Michael & Brooke's wedding

2009-04-28T18:02:00.005+10:00

I would have to say that this wedding would come close to the biggest bridal party I have ever done! 16 of them! So it was a challenge to say the least but it was a beautiful and magical day and Brooke didn't even have 1 rose in her flowers! Go Brooke! As much as roses are beautiful it is great to see something different..(there were even limes in them yes limes..too cool!) I have known Brooke and her family for many years and its lovely to see this little girl I once new become a beautiful bride..congrats to you both!

how cool is this...the bridal party arrived by boat for the reception!

Libby & David's hot air ballon wedding!!

2009-04-08T07:17:00.005+10:00

This wedding will stay with me for a very long time..Why? Well where do I start??? With the most magical morning you could ever dream of to have a hot air balloon wedding Libby & David were so blessed and so was I to be apart of this special event. My heart skipped a beat when they 1st enquired with me as it has always been my dream to do a wedding in a hot air balloon (more wanted please hehe). So when they booked I was super excited and to top it off I was asked to be their witness as well WOW! What an honour..I felt so special and touched..

The basket was nice and cosy with just enough for the 5 of us..the couple, the celebrant, the balloon operator and of course ME! So very intimate.

I wasn't going to let any part of this special morning go amiss so hence Bec went in another balloon to get the overall view of the couples balloon and then I decided it would be best to have another on the ground as well..(thanks Fi!) So it was well and truly covered...Once we reached a suitable spot and height the ceremony took place and man it was so beautiful! Once the "high" hehe of the trip was over it was then off to have a breakfast where family were waiting for them and we then signed the papers on the ground and we all had breakfast. The couple then had a celebration evening dinner with over 100 people (so more images later). I have included a slide show link below for those of you on pc (sorry mac users).

Special thanks to Marlon and his team @ http://www.hotairballoning.com.au/ for everything. Enjoy this special event..

Renee & John's wedding part 2

2009-03-16T09:07:00.004+11:00

The well awaited part 2 is here!!

Renee & John's wedding part 1

2009-03-11T15:54:00.006+11:00

I know Renee has been on the edge of her seat to see some more from her fab wedding!! I must say Renee sent me into a detail spin with enough details to sink a battleship!! YOU go girl! I knew things were going to be good when we reached the room and there was even this sign below "bride and bridesmaids dressing room" outside the door. So lets start with some from the girls getting ready and a part 2 will follow shortly ;)

Renee & John's sneak peek

2009-03-02T21:44:00.003+11:00

Well Renee wanted a little teaser of their special day. Hold on tight people for this wedding post!

Donna & Matthew's wedding

2009-02-25T11:04:00.007+11:00

I am sure Donna & Matthew are eager to see some images from their wedding that was on that hot Saturday..and yes the fires...

The wedding was in Yarra Glen with the reception at Chateau Yering. I think the guys were very brave in the 3 piece suits in that heat...

Donna looked stunning in her gown and with the bridesmaids in a slick black timeless gown. Donna & Matthew live overseas so planning this wedding must have had its ups & downs but with the help of many people from here they had a beautiful wedding. this image above was taken JUST before the ceremony and then the images below is just after the ceremony had finished! So the it was amazing how quick it all happened.

Donna thought she would become my budding assistant for the day..hehe

My close call during the fires..

2009-02-22T08:21:00.003+11:00

Well these last 2 weeks have not been good ones for alot of people in Victoria. These fires have destroyed so much it is hard to comprehend. On THAT Saturday I actually had a wedding near them! We were unaware how bad they were as you are working and your main focus is on capturing the couples special day. It wasnt until we got to the reception venue and told we were in lock down and couldnt leave that we thought...well dont know what we thought really...I just kept working.

After much waiting we were told we had a very small window to get out NOW...Bec & I ran to the car and drove...and this is what we saw when we left! We had to drive through walls of smoke and flames at the side of the road..it was scary...

Belinda & Brett's wedding

2009-02-17T15:58:00.007+11:00

This chic wedding had lots of charm and details..YUM! With tones of black & white and touches of green at the reception, this wedding oozed style.

With the ceremony at a church in Malvern and then it was off to capture some of the bridal party before heading of to the venue "Sails On The Bay".

Marissa at "A Lavish Affair" did a fab job at the venue with all the special touches.

Re the bush fires

2009-02-13T10:59:00.002+11:00

I guess everyone by now knows about the grieve and loss of these terrible bush fires.

I haven't had a chance to post this week as yet as I too was there...and shooting a wedding! The heat alone was incredible let alone the smoke and ash etc. I will share the story and images soon.

My heart goes out to all those who have lost....

