Success Fail

Sorry if you've just been to the website and found nothing but an error message. The new website has become so successful that it has fallen over due to "excessive bandwidth"!

Yes, today the site is down - I have upgraded my hosting allowance so with luck it will be up again by the weekend. I hope so - we have a bridal expo on Sunday at the Lord Forrest Hotel in Bunbury. Come on down if you're nearby.

While the site is down you can still view our video clips here

Cheers,

Mark

Timothy & Kelly's Wedding

One of the best things about non linear editing: you don't have to start at the beginning.

I know Kelly is very keen to see her wedding so I thought I would start by putting together their first dance so I had a quick sequence to upload.

The venue is Xanadu Wines, Margaret River.




New Website Live

Hi folks, I hope you all had a safe and happy Christmas and are looking forward to a better year in 2013. 2012 was a pretty good year for us but for quite a few people we know it was a year they'd rather forget.
Anyway, Supernova's new website is now up and running, thanks to the talented Anthony at Rethink Marketing
It will be tweaked a bit here and there in the coming months as I learn how to edit it, but for now have a look and let me know what you think.  supernova.net.au

Happy New Year! Mark & Kerry

New Wedding Compilation

I'm very excited because our new website is almost ready to go live. This blog will cease to be updated at that time, as the new site will incorporate all the content from here. This week I have been busy editing a highlights compilation of weddings to feature on our new home page, so until the new site goes up, have a look...

Apology

Hi Everyone,

It seems the website, exposure room.com that I use to host my clips has disappeared, without any warning or explanation, taking with it all my videos!

All my clips have gone so I will be burning the midnight oil uploading and relinking them. I am also in the process of revamping the whole website.

So I am sorry to all of you who have visited lately and have thought "Why can't I see any videos?"
The fault is not at your end!

Please check back in a few days as the clips (I hope) will start to appear again.

Cheers,

Mark

Chris & Rhonda-Sue

December 10, 2011

A morning wedding for a change, with a 9am ceremony at Alverstoke Farm near Brunswick followed by a lunch reception at the Lighthouse Beach Resort.

Chris spent months making the feature doorway that Rhonda-Sue entered through, and which Chris carried her "over the threshold" at the conclusion of the ceremony.

Befitting the country atmosphere, Chris & Rhonda chose a country style song to accompany their highlights clip.

Cameron & Rachel

Married November 19, 2011

Hard working young couple Cameron & Rachel had a traditional church wedding in Australind followed by a waterfront reception at the Bunbury Power Boat Club. I was honoured to be asked to film another wedding for Cam's family. His sister Kelly-Maree was married in March, 2009.

Steven & Sharon


Married November 10, 2011 at Laurance Wines, Wilyabrup.


An intimate wedding with most guests from afar, as both Steven and Sharon hail from Liverpool.


The Rose Garden was the perfect setting for the ceremony. Sharon's long walk up the "aisle" allowed time for Steven to shed a tear or two before getting it together.


Celebrant Maureen Nicholson conducted a beautiful ceremony, then after some family photos nearby the bridal party headed next door to the private grounds of Laurance for photographs with Stephen & Ros from Blakeney Photography.


While at Injidup Beach, a whale and her two calves were seen waving back at us.


Steven & Sharon are a great fun loving couple and I wish them a long and happy life together.

Daniel & Debbie

Married June 11, 2011.
Not many weddings happen in June & July with our southern winters, but it's a pity more couples don't consider it. It is quite cool but unless it is raining, which isn't all that often these days, the conditions are sometimes more favourable than summer. No harsh contrast, no hot sun and easterly wind, no flies! The skies are more dramatic and "magic hour" for photos is not halfway through your reception.

Daniel & Debbie just seemed so at ease and comfortable together and the gentle way they kissed was captured beautifully during the ceremony.

My first wedding at Cypress of Margaret River and I hope it won't be the last. Great venue close to town.

We went to a nearby beach for some photos and then to the dramatic karri forest at Boranup before enjoying the classy reception at Watershed Premium Wines.

Edward & Carly

Edward & Carly
Married April 24, 2011

Wise Winery, Dunsborough.

It was raining when the guests arrived, that annoying drizzle that tricks you into getting wet before you know it. Luckily it stopped before Carly arrived and stayed away, leaving some nice dramatic clouds for photos later. The sun came out right as they were introduced as Mr & Mrs Cross!

What a lovely couple! One of the most fun weddings we've done thanks in no small part to Ed's M.C.
Chris and Best Man, James for keeping everyone entertained at the reception,and of course the fantastic staff at Wise.

Best wishes Ed & Carly for your future arrival. You'll make wonderful parents.

