Manly Wedding: Chris + Hayley

You know that feeling you have when you’re around those friends you’ve known for years and you feel as though all is right with the world because the laughter never stops and the love they give is spread on thick? That’s what it was like to be around Chris & Hayley, which I find quite amazing since I was just the photographer! I can only imagine what it was like for their close family and friends that came to be a part of their beautiful day.

From offering me breakfast at the start of the day, to practically dragging me onto the dance floor by the end, if I didn’t have a camera in my hand I could have promised you I was just a guest at that wedding. Chris and Hayley, you two are some of the most loveliest and warmest people I have met. Your day was just the same. Thank you for inviting me in and trusting me to capture such an occasion!

Lavender Bay Wedding: Geelong + Jenny

When I first met Geelong + Jenny about a year prior to their wedding it was at a coffee shop that was close by to all of us — turns out we’re essentially neighbours! We sat down for chai lattes and hit it off quite quickly. I don’t know if it was because they told me their dog, Miso would be a large part of the wedding or maybe because they’re both kind and chill people or maybe it was a combination of everything. Either way getting to know them a bit more made me feel like I was a friend getting excited for their wedding rather than just their photographer.

Come the actual wedding day, as most of the warmer Summer months were behind us and the forecast actually called for rain that day, it was a nice surprise to have the sun shine through the clouds its warm rays on Geelong + Jenny’s wedding. And wow! You couldn’t ask for better timing as they recited their personal vows to each other in the middle of Sydney’s Lavender Bay. It was so beautiful and so was the entire day after as we moseyed through the park, walked by the water and then ended the day with multiple course late-lunch from Bei Amici.

And yes, Miso was with us through it all.
