My friend and previous photography assistant Jess, married her man is a sensational country wedding in Lawrence on the weekend. For all the unpaid hours, bag carrying, support and laughing at jokes she has heard me repeat many times, the best gift I could give her was to shoot her wedding. Many many congratulations Jess and Angus!!

I knew Rebecca would be a gorgeous bride from the minute I met her at the Yamba Bridal Expo last year. When I arrived at Rebecca’s house she looked just perfect! Daniel is just so lovely. During their wedding day if I wanted him to smile, I asked him to look at Rebecca. His smile reached his eyes and then went further.

The light was just magic as I was taking photos and I was getting so excited!  I guess I am what you would call an energetic photographer. I have way more fun than I probably should! I wish my brides and grooms didn’t have to go to their receptions.

Rebecca and Dan absolutely trusted me with their photographs and were up for anything I suggested. I hope that you love them!

The ceremony was held in Sannas gardens, Palmers Island and they are incredible. Every time I go there I am in awe. You see, I have one plant, it requires watering once per month. And even then I sometimes forget.

Gina is so passionate about her garden and her love for it shows in every corner. I was talking with Gina today and she can’t wait until she can just concentrate on her garden. I told her she could do that when she retires! She thinks she better get a wriggle on because she’s….been 21 a few times!

I have to admit I had a small giggle during the ceremony as my friend and celebrant Christine Preston held the bouquet for Rebecca. She looked like the bridesmaid!

Thank you so much Rebecca and Daniel for having me photograph your wedding. I feel so spoilt to be your photographer!! xx

The gorgeous Rebecca:

The florals were created by Yamba Florist Debbie May:

I had a very early start with the boys, but they were up and ready having already cooked up a BBQ breaky!

Whilst the girls were having the final touches done to their make up, I took a few detail shots

This is such a simple design and it looked so beautiful. The flowers were the ultimate accessory to Vanessa’s gown.

Seeing everything all coming together is so exciting:

Vanessa just looked radiantly happy all day:

And classically gorgeous:

The ceremony was held at the Maclean Showground, in a picturesque area with the McFarlane Bridge and Clarence River in the background.

There was not a breath of wind and the river was a perfect mirror as Vanessa and Michael exchanged vows and rings:

I often don’t include photos of when my couples are signing the register as I don’t believe I do anything amazingly different to any other photographer out there. However, this time I’ve decided to, I think the photos show a good example of my style of shooting during the ceremony, photojournalistic and unobtrusive, my goal is to have you not even aware that I am there!

I  really love the time when the witnesses are signing the register and the bride and groom get a chance to talk with each other, I love the glances, the touches and the smiles.

And then we have the kiss!!

If you are a regular reader of my blog, you will already know that this is one of my most favourite shots of the day!

I love how she scrunches up her nose when she laughs, and smile and laugh is what Vanessa did all day.

The bridal party were fantastic!

Very different photos here for me, being a nature girl I am often at beaches and the bush, these next few photos are very urban and funky!

Blue Steel!

I love it when a bride is into her photos and really brings it!

And Vanessa isn’t the only one with the moves, no sir-ee!

A huge congratulations to you both. I hope you have a great time in New Zealand, I can’t wait to catch up with you when you return.

Love, Vicki x

My day began with photographing the boys on the banks of the Clarence River, Maclean:

Then I visited the girls where Lily was having her finishing touches done:

Gorgeous details;

What a gorgeous bride:

The girls are just beautiful;

Lily arrived in style to the Maclean Presbyterian Chrurch for the ceremony:

And was accompanied down the aisle by her Dad:

I think my eyes started to leak also, but I quickly pulled myself together so wouldn’t fog up the viewfinder!!

The ceremony was conducted by minister Al Bourke:

I always, always love this photo!! So happy!!

After the ceremony, we went up to the Maclean Lookout for some photos. The light filtering through the bush was beautiful:

A great party!

Lilys dress was stunning:

Loved the shoes…big time!

The bodice of Lilys dress was encrusted with crystals and sequins and was just stunning. Lily wore her grandmothers pearls:

Thanks to Debbie May for the beautiful flowers:

I really love the next series:

Michael and Lily had a fun welcome back to their reception!

The reception was a beautifully simple, a marquee in the front yard, perfect for a relaxed Summer afternoon. The high heels were ditched and the Haviananas came out as the cananpes and drinks were enjoyed.

Congratulations Lily and Michael! I hope you have a great honeymoon and I can’t wait to catch up with you when you return.

Love, Vicki x

Tristen and Brett were married in the beautiful grounds of the Alumy Creek Reserve, Grafton. They said their vows in front of their family and friends in the shade of the gorgeous trees that were the back drop to the ceremony.

My day started with the boys. Being October in Grafton, the Jacaranda trees were in full flower and spent blooms carpeted the ground:

The boys were an energetic lot!

The little flower girl was an absolute delight;

Tristen had themed their wedding with a mix of pink and white, and her stunning pink gown and veil complemented the look perfectly.

Gorgeous little family:

After the ceremony we took the bridal party photos on the grounds of the reserve:

As the sunset over the paddocks behind the marquee, I could hear the sounds of love and laughter as Tristen and Brett celebrated their first night as husband and wife. Congratulations!!

Until next time,

Vicki

But lets go back to the beginning:

First up, the guys hanging out before the ceremony:

Then I went to the girls house where Kylie was getting her finishing touches done:
