The origins of Team McGaw go wayyyyy back – back to that evening in a Brisbane music venue, when Alyda spotted me from across the room.. this long-haired drummer in a band she fell hopelessly in love/lust with..  Our connection was undeniable & we quickly became excellent friends..

After telling everyone, “No no no, we’re just friends..” and getting laughed at by ALL our friends, one morning I (Todd) said to Alyda, “So ummm, I guess we’re like together together right?”, to which Alyda responds “yeah I guess we are aren’t we..”  We then announced officially that we were together together & all our friends said “ummm duh! we’ve known that for ages!”…  Totes romantic we know & since then Team McGaw have been pretty much inseparable..  We started a wedding photography business, travelled around the world together, had lots of excellent adventures, & have since made an excellent baby person called Maggie, and photographed 400 ish wedding together..

We also got married in a wedding chapel in Vegas! (wooooo!! VEGAS BABY!)  A bunch of our friends were there, Elvis was there – we wrote our own vows and cried our eyes out.. It was pretty awesome..

ps… I love riding bicycles, collecting vinyl, and swimming in the ocean… Alyda has a massive Opp Shopping (Thrifting) obsession..  #20dollarsinmypocket  

Our Couples >>

When we look at all the couples we have worked with, there’s a lot of common ground we share with them about life & things:

We have adventurous hearts, we work hard, we play hard, we love hard, we hug hard, we love music, we can laugh at ourselves, and we love love love a good party!

Let’s talk about weddings >>

If you’ve never planned a wedding before, yep, it’s a pretty huge task & the process can absolutely consume you.. But here’s the thing.. Where & when you get married, how you style your wedding, the food, the music – all that stuff is important for sure, but the most important thing (in our opinion), is that you focus on expressing the connection you have as a couple – and inject everything you love about life into your event…

Really celebrate your relationship, and celebrate hard with your bestest friends and family.. Life is all about relationships, & love is a big deal.. Plan your wedding according to who you are and what matters to you in life most.. We once photographed a wedding in the Bride’s Grandparents’ backyard – under the very magnolia tree that said Grandparents planted on the day their Granddaughter (the bride), was born… I KNOW!!!

And so whether you want to get hitched on a remote island somewhere, or surrounded by the Remarkable mountains of New Zealand, or at dawn in the sand dunes of a remote part of the Northern Territory, or in outback Australia, or on your parents’ farm, or on a boat cruising around Sydney Harbour, or at your favourite restaurant, or an excellent venue in the heart of your beloved home town… We don’t mind where you do it – get married in your Kitchen! – just make sure that for where & how you get married, just have a good reason for doing it that way, and we’ll be there!
