Very simple informal relaxed wedding today ;-) I started at Carlingford for the preparation and then we headed to Balmoral Beach for some relaxed formals before the ceremony and lunchtime reception at The Tea Room Gunners’ Barracks. The bride was a bridesmaid at a wedding I captured in April 2006. The civil service was conducted by marriage celebrant Kenneth Livingstone (0415 335 341).

Reception :: Marigold Restaurant

Another great overseas couple, they are from the UK. B&G booked me via the internet :-) They must of bought the weather with them :-) The day started at Park Hyatt with the bridal preparation and a simple tea ceremony. We then headed to the grooms place for another tea ceremony and lunch. Bride then headed back to Park Hyatt to get changed into her white gown before we headed to the Chinese Garden for the civil ceremony. The initial ceremony location was going to be at the Hall of Longevity but it was changed to the Tea House due to the crazy weather. The rain stopped for a quick photo session around the garden and cbd. Reception was at Marigold Restaurant @ Haymarket.

A very simple informal relaxed documentary wedding. The day started at Killara for some preparation images and then it was straight to Harbord. The civil ceremony and afternoon lunch was at the lovely Pilu at Freshwater. The ceremony was conducted by one of my favorite marriage celebrant Michael Teulon. The 50’s Cadillac convertible was by Ace Convertibles.

Enjoy the images and leave a comment for the Bride & Groom or me :-)

I had fun today capturing a lovely couple from Singapore :-) We did not meet until today, everything was organised via email, I love the world wide web ! They officially got married last week and is visiting Sydney for 1 week. Hair and Makeup was by the wonderful Martha at www.dmakeupstation.com.

Enjoy the images and thank you for letting me be part of your special time in Sydney.

November is a very busy month, I usually reserve two weekends for my kiddies birthday so I did not book any weddings. We had a combine 6yrs and 8yrs birthday party.
