The venue was decorated beautifully in hues of pretty blues, creams and dusky pink flowers that revealed a relaxed and whimsical style and reflected Sara’s creativity.

The couple had been together for 10 years and were living in the UK when, on their anniversary, Steven swept Sara away for a romantic Brighton seaside getaway. It was on that special occasion that Steven proposed to Sara and, through tears of happiness and surprise, she said yes.

They met at a football grand final party when they were just 17 and now, more than a decade later, they held hands under a beautiful March sun and promised they would be together forever.

The afternoon of the wedding was beautiful and warm.  Sara had rented Brentwood House, quaint refurbished 1940s weatherboard in Healesville, in which to get ready for the big occasion.

Sara’s bridesmaids helped carefully button up her one-of-a-kind wedding gown that had been lovingly covered in French lace cut from the dress her mother was married in.

For Sara the dress was unique because her Mum, a former bridal dress maker, had sewn the gown herself.

Sara’s look was sophisticated and contemporary while having beautiful vintage elements. The shoulders of her gown had beautiful diamanté encrusted capped sleeves and unlike the traditional veil, Sara wore a tulle fascinator.

The bridesmaids were dressed in different brands but all complemented each other in a pale shade of dusky pink.

Before long Sara and her ladies were travelling to the chapel in a classic 1950s car that belonged to Steven’s grandfather and is treasured by his family.

Sara said one of her favourite moments during the wedding was seeing Steven, proud with tears, watch her as she walked toward him down the aisle.

In their 12 years together, Sara and Steven had weathered adolescence and foreign countries and both dearly loved how well their personalities complimented each other.

Tom greeted his bride-to-be at her parents’ home and was overwhelmed by Jenny looking gorgeous in an elegant white Linda Gorringe gown, with her hair pulled in a pretty soft twist.

Together with their family the couple strolled from their home to nearby Barkley Gardens in Richmond. There they walked each other down the aisle, and were married underneath luscious green trees during a perfect Melbourne day.

Afterwards Jenny, Tom and their family and friends danced, drank and celebrated at Enoteca on Church Street, a gorgeous art deco restaurant that features wooden floorboards and vintage posters.

Their story spans inter-state borders: they met through a mutual friend who had known Tom in Adelaide and had met Jenny at the Richmond Rowing Club.

The romance started there from there, with Jenny and Tom enjoying long bikes, weekends away surfing, and cruising the Gippsland Lakes, until they both realized their affection from each other.

Then during a romantic mini-break, over a bottle of champagne, they both realised they wanted to make their love official.

Tom said he loves Jenny’s enthusiasm, energy, her ability to just get things done and make things happen. Jenny inspires him to achieve more for himself.

In Jenny’s words “She loves Tom’s good nature and his interest in everything, his vibrant, confident personality was infectious.

I hope you enjoy their very relax wedding which is a true reflection of their beautiful personalities!

I think what made this wedding special was the exuberance and romance that surrounded Vicki and Pedro, and their family and friends.

Vicki was the blushing bride and she wore a stunning lace dress made by New York designer Lazaro.

Her hair was beautifully vintage with a sweeping wave reminiscent of a bygone era.

Pedro stood tall and handsome. He had a very original look, with a slim fitting grey suit and a formal bow tie.

They were married underneath a gorgeous bower of pink, purple and white roses draped amongst luscious greenery in the courtyard of Abbotsford Convent, one of Melbourne’s iconic heritage properties.

Flowers girls dressed in cute blush coloured dresses from Seed Kids held up a sign draped with ribbons that read `here comes the bride, while the guests waved small handcrafted congratulations flags.

Wedding styling company The Style Co adorned the ceremony and reception with hundreds of flowers and greenery that gave the space a real sense of wild beauty. These wild flowers and simple beauties filled the celebration with fresh vivacity.

Pedro is Brazilian and family and friends came from Brazil and all over the world to help the couple celebrate. Each table at the reception had a label that named where the guests were from.

Vicki and Pedro met they were both working as sales reps and about two and a half years ago and exchanged business cards.

Pedro said he admired how self-confident and genuine Vicki was and Vicki said she was won over by how Pedro made her feel so comfortable and special when they were together.

Pedro made a surprise proposal to Vicki at the Qantas check-in as they were about to travel to Jamaica.

He carefully handed a camera to the woman at the check-in counter and bent down on one knee before asking her to marry him!

I am sure this true romance will flourish throughout their marriage!

Vines of Red Hill was the perfect setting for such a beautiful couple who said their vows underneath towering gum trees, against the gorgeous backdrop of the Australian bush.

Vanessa looked elegant in her Sophie Novak gown that had a beautiful corset featuring silk flowers, while Corey looked dashingly handsome in a charcoal Ted Baker suit.

We took their portrait photos along the meandering path lined with fruit trees and flowering bushes.

When the time came to say their vows, Vanessa and Corey were so focused on each other it was like there was nobody else watching…

My favourite part of their wedding was when Vanessa and Corey had their first dance as a married couple.

Not only did they do a contemporary western dance, but that was followed by some traditional Jewish dancing which had all the guests joining the couple on the dance floor.

Vanessa and Corey have known each other for almost 10 years and met through mutual friends.

They travelled around the world together for more than a year in Europe, living in Sweden, visiting Corey’s family in Holland and then Vanessa’s family in England.

Vanessa and Corey are such a genuine and down to earth couple – it was a pleasure to photograph them on such an important day in their lives.

The two New Zealanders have been together for many years and have spent a lot of their relationship travelling and living overseas.

Monique told me that, after they spending three months travelling around Europe in a tiny campervan together, she knew their relationship would last forever!

It was in September when Monique and Jeremy became engaged, while having a holiday in Perth.

During their romantic get away they decided to take a casual bike ride. Every beach they passed by on this particularly hot day, was not quite the right one for Jeremy, and they kept cycling on.

Eventually Jeremy found the perfect beach setting, and asked Monique to marry him! This special beach has been marked on a map so they can return in years to come.

It was at the end of a gorgeous day when we took the photos for Monique and Jeremy’s engagement portraits. We were able to get some lovely romantic images with the backdrop of a beautiful Melbourne sunset.

They had spent many long hours crafting, organising and preparing for the day. All the hard work had paid off and their under-the-water themed wedding had finally arrived and it truly looked spectacular.

Claire wowed their crowd of family and friends with her beautiful and intricate antique white lace Stellini gown.

Atop her long brown locks, Claire wore a treasured headband that had belonged to her grandmother.

The couple spoke their vows in front of their closest friends and family alongside the beautiful lake and amongst the vivid colours of nature.

Claire’s four bridesmaids wore individual dresses in varying shades of green, finished off with a hint of cream to match the bride.

The weather had been rainy all morning in the lead up to Claire and Jeremy’s special day, but miraculously cleared for their wedding and the sun shone all afternoon.

The two met through Jeremy’s sister Melanie and Claire’s sister-in-law Crystal when they were camping in Wye River and they spent the weekend getting to know each other.

Since that first weekend together Claire and Jeremy have shared a love of travel, visiting Vanuatu, Mexico, America and the Galapagos Islands.

For their honeymoon Claire and Jeremy visited the Greek Islands, Egypt and Jordan but I am sure that this is only the first of many adventures ahead together.
