The Bride and Groom both worked in the UK, so everything was organised via email. It turns out I was the wedding photographer for 2 of their close friends wedding. The bridal hair and make up was at Holiday Inn Hotel Old Sydney. The bride and groom did not mind seeing each other before the ceremony so we captured some simple formals around The Rocks area before heading to Curzon Hall.  The garden wedding ceremony was in the Enchanted Garden at Curzon Hall. The wedding ceremony was conducted by Marriage Celebrant Louise Robinson. After the wedding ceremony we moved upstairs into the Agincourt Room for the reception dinner.

I started at The Sebel Residence @ Chatswood capturing the wedding preparation. The bride and groom saw each other before the wedding ceremony and we went to the Royal Botanical Gardens for some relaxed portraits. We did get stopped by a park ranger about photography inside the park :-( lucky the groom had booked a table for lunch at Botanic. There was a lunch stop at the Botanic Restaurant inside the Botanical Gardens. The garden wedding ceremony & reception was at Mandalay Receptions at Lane Cove. Coral Kortlepel was the civil marriage celebrant conducting the wedding ceremony.

I meet the groom and bride 4 years ago at their friends wedding, the groom was one of the groomsmen. I started at the hairdressers this morning capturing the hair and makeup before heading over to the grooms place. There was a simple Vietnamese tea ceremony and a lunch banquet. The civil garden wedding ceremony was at Eden Gardens, conducted by Kathryn Breusch. After the ceremony we captured some simple formals around Eden Gardens and also at Anderson Park – Meadowbank. The reception was at the International Function Centre at Canley Vale. It was great working with Lewis & David from TrueLight Video Productions.

The short story is that there are many people out there that will do anything to increase there portfolio, these people are misleading their clients.

I started at Medina Executive Apartments at Coogee capturing the bridal preparation this afternoon. It was a very nice and simple garden wedding today at McKell Park – Darling Point. After the garden ceremony at McKell Park we captured some relaxed portraits around the area and then headed to The Rocks for a very quick photo session before heading to Bronte Beach for a few more photos. The reception was at Bronte Surf Life Saving Club located at Bronte Park over looking Bronte Beach.