Robert & Kylie

Married April 21, 2011

Ceremony at Laurance of Margaret River
Reception at Duckstein Brewery.

While a 4:15 ceremony is perfect in summer, in late autumn we knew there wouldn't be long for photos before we lost light. It made for some interesting images once it got dark.

The couple were very easy going and it was a pleasure sharing their wedding day.

James & Leilani

March 26, 2011
Ceremony & Reception: Abbey Beach Resort, Busselton

Ben & Sarah

Married March 25, 2011 at Wise Winery, Dunsborough

I don't think I've ever seen a groom smile as big and as often as Ben. He really was as happy as anyone could be, and why wouldn't he be? Sarah was a sight to behold. Beautiful down to the very last detail.

Their mood on the day was infectious - everyone was smiling. During the speeches, the staff at Wise were engaged as much as the guests, and when Sarah and Ben did their first dance I noticed even the kitchen crew were peeking around the doorway!

Joe & Fleur

Married March 5, 2011

A really lovely couple, Joe and Fleur had their ceremony in Harvey's Our Lady of Immigrants Church with a Nuptial Mass conducted by Fr Bernard.

After a quick detour to Harvey Dam for some family photos, it was off to Bunbury for formal shots at the art gallery and old post office.

Their reception was held at the SW Italian Club.

Kristjan & Philippa

Married February 26, 2011

The plan was to have the ceremony on the beautiful little beach at Castle Rock but when we got there there were waves rolling in and hardly any sand left! Very unusual conditions for this protected spot, so we hastily set up under the trees just in time as the guests arrived all at once on a bus.

Pippa looked fantastic and never stopped smiling despite the intensely hot day.

Their reception was at The Goose next to the Busselton Jetty with very entertaining "Oscars" style speeches by compares Talia & Ben. Great fun.

Mark & Kirsty

Married November 13, 2010

Dardanup's Church of the Immaculate Conception was filled to capacity as we all waited for Kirsty. She arrived in great style in a classic FJ Holden driven by proud father, Mike. After the ceremony the church and surrounds were taken advantage of for some photos, along with the school playground next door, and then to the riverbank behind Kirsty's family home for some shots among the paperbark trees.

Reception was at the Sanctuary Golf Resort and the marquee looked fantastic. I love working here - so close to home and the staff are great.

Luke & Tamika

Married February 12, 2011

A country wedding with the works...there were many firsts for me with this one.
It was the first time we'd "camped out" at a wedding. On Friday afternoon we took the camper trailer to Harvey Dickson's Country Music Centre in the town of Boyup Brook where the wedding was to take place the next day.

In the morning we drove 60km to Manjimup where everyone was getting ready, then back to Boyup to catch the arrivals. The boys arrived on the back of a ute (another first), the bride arrived on horseback (another), and it was the biggest bridal party I'd ever seen!

Tamika sang her vows (yep, another first for me) and it was Kerry's debut on second camera (I gave her the close-ups and reaction shots - no pressure! No auto focus either, good job Kez!).

Finally, it was the first time I shot a wedding where there were three other camera crews to compete with. This wedding will feature on "Four Weddings", a competition/reality show which will screen later this year on 7 & GWN7.

Good luck Tamika & Luke, we hope you win!

Caleb & Stephanie

January 8, 2011

Last year I did Caleb's sister Felicity's wedding and was disappointed that I was already booked when asked to do Caleb & Steph's wedding, so I asked Greg Kings (Kingway Video) if he could shoot for me.

After a windy ceremony conducted by Caleb's father, Allan and some location photos around Bunbury, a reception was held at the Koombana Bay Sailing Club.

Caleb and Stephanie's sense of fun and humour is apparent in this highlights clip.

Michael & Aimee

January 8, 2011

On a bright summer's day in the rose garden at Laurance Winery overlooking the lake, high school sweethearts Michael and Aimee tied the knot before a large group of family and friends. Photos were taken in the beautiful grounds of the private residence of the winery with Mike & Kylie from Pixel Magix keeping the mood fun and relaxed.

Their reception was held at Watershed Winery where some late afternoon shots were taken just before the sun disappeared.

Michael's dad has shot over 300 weddings and he said in his speech that this was the best he's been to. It was perfect. Congratulations Aimee and Michael!

Daniel & Kirsty

December 29, 2010

With the wedding taking place at a horse stud in the beautiful Margaret River region, Kirsty and her bridesmaids naturally arrived in a horse drawn carriage.

After the ceremony the guests were entertained by live music and served refreshments under the trees while the bridal party had photos taken on the property.

A spectacular reception followed in a magnificently decorated marquee by the lake.

I predict that Daniel's brother Matt will be highly sought after as an M.C. for years to come. He did a brilliant job!
