david & kesha

David & Kesha had an elegant but relaxed harbour-side wedding at Q Station in Manly and despite the very windy cliff-top ceremony (that threatened to take away Kesha's veil at some points), it was a gorgeous, sunny spring afternoon and all went off with out a hitch!

From the pale green bridesmaid dresses to the fresh, white and green bouquets and the wonderful and non-traditional inclusion of the groom's sister as one of the groomsmen'' - every detail had been carefully selected.

What I loved most about this wedding (apart from all the pretty detail) was that it was all about family and laughter. There was a beautiful tribute to family members no longer with us during the speeches and a wonderful routine as the bridal waltz! These two are madly in love and it shows!

I was welcomed as one of their guests and I couldn't have been more privileged to be there to capture their day!

winter weddings

I'm not so much of a winter person... I tend to feel the cold more than most and the idea of getting married outside on a cold, winters day isn't something I would normally think was a good idea.

But... that all went out the window when a winter date was selected for my own wedding. It seemed to make sense too, as the end of August means you almost get spring weather anyway... along with the fact that August is one of the driest months in Sydney (so that suited an outdoor wedding ceremony perfectly)!

It seems that more and more couples these days are actually picking winter dates too! Which I now LOVE! 

Not only is the weather proving to be SPECTACULAR, but a few extra clothing layers (and some sunshine) are all you need...

I'm not normally a great morning person, but I'm so glad these two were the reason I got out of bed to watch a glorious sunrise over Manly beach!

These two are getting married at the end of this year and after getting to know them better this morning, I feel like I've made two new friends! It's yet another reason why I love doing what I do...
