Photographing a couple’s wedding is such a priviledge….. but photographing a family members wedding is something in a completely different league. When my sister-in-law, Anne & her fiance, Rory asked me to document their wedding, I was beyond excited and couldn’t wait! I also managed to enlist the photographic abilities of Cassandra Anguita-Deep of caspix photography (seriously awesome Sydney photographer) to join me as second shooter for the day. To check out her blog preview from the day see her website.
After a relatively short engagement, the week of the wedding arrived. We packed up our kids, our clothes and my camera gear and set off to Sydney’s Northern Beaches for what was to be a brilliant weekend.
I fully expected Anne to look stunning as a bride, but when I saw her getting ready, then step out in her wedding dress I found it a little hard to focus through a few teary moments (which I did exceptionally well to cover up of course). The bride, the bridesmaids (also my sister-in-laws, plus another who may as well be) looked incredible. There was just so much happiness and love floating around.
When we arrived at Long Reef Golf Course, Rory and his man-crew also looked incredibly dapper. I just loved watching Rory’s face as his bride walked down the aisle, and my father-in-laws face as he walked her down (seriously, two of the best moments to capture at a wedding.)
Everything went beautifully, and after the ceremony we headed to the top of Long Reef to take some more photographs. The funniest part was hooning up the top of the headland on Golf Carts. God, it makes me laugh so much just thinking about it. Me and Cas were seriously lagging behind the bridal party’s golf carts, so we were madly going pedal to the medal through ditches and hills, camera’s on laps, to get to the top. When we did, woah – what a sight! You can see just how beautiful the view was in the photos below…
The entire day was absolutely stunning, so many perfect little touches and beautiful words spoken. I love seeing the two of you together – so much love, mutual respect, conversation, and companionship. I am so pleased you found each other (although there wasn’t much chance of missing each other when you only lived a few doors apart!).
And now….. hopefully the photos will do the day justice! I hope you enjoy your preview and the remainder of your honeymoon. Oh, and welcome to the family Rory – we love having you in it! xoxo.
