Tweed Heads Wedding Photographer

The Tweed Coast… where we began, are based and will stay.

Bird and Boy started in 2013 in Tweed Heads and since then has captured over 900 weddings! Take a look at our favourite venues, secret shooting locations and some real weddings to inspire your own special day.

How we started in Tweed Heads…

We first starting capturing weddings back in 2013 after years of being food photographers. It wasn’t until we were married ourselves at Mavis’s Kitchen that we realised how amazing it would be to actually capture weddings.

From that point on we ditched the food idea and started focusing on weddings. We took off quicker than we thought and became a trusted, local Tweed Heads wedding photographers, obsessed with the coastal landscape and unable to believe this was our “job”. We became extremely familiar with venues close to our home such as Summergrove Estate, Osteria, Babalou, Ancora and the Plantation House. Before long, we created a dream team of local vendors who made each wedding easy and unbelievably magical to capture.

Tweed Heads weddings are magical…

Osteria

Osteria is a sweet venue on the Tweed Coast which we have visited MANY times for our couples. The great thing about Osteria is it is so close to the beach and has wet weather options. A lot of our couples like to travel to Cabarita Headland, the hidden forest or the farmy hills for portraits. The venue itself has so many photo opportunities.

Summergrove Estate

Summergrove Estate was one of the first venues where we captured a huge wedding. It is absolutely breathtaking and everything can be done on site. We usually don’t leave during the package as we can capture everything from getting ready to the exit at the venue.

REAL WEDDINGS ON THE TWEED COAST

Answers

to your questions

Yes we live on the Tweed Coast and had started Bird and Boy here in Tweed Heads. We know the area so amazingly well and love being able to capture weddings in our hometown.

We have spent 13 years here on the Tweed Coast and know the area, venues and vendors incredibly well. We actually call our local vendors and venues the “dream team”!

For sure! We shoot a lot at Cabarita Headland, Kingscliff, Casuarina, Hastings Point and Fingal. You can see many of our mini shoots on our insta which feature the coastal backdrop.

We travel everywhere but you mainly find us shooting between Brisbane and Byron Bay.

We can do either! It is up to you how you would like to use your hours. Some venues have lots of portrait locations whereas others we like to travel offsite to find some extra special hidden areas.

We require a booking fee upfront to lock in your special day and the rest is due one month prior. We also provide payment plans if this is an easier setup for you and your budget.
