Saturday 17th April 2010 – Weather was perfect for this lovely wedding at Fagan Park Galston. I captured the Bride and Grooms prewedding session a few months ago, you can see it here. The day started with two Chinese tea ceremonies before we headed to Fagan Park at Galston for the official civil garden wedding ceremony. The wedding ceremony was conducted by Marriage Celebrant Charyl Walsh. We captured some simple informal & relaxed portraits around the park before heading to Rhodes Phoenix for the banquet reception. It was great working with Santo and his team from Paper Cranes Productions…..check out the Same Day Edit below