Carly's "Roaring" 21st

2009-02-02T09:32:00.006+11:00

With us all melting in the massive heat wave thought some "cool" images from a 21st is in order! This 21st is certainly one to remember! The theme (1920's tea party with a twist of Alice in wonderland) was pulled off beautifully and all the little details made this a special party for sure. Carly is surly a beautiful person inside and out and I felt honoured to capture this great afternoon. starting with the teacups! everyone had their one special different one which I just loved!
hows her outfit!

how glam does she look!

well I didn't have too much time to do some portraits of her before the guest starting arriving...well 3 mins and 24 sec to be exact..talk about a little pressure Carly..

how are these!!! there were 2 different ones of these for people to put their heads through to get photos...

and of course a bit of croquet was in order..

well a few tears were shed during the speaches ;)

and a few laughs..

I LOVE this! It's Carly with her brother. hehe

Carly during a slideshow her mum made of her over the year..guess she was just a little embarrased huh?

Look how some of the food was served!

Yummy! Ok I'm enough food, making me hungry.

Shani & Reuben part 2

2009-01-24T16:46:00.005+11:00

The 2nd post to this wedding will show the amount of incredible details that went into the reception and the whole day. I have never seen a wedding well themed like this before and what was the icing on the cake was having pro lighting guys there creating this unbelievable setting at the reception (money well worth guys!). I could have not got some of the images I did without them and their lights...so enjoy...

here are these 2 cute kids again...they were dolls!

hows this for a location!

see what I mean with the setting...

Guys thanks for allowing me to be apart of this amzing day...

Shani & Reuben part 1

2009-01-22T09:08:00.006+11:00

This wedding will have to be in two parts..well because I went into a details frenzy again and I am having trouble picking which ones to put up..so rather than delay it any further I thought that I would put up to the ceremony for now.

Where was this incredible winter wonderland themed wedding?? "Morning Star Estate..that is some venue to have a wedding!

ok I am a little green..sigh

this image above is just too funny..there is a bridesmaid under there somewhere, she is taking the gown to Shani..

isnt she just devine..

lots of beautiful colours at this wedding...

these two were just tooooo cute.

2009-01-15T07:59:00.002+11:00

Well this year is off to full steam ahead...there are some great weddings this year along with a hot air balloon wedding and a Hayman Island one as well. And I dont like to post without an image..so below is the very cute couple Shani & Reuben wait till you see this wedding...I will hold off on all the details for their post...stay tuned!

2009-01-09T17:53:00.006+11:00

I am slowly getting caught up on my blogging! Lets hope this year I get a chance to post a little more.

Rahni & Trent are this amazing fun loving couple and I felt blessed to be apart of their special day. The weather leading up to the day wasnt looking good but on the day the sun appeared! The wedding was down at Lorne and it was all just perfect.

some of the detail made for the wedding...I just loved them!

how cool do these two look!

the flowers were also fab! Not just a bunch of

roses for Rahni ;)

Rahni was such a champ climbing up on these rocks and the waves came up on her feet...but she just ran with it and had a ball..

all the bridal party were a blast and so much fun..

surfboards played a big part of the day..

the venue was done up great with lots of little details...

and below hows THAT for a cake!!!! It really looked like a real sand castle!!

Her gown was created by the amazing and fab Shane McConnell and Penny her wedding planner ( here ) pulled together a wow feast of details for me to photograph..go Penny! Well enough typing as I am sure you are just wanting IMAGES!

I so loved the bridesmaids dresses...

A chocolate fountain was also there for all to enjoy!

Penny had hung all different goodies on huge tress in the venue!

and curtains along with a lighting company put an extra wow to the venue space.

Junna & Antony's wedding part 1

2008-12-23T20:06:00.003+11:00

I will have to share this beautiful wedding in 2 parts as I should have had some of these up a few days ago! Sorry guys! But now things are slowing down just a little I thought I would jump on tonight and do as much as I could ;) So enjoy these few for the moment, and more will come and I will also write a little more about this wedding when time permits.

How special is this of her dad just before they walked down the aisle!

Jessica & Leigh

2008-12-21T16:29:00.007+11:00

With Christmas nearly upon us things are getting more than a little crazy..but I so want to share some images from some amazing weddings that I have been capturing! Jessica & Leigh live overseas and with the help of family and friends pulled of a detailed full wedding that made my eyes pop with joy...we were off to a good start when I spied a "Tiffanys" box and then the "Jimmy Choo" shoes! A girl with style ;)

Got to LOVE peonies! what a shame they are only available about 2 months of the year here..sigh

Jessica was just like this beautiful doll that you could just box up...

how groovy were the guys socks!?!

ther were a few tears shed during the ceremony..

OMG! how lucky were we wiht this peacock!!! I think it put on a show just for them ;)

and instead of table numbers they had places where they had been..
