Samuel & Chloe

Our last wedding was the lovely Samuel and Chloe.  At our meeting Chloe kindly showed me her six bridesmaids dresses (all different pastel hues) and I couldn't wait to see them on the day and in the photos!

We started out the day at Chloes home, the girls were all dressed and organised when we arrived and we could get straight into the photos.  That was great as there were six bridesmaids, flowergirl, pageboy, mother and father of the bride and of course the bride herself!

The ceremony was held at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses at Wyong.  The little page boy was too shy to walk down the isle, even with the help of the flowergirl and one of the bridesmaids! He was adorable and his mum had to take an unexpected trip down the isle with him!

The photo shoot was held over a few locations, one being back at the brides home.  Which was a lovely idea, her parents have a beautiful home and lovely gardens.  Chloe is very close to her family and I think it was wonderful for her to capture these memories there.

The bridal party was large to say the least, but they were so cooperative - I really couldn't believe how fast we got through all the photos!

The reception was lovely - its obvious these families are all very close, it was a joy to be there and a part of their day.  Enjoy x.

Lee & Rebekah

A couple of weeks ago we had the beautiful wedding of Lee and Rebekah.  I was so excited about this one because it was going to be held up near the beautiful Hunter Valley wineries.  We live so close but most brides choose the beach for the setting of their day.

So we began Lee and Rebekah's wedding at Rebekah's home.  It was a hot day, and Energy Australia decided to work on the lines in that area - they had no power on the day of the wedding!! Despite that, the house was cool and there was plenty of natural light.

The girls and family were ready nice and early so we had time to get plenty of shots in Rebekah's home. Then we headed off to the Cessnock Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses for the ceremony.  The boys were nervously waiting and there was quite a crowd building.

The ceremony was lovely and there were so many family and friends there to witness this union.  Afterwards we gathered the family together for one big group shot out the front of the hall.  There were a few horn toots by passersby!!

We took advantage of a number of wineries for the photo shoot and then headed to the reception at the Mecure Hotel.  Where the bridal party could finally let their hair down and cap off their day with a lovely meal and some dancing with their friends and family.

Thanks Lee and Rebekah, enjoy x
