Here’s a lovely bright photo for the Sydney-siders reading this on a dark and somewhat dreary day.

I’m just uploading Kate & Richards album for print and this was one of their favourites for the album – I think it encapsulates them as a couple perfectly :-)

Looking forward to making a very long blog post about their wedding soon.

With love,

Heidi & Christians wedding at St Charles & Dockside

Some of you may know I’m a sucker for lace – simply makes me drool and I also have a fetish for Mantilla Veils.

I was very excited then when I saw Heidi’s outfit for her wedding day.

I did an engagement shoot of Heidi & Christian at a beach last year which was showcased on Polka Dot Bride a little while ago.

It was great to get to know them as a couple and for them to know how I like to work on location – it was especially good because on their wedding day the location was cut a little short so they were prepared when I was giving direction and we worked quickly together.

Enough of my rambling – there were many unique aspects of their wedding which you can see in the pictures, especially the reception and some Filipino traditions at the ceremony – so enjoy  these pics!

Jennifer & David’s wedding at Sergeant’s Mess

Jenny & Dave came to see me with their divine curly topped little boy in tow.  They are both super down to earth and Dave is a big joker – he got me a few times on the wedding day, he is sharp as a tack !

Jenny wore one of Jennifer Regan’s creations who I can highly recommend – but with that figure let’s face it Jenny could have worn a rag and looked a million bucks !  It was great to see Bonita Chan in action again – Bonita did the makeup for my own engagement party and does really lovely work.

There is something really special about a wedding with two people who have already had children.  I can’t explain it, but there just seemed to be even more love in the air than usual – because of the kids.  They were an integral and very special part of the day for Jenny & Dave and it felt like the wedding was really completing the family as a unit.

The great thing about a lunchtime wedding with an outdoor ceremony at Sergeant’s Mess is the colour of the sky and water – a rich and vivid blue.  The afternoon ceremonies have a completely different colour – a muted blue with sunset tones which is just as pretty but different.   So our location photography was short and sweet prior to the reception – it was all about the people and the party for these guys and they had a ball.

I hope you’re all gearing up for a nice break over the festive season and are enjoying the wedding planning!
