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.

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

We were very lucky with the Sydney weather today since the outdoor garden ceremony at Mandalay was at 5:30pm. There was lightning and thunder but the rain stayed away until later in the evening. The day started at 9am with me capturing the preparation. There was one tea ceremony and we were off to the location shoot around Luna Park and Lavender Bay. The civil ceremony and reception was at Mandalay @ Lane Cove.
