Skye & Glenn - Nuptuals on Loxley


6. February 2012 17:56

If anyone could turn a grey and miserable Sydney sky blue, it must be a bride named Skye. After all, it is Skye's day, so simply only blue will do. After 8 long years (according to Skye's mum), Glenn finally popped the question. Not one to rush into things, Glenn did a great job of planning their wedding day, much to Skye's delight.

It was a fantastic day. Loxley on BellBird Hill is a wonderful venue and Greg Coss offered a delightful and heartfelt ceremony (as usual). I had a great time catching up with one of my favourite couples of 2009 - Chris & Carrie.

Enjoy your honeymoon guys and Happy 30th Birthday Glenn!

Angela & Mason's Little Green and Gold All Black

One of my favourite couples from 2010, Angela and Mason recently welcomed their first bub into the world. They named him Blake Taniora (which means Daniel in Maori) which is Mason's Dad's name. Born three weeks early, he certainly took everyone by surprise. He's settling in nicely and Angela is negotiating new motherhood excellently! Congrats guys, he's adorable. We may just have a new Wallaby amongst us!

Chantal & Jon - From the top end to Berry


17. January 2012 06:53

I first met Chantal and Jon at Catherine & Brad's wedding nearly two years ago and when Chantal rang me from Darwin asking me to shoot her wedding, I was delighted!

In the time between our first meeting and the wedding, Chantal has had a beautiful baby daughter Shyla. They decided to kill two birds and their wonderful wedding ceremony was punctuated with Shyla's naming ceremony. It was a delightful way to welcome the now 12 month old Shyla into her circle of friends and family.

After the ceremony at Apex park in Berry, we drove out to the Silo's Winery for some spectacular scenery. The photo shoot was exceptional as was the wine tasting (so I'm told).

The reception was a Gabby's in Berry.

Congratulations guys - I look forward to seeing you all again in a coule of weeks at Rachel & Mick's wedding!

 

 

Lisa & Marcus - A year ended on a high note.


30. December 2011 10:45

Johnathon, Marcus' brother and best man said in his speech that 2011 had been a tragic year for so many reasons - QLD floods, bushfires and Japanese Sunami's. What better way then, to finish off the year on a high note, with Lisa and Marcus' wedding. I agree wholeheartedly!

For me, 2011 was packed full of spectacular weddings and this one did not dissapoint. Lisa was a stunning bride (after I got the buttons done up!) and their wedding day was up there with the best of the best all year. It appeared that the gods were smiling on them, putting on perfect weather after months of dreary McDreary. The ceremony at Balmoral Island was warm and heartfelt as their celebrant Caroline, is a family friend and close friend Jodi made an emotional reading. After a picture perfect photo shoot at Bradley's Head, the Public Dining Room at Balmoral Baths put on a very stylish and sumptuous feast. 

The Public Dining Room holds a special place in the hearts of the bridal couple as it is the venue of their first date when it was known as the Watermark. Last night it was the venue of yet another new beginning - the beginning of their married life together. I'd wish you both luck, but clearly you don't need it. Lisa and Marcus, thank you for a wonderful end to my 2011. Believe me, the pleasure was all mine.
