Ben + Beth | Engaged!

With the smell of autumn in the air, wedding season may be slowly winding down as winter approaches… but for us we are well are truly gripped in the middle of wedding fever! Not less because our very own Beth is getting married!!! It’ll be so special shooting the wedding of one from our eclektic family… we can’t wait to see Beth + Ben tie the knot in a few weeks time.

Before we shoot and share Beth + Ben’s wedding, we should probably share their engagement shoot!

We went to the gorgeous leafy area of Galston for Ben and Beth’s shoot. We had been dying to explore this area and never got the chance, so you can imagine how excited we were!

Ben and Beth’s prop of choice: A thick bundle of letters. These very special letters were written to Beth during the first year of their relationship. Ben had decided to join the army straight after highschool and so, the two of them kick-started their relationship by going long distance. With no internet access and only a hasty 5 minute call every few weeks for the first part of the year, Ben and Beth relied on good old snail mail to keep in contact and to get to know each other better. Although they barely had the chance to talk verbally to each other (let alone see each other), the letters helped them confirm one thing: they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together. Fast forward nearly five and half years later and here we are getting ready to shoot their wedding next month!

 

Dave + Judy | Married!

Our friends Dave + Judy were married the other week… we couldn’t have more thrilled and honoured with the privilege of capturing the moments from their wedding day!

Here’s a little sneak peek from their wedding… full post to follow soon!

Make sure to ‘Like’ us on facebook to be notified as soon as more of their wedding photos are posted!

In the meantime, enjoy some of their photos from their Engagement shoot at earlier this year, taking advantage of the last few days of summer at the beach!

 

 

Nhung + Quoi | Engaged!

We’re very excited to share our latest sneak peek from last weekend’s wedding, but before you share any more photos from Nhung + Quoi’s special day, we should probably share their engagement session first!

We had such an awesome time on their Engagement Shoot… Nhung + Quoi brought along a few outfits and props to reflect some of the things they love doing together.

It made for a really fun, relaxed and personal shoot for them. We really love it when our couples make it the effort to make the most of their sessions by making it really personal. A simple change of outfit can add another level of sophistication or just make it more relaxed and homely… ultimately what that means is that you have more fun and we get the opportunity to take a greater variety of amazing photos!

Why not try a few different looks for your next E-shoot or portrait session like they did? Enjoy:)

Lynda + Daniel | Married!

We have been super excited to share this wedding with you all for a while now but the silly season + having a baby kinda slowed us down a bit! Anyway, we are now happy to share Lynda & Daniel’s wedding photos with you on the blog!

I still remember arriving at the Lynda’s bedroom door and seeing her even before she got into her dress – she was absolutely glowing and excited to get married. Lynda looked absolutely stunning in her  Karen Willis Holmes gown. Her bouquets and floral arrangements and event styling was all created by her amazingly talented cousin Jonathan of JM Creations.

Daniel on the other hand was calm and collected. Looking very stylish in his unique blue suit but with only one thing causing nerves… His speech! Wanting to make sure it was perfect, you can see him putting the finishing touches to it that morning.

Lynda + Daniel chose to have an intimate outdoor ceremony on the balcony of Doltone House in Pyrmont, with their reception following that in the “Loft” immediately inside. This venue was the perfect setting for the party that was to come that evening… just check out all the dancing that went on!!

Lynda + Daniel, you both are amazing! Thank you for your friendship and for such a wonderful day! Enjoy these photos and memories from your special day!

Love
