"We know you exist however you leaveth little trace of your presence on our blogeth."   Feather and Stone.  (We love when people quote themselves, so we thought we'd have a go)

We strive to improve our content however you keep silent.  We stormeth the brain here at Feather and Stone as an endeavour to inspire our readers to comment on our blog and liketh our Facebook fan page.  Many ideas have come to mind however we feel the best way to go about this is....... Bribery.

We intend to bribe (give away) a free engagement session to any couple that sends us the most creative concept for an engagement shoot.  Feather and Stone will pick the top three concepts and blog them for all to see.  Then it's upto the readers to vote for their favourite. You must vote by becoming a fan of our Facebook Page and leaving a comment on our official blog with your name and the couple you wish to vote for.

The winning couple will get to spend 2+ hours shooting time with Feather and Stone, and will receive 30 fully edited High Resolution photos on DVD (for you to share and print to your heart's content) and an online slideshow.  This prize is worth $550, so don't miss out!!

Second please send an email to info@featherandstone.com.au with a snapshot, some information about yourselves and a description of your concept.  Descriptions should be no more than 250 words, however feel free to accompany this with photos, storyboards etc. We are looking for concepts that involve creative themes and locations personalised to you as a couple, something that represents who YOU are.

This cute couple have travelled the world together, but ask them what one of their favourite pastimes is and you may hear the following...

drinking a glass of their favourite wine on their apartment balcony with Brisbane City views...

having a meal at their favourite BYO cafe Sprout; or

riding their very cool vintage bikes....

We enjoyed the Briony and Brandon experience and we hope you do too! More excitingly we await their wedding at Sirromet in a few weeks, so watch this space!

You'd think we'd stepped into a french movie scene from the 1950's, a little cafe hidden in the romantic Loire Valley, nestled amongst rolling green hills dotted with hundreds of Châteaux, and the most glamorous couple to date.  Meet Rebecca and Michael and their gorgeous kiddly-winks. We spent the first half of our shoot in the Brisbane Botanical Gardens with the entire family and ended the afternoon a world away at the most charming Cafe Bouquiniste in New Farm. We want to say a big thank you to Meredith from Cafe Bouquiniste for sharing a touch of France with us and to Rebecca and Michael for putting so much effort into their outfits, it made all the difference.

Look up the words imaginative, creative or inventive in the dictionary and you should find photos of Stephanie + Joseph. Look up the word Tom foolery and you should find a picture of a guy named Tom, our dictionary doesn't have his picture in it but we know he exists. Enough about Tom already! We met Stephanie and Joseph on an organic hobby farm that they are currently (DIY) transforming into the wedding venue of wedding venues. We are beyond impressed with their plans and can't wait for their big day! In the meantime, feast your eyes on their organic engagement pics.

You may remember our trip to Melbourne late last year, when we flew down and did a family shoot at the Museum. Whilst we were in Melbourne we stayed with our dear friends Grant + Britt, true gems, these types of friends - more like family, just don't come along often enough. We usually part ways with washboard abs on account of the ridiculous amount of laughing we do together. To top it off Britt is an amazing and talented photographer and we were fortunate enough to have her snap piccies of us (we now understand how hard it is being on the other side of the camera!!).  It's a brilliant experience being able to bring out people's personalities in photos, but it's especially amazing when it's ones you know and love. So enjoy a snippet of this phenomenal couple, our dear friends Grant + Britt, we love you guys!

Our shoot started at the break of dawn with us racing against the sun. We rattled around Bris Vegas in the back alleyways of the valley and New Farm, stumbling upon some very cool graffiti. It didn't take long for Ethan and Kaity to loosen up and before you could say......Snuffleupagus..... they busted out their best moves and took us to Planet Funk. Ethan and Kaity definitely brought the goods on the day and as for the photos.....we'll let them speak for themselves.... What's that Mr. Photo? Want me to shut up so you can speak? Speak photo speak!!! Click here to see their slideshow!!!
