Bundaberg wedding riverside retreat

Katrina and Matty’s Bundaberg wedding at Riverside Retreat was elegant, rustic and so much fun.
Started off with a little tension with Cyclone Debbie hovering around, bringing a lot of rain and headache to many.

After a big clean up at the Riverside Retreat, the venue was ready and looking beautiful for Katrina and Matty’s big day.

They chose to get married on a very special day! Fifty something years ago, on the same date, Katrina’s grandparents have tied the knot. Katrina and Matty shared a special bottle of wine with their grandparents as well as the cutting of the cake. Such a lovely way to celebrate this happy enduring union!

Congratulations Katrina and Matty! May your journey as husband and wife be just as happy and long lasting just like your grandparents.

When a very annoying mozzie is disrupting your ceremony, there is only one thing to do. Thank goodness for Matty’s quick defence move, priceless candid moment!

Katrina’s bridesmaids wore a gorgeous golden sequin dress, a touch of elegance in this Bundaberg rustic country wedding.

Heartfelt speeches, my favourite part of the formalities.

Boys will be boys!! Blame it on the Eagle Rock song.

We couldn’t be any happier with our choice to have Adriana capture our family’s photographs!! On the day, Adriana met us at the most beautiful location & made all of us feel completely comfortable which was evident in our images. Completely natural & candid , we will definitely treasure our precious photographs forever & cannot recommend Adriana highly enough.

I cannot express how much of a joy it has been to work with Adriana, from our first meeting up until our wedding day, she has been nothing but helpful and understanding through the whole process. She is the type of photographer that makes something as intimidating as a photo shoot into a fun yet intimate experience, and time just flies when she's around! She even gives you sneak peaks before she blows you away with the final results! The moments she is able to capture is something to be admired. Her work is absolutely flawless, we just couldn't be happier with the results. The only sad thing is not getting to speak with her on a regular basis now our wedding is over - although we know if there is ever the occasion in the future, who we will be contacting to capture more precious moments in our lives. Thank you so much again for everything Adriana!

If you're looking for an incredible photographer with heart, look no further than Adriana Watson! Adriana has been absolutely amazing to work with from start to finish! We met Adriana in person and immediately knew she was the right person to capture our engagement and wedding photos. She has been so helpful along the way, with quick communication and great suggestions and advice. Our photos have come back quicker than expected which was a pleasant surprise! We are absolutely in love with our images and the way she's immortalised our special occasions, our photos are natural (not forced) and show the true essence of "us" and as a couple. She definitely made us feel so comfortable and relaxed! You won't be disappointed if you choose Adriana :) Erin & Wes Linn

In a sea of photographers, Adriana really stood out. Her art, professionalism and beautiful personality could not be beat. Adriana took the time to get to know us on a personal level before coming to our wedding and taking pictures. She made us feel comfortable and at ease. She wanted to capture the essence that is us and not just take pictures. For that we are forever grateful. Adriana was able to capture wonderful moments without being intrusive and provided us with tangible memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you so, so much Adriana, we could not have had a better photographer!

Adriana is a great Sunshine Coast Wedding Photographer. My husband and I are so happy to find her for our wedding photos. She helped us feel relaxed during the photo shoots on our wedding day. We shared the photos with our families and friends, they are amazed with the quality of the photos. Highly recommended!

We live in Melbourne and were planning on getting married at Maroochydore so we needed to find a Sunshine Coast wedding photographer. After looking at the work of several photographers on line we decided that Adriana Watson's work was the best for the type of wedding we planned- casual, friendly, full of fun for family and friends, and a lasting memento that would make us look good! We both hate having our picture taken and didn't want posed photos- Adriana was brilliant- getting natural smiles and laughs and catching lots of beautiful family moments. All of our wedding suppliers knew Adriana and commented on how lucky we were to have her photograph our wedding- we couldn't agree more. Jeni and Kerry

As part of the Rainbowloveau idea, Adriana photographed my wife, our son and I shortly before having our second child. She was incredibly friendly and has an amazing talent and ability to put people at ease when photographing them. The shots she got were phenomenal.. I would strongly recommend her as a photographer to anyone looking for photos on the sunshine coast.Thank you so much Adriana for taking the time to photo our family.

When I was looking for a photographer for my wedding in the Sunshine Coast, at Weddings at Tiffanys in Maleny, it was really important for me to find someone who could capture all of the moments that would evidently go by so quickly on the day so that when i could look back i would relive the day over again! Adriana achieved exactly that. She is such an incredible photographer and my Husband and I are beyond happy with our photos. Adriana is so lovely and she will make you feel at ease and comfortable as well. We couldn't have chosen anyone better :)

Adriana is just amazing! We loved the experience, we were a little anxious first, as we thought it could be a disaster having the family photos done with our crazy three kids. But Adriana made us feel so comfortable and capture all the very spontaneous moments, so we can treasure forever. Thank you Adriana x

Adriana photographed my daughters most precious day so far.. her Graduation. She took time to make sure my daughter was comfortable, happy and relaxed and she took her on a photo shoot at two locations. The photos are amazing. I love them so much and highly recommend Adriana for your special occasion. She is lovely.
