Natalie & Chris’s wedding at Chateau Elan & Wandin Valley – Hunter Valley

It’s been a while since we were in the Hunter for a wedding – I think even over 2 years – although I have been there for pleasure since then :-)

Natalie & Chris’s wedding was particularly beautiful – you can’t go wrong with a mix of Mira Mandic, Kilts, Slide McBride and clear blue skies.  It was a first to shoot at Wandin Valley and after the night had ended (for us) I realised what a perfect venue this was for Natalie & Chris.

There was a great energy all day and I think we captured it pretty well.  You could feel the love and friendship in the atmosphere, and with everyone laughing and joking all night it was hard not to feel a part of it all.

It was a 32 degree day but not one complaint from stunning Natalie and handsome Chris who must have been very hot – they were just having a ball.

It’s December and wow what a year it’s been – a couple more weddings for you before Christmas coming up and then I look forward to doing a ‘faves of 2013’ post in the new year.

It has to be my favourite wedding mag :-)

For the brides that like to know – Jasmine’s gown was from Essence of Australia, makeup by the ever lovely Megan Vaughan who recommended another favourite for Jasmine’s hair do Melissa Cauchi Hairdressing.

Kylie & Jayson’s wedding at Dockside & Botanical Gardens

Kylie & Jayson’s wedding was back in April of this year.  Kylie and Jayson had seen me work at several of their friends weddings and I was so delighted they chose me to cover their day.  I got to see a bunch of wonderful clients who I’ve already worked for and felt right at home with all the familiar faces.  Kylie & Jayson’s celebrant was Pauline Fawkner who I seem to run into all the time!

We stayed for the first hour of reception and then headed home so this post finishes with their cake cutting – and believe it or not Kylie made the cake !? Amazing – super talented lady.

Kylie & Jayson are expecting their ‘honeymoon’ baby early next year and I wish them all the best !
