{paul & cassie} ~ wedding ~ brisbane

I don’t know where to begin when it comes to this one. Paul & Cassie planned their wedding for months and months and made it a very, very personal affair, but something tells me Cassie has been planning this wedding her whole life. Not only did they both collect things and details for a very long time, it felt like everything was there for a reason. It was a mix of DIY and great finds from around the world and yet it all fit together perfectly.

They collected mason jars, leaves, branches and pinecones for well over a year. I have never seen anything like the wedding tree, but I loved it straight away. Just brilliant. The ceremony and reception were held at Metro Arts in Brisbane and the venue was amazing.

Paul and Cassie, thanks for letting me be a part of your day.

You rock.

Your photos never disappoint me. And they never will. Keep on!

July 18, 2009 - 10:03 pm

Elly - När jag ser detta tänker jag att det kanske inte behöver vara så dumt att gifta sig ändå.
Men det kanske inte bara är tack vare dina (som vanligt) fina bilder. det verkar ha varit ett helt fantastiskt bröllop i min smak.

July 18, 2009 - 10:34 pm

David Redding - One thing I love about your work Jonas is at first glance you style shares a lot of things common with some of the popular photographer these days, but when you look closer, at the framing, moments captured and even the processing your own personal style comes scream through. There is a great mix of popular techniques and raw PJ photographer only seen in the pages of Magnum.

Great stuff dude! Really enjoying what you’re offering!

July 18, 2009 - 10:48 pm

Åsa - They rock, but so do you! Excellent!

Thanks to a wonderful couple :).

July 19, 2009 - 1:30 am

Cecilia - Ooooh, such nice details! I especially like the wedding tree. Cool people and cool photos, you’re a very good portrayer.

July 19, 2009 - 1:31 am

ken kienow - alright dude, you’re about to go from “really good” to “blows my mind”. there aren’t many photographers in the “blows my mind” crowd.

July 19, 2009 - 1:43 am

jesse chamberlin - total awesomeness!

July 19, 2009 - 2:27 am

Just LOVE it! Thank you

Definitely will tweet about this. Do you have any details about the wedding itself? Would love to do a real wedding feature on my blog about your photos!!

August 5, 2009 - 2:46 am

Emmy Häggkvist - hej, min pappas fru mailade dig och undrade om jag fick ställa några frågor om brisbane, jag ska nämligen studera grafisk design, multimedia & advertising där i ett år. :) Jag skickar några frågor till dig i ett mail lite senare så får vi se om du har svar på det jag undrar över. Jag är förövrigt förälskad i dina bilder. Du har en förmåga att fånga en känsla, som inte många som kallar sig fotografer har. MVH / Emmy

Joel Del Castillo - Brilliant, Jonas… just brilliant :)

August 19, 2009 - 3:16 am

Brandi - What a wonderful example of what weddings should represent.. the couple and their individuality (not what is mainstream and now). You can see that here. You presented it beautifully. You can tell they ROCK. The tree is unusual and awesome. Would love to see that more often. Thanks for the fresh look.
