Elizabeth & Aaron - biggest wedding post eva!

Where to start with Liz & Aaron? Well, if you've been checking out my blog you may remember I posted a few shots from their post wedding session back in September here. Well finally I have gotten around to posting more shots from that session, plus a bunch from their wedding two days earlier at Labassa in Caulfield - the most amazing hidden away wedding ceremony venue I've come across so far. No couple I know have ever paid as much attention to detail as these two. Liz fell so much in love with Labassa that she had her dress specifically made to match the feel and era embodied by the place, and even their cake was decorated to match the detail around the building, wow! Anyway, enough talk - check out their shots below!





















A couple of details from their reception ...

And one snapped not long before I left - I just love how amazlingly happy they look in this photo.
And from our session at the Aumann Family Orchard in Warrandyte (THE place for great fruit, veg & other gourmet produce this side of town) at 6.30am two days after their wedding. This first one is probably my fave from the whole shoot... (HUGE thanks to David Tomlinson who got up early to join me on this shoot and also took some great shots!)


It was VERY windy so we couldn't use the veil as much as we wanted to, but I love this shot of Liz trying to control it.





(Little) Lady in Red!

I have so much to catch up on! My blog's been pretty quiet this month but only because I've been crazy busy with shoot after shoot! Here's a few gorgeous pics from a portrait back in July to get started ...

Anna & Paul

As soon as I met Anna and Paul I knew their wedding was going to be something special. As couples go they are two of the warmest, loveliest people I've met! And as weddings go, they had planned something very special that would mean a lot to themselves but also ensure their guests had an unforgettable day, and that's exactly what it was. They were married on their very own bush block in the Grampians, surrounded by the landscape and people that they love. It really was a perfect day. This is a big post but there were so many beautiful moments and details on their day I couldn't cut it down any more. Enjoy!

Paul getting some help with his kit!


These page boys were on fire all day! I think they had been told they were undercover spies from Scotland (or something along those lines) to get them happily into their kilts, and they totally went with it!

And joined by the gorgeous flower girls ...


I just love this profile of Anna, snapped in the bathroom while putting the finishing touches to her hair.

One of the gorgeous details on their block ...
And the stunning ceremony venue - the weather was perfect!
Anna & party arriving on the horse and carriage...




Captured this moment of the page boy wiping his nose with his tie - classic!



I am certain the horse was posing for this photo!











Anna proposed to Paul playing scrabble, so this was a theme throughout their wedding. One of their friend's had made a giant scrabble board for people to play with on the day, and as you can see they had some fun with it!

They gave everyone a native plant to take home with them...
The stunning cake, decorated with Australian natives ...
Just some of the amazing food ...

Paul started off making the speeches ...
... and had to hand over to Anna as he got all teary.
Anna and Paul stayed in a teepee on their block for the wedding night. It had enough room for over 10 people and a fire inside, amazing!
