jaypee Abraham

Another gorgeous Central Coast Wedding, this time a Yarramalong Central Coast Wedding, the wedding of Tara and Sean. The day started off with the boys for this Yarramalong Central Coast Wedding, and we knew right away that we were going to be in for a fun Yarramalong Central Coast Wedding. You could tell these boys had been lifelong friends with their shenanigans and banter so we were just as excited for the day ahead. We then made our way over to the girls and it just started to rain too, but you would never know because Tara and her bridesmaids and family, were just so happy that this Yarramalong Central Coast Wedding day was here and they all knew, rain, hail or shine that this Yarramalong Central Coast Wedding was going to be epic! There was no plan B and the ceremony started off with rain and umbrellas but by the time the couple exchanged vows the rain had cleared up and for the rest of the day we had soft, calm light – a Yarramalong Central Coast Wedding Photographers dream. With so many hidden gems around this Yarramalong Central Coast Wedding property, we didn’t need to venture far and after a wander, the bridal party were eager to get back to the reception to celebrate this Yarramalong Central Coast Wedding. Just as we suspected this party did not disappoint! Everyone, including Nan, was up for a fun night with everyone on their feet dancing for the entire night! The crowd paused for speeches but then were right back into it – there would have been quite a few sore heads the next morning but definitely well worth it!

Dalwood Estate Hunter Valley Wedding – Wedding of Katie + Nathan

April 28, 2021 by Jaypee Abraham

It was so wonderful to be a part of this high-school sweetheart’s wedding at Dalwood Estate Hunter Valley wedding. We started off the day in Katie and Nathan’s Newcastle NSW neighborhood before heading over to Dalwood Estate Hunter Valley wedding reception. Katie and Nathan exchanged vows among family and friends in a church ceremony shortly before making our way over to Dalwood Estate Hunter Valley wedding. Before reaching Dalwood Estate Hunter Valley wedding, however, with the stunning weather, we made a few stops along the way for bridal party photos including Hickson Street lookout and the beautiful vineyards at Dalwood Estate Hunter Valley wedding. Time flies when you’re having a ball and it wasn’t long before we all made our way back to Dalwood Estate Hunter Valley wedding where the wedding party kicked off and Katie and Nathan celebrated the night away with their loved ones.

Central Coast NSW Family Photographer

March 11, 2021 by Jaypee Abraham

Looking back over the past couple of years, we have been so fortunate to shoot so many amazing families on the Central Coast NSW. Even during a world pandemic, we spent some bright sunny afternoons with happy, loving families on the Central Coast NSW, which really did solidify the fact that family really is the most important thing in the world. Here are a few snippets of some of the beautiful families we have shot on the Central Coast NSW. Coming into the cooler months, the weddings tend to ease off a little and its just the perfect time for a family portrait session. The light is softer, social outings and commitments tend to calm down and families are spending more time with one another and have more time to relax on a weekend afternoon for a family portrait session on the Central Coast NSW. Spaces are filling up quickly though, so if a family portrait session on the Central Coast NSW has been something you have been thinking about, drop us an email and lets book a family portrait session on the Central Coast NSW in! As we have all experienced, a lot can happen in a year so don’t delay it any further – precious memories captured in time are always moments that you can look back on and appreciate.

February 10, 2021 by Jaypee Abraham

Ah Bouddi National Park and Putty Beach – probably our favourite Central Coast location to shoot at.

Norah Head Photography – Engagement shoot Lindsay & Mitch

January 19, 2021 by Jaypee Abraham

This shoot, although was done last year, was just too good not to share! This was actually the second engagement shoot we did for these guys at Norah Head. Not because the first shoot wasn’t amazing, because it was, but it was super late start last time due to Lindsay’s hair and makeup so we didn’t have a lot of light left, plus it rained half way through the shoot! So when the team got together and decided they wanted to do some photography workshops to gear up for a busy 2021, Lindsay and Mitch were the first couple to spring to mind. On the contrary, we had amazing sunshine at Norah Head plus Norah Head isn’t somewhere we have shot very often so it was a great afternoon of creativity and fun at Norah Head. We will be blogging their beautiful Caves Beach wedding in the coming weeks too. Enjoy this Norah Head Photography!
