I started in the morning capturing the preparation at the Rendezvous Hotel at The Rocks. The wedding ceremony was at St Johns Chapel located at the University of Sydney. The reception was the very popular WatersEdge Restaurant over looking Sydney harbour. The Slide McBride Band was awesome !

Today was abit chaotic & confusing for me, I only got the wedding day schedule the night before the wedding. I started at the bride’s home capturing the getting ready pics. Martha Mok did the the hair and makeup, she is my other favorite hair and makeup artist :) The church wedding service was at St Peter’s Presbyterian Church North Sydney. This church is dark ! and there is no flash photography allowed. Also the great thing was “no photography allowed during the service for all guests”, but a few guest did sneak a few pics in :) It is actually nice to see guests enjoying the ceremony. After the wedding church ceremony we captured some relaxed images around the north side of Sydney harbour. The afternoon wedding reception was at the Waters Edge at Walsh Bay in the Anchorage Room. After the wedding reception we went to Luna Park for a few more formals before heading to Carlingford for an evening Chinese tea ceremony.

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

The ceremony was at the lovely Allegro Function Centre at Kenthurst. The Indian wedding ceremony went for an hour followed by a quick Chinese tea ceremony & then a light lunch before we headed to Sydney CBD & Sebel Pier One for some informals and also to get change. The weather was perfect all day until the photo session, but we still got some great images :) Hair and Makeup was by Kerry Beever. It was also great to work with Troy (videographer) at EncoreMedia again.

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

It was another long wedding with hair and makeup preparation in the morning followed by two Chinese tea ceremonies. The civil garden ceremony was at Shakespeares Point located within Nielsen Park at Vaucluse.  After the wedding ceremony we had a quick photo session before heading to Watersedge for the reception. Hair and Makeup was by Martha and her team at D’Makeupstation and marriage celebrant was Michael Teulon.
