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.

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 !

Steph & Dan at Sergeant’s Mess Mosman

Dan is in The Army – Steph buys shoes for a living. WHAAAATTT!!?  My jaw did literally drop when she told me.  Steph came to see me on her own as Dan was overseas at the time working hard for our country.  Being a winter wedding, we decided to do a ‘first look’ and their ceremony was right at sunset.

I loved all the pastel colours Steph co-ordinated for their wedding and her dramatic makeup – so many girls go natural it was lovely to see someone glamming it up.

Enjoy!

With love,

Imogen & John’s wedding at The Botanic Gardens Restaurant

Imogen & John came to me as a recommendation from the lovely Ilona & Ben who are previous clients.  Little did I know until the wedding day that Imogen was expecting and you can only tell by the glow she was sporting!

Imogen & John’s wedding was all about their family and friends and enjoying the location.  They had a spectacular day and served champagne in the gardens after the ceremony which was a nice touch – then everybody wandered down to the the Botanic Gardens Restaurant to continue the celebrations.

Enjoy,
With love,
