Sara and Nima’s Wedding at The Prince in St Kilda

Tuesday, February 1st, 2011

I like Sara and Nima’s style. They didn’t get caught up in the need to be conventional, to follow tradition or add a lot of extra faff. They just picked out what was important to them and went with it.

Sara and Nima had always planned to meet before the wedding ceremony to take some photos, so that the ceremony could run straight into the reception. We’d planned to meet in a local park for this “first look”, but just before the wedding Sara rang me and said that things were getting a bit logistically complicated, and that Nima was just going to come around to pick her up at the house. So that he did! Nima was greeted at the front door by the warm embrace of Sara and her family, which was followed by excited squeals. It was truly a unique, completely uncontrived moment. A unique moment for me to capture on camera. That is what weddings are all about—the unique moments.

It was so much fun wandering around St Kilda with Sara and Nima. They just smiled, laughed and joked the whole time. The ceremony was on the deck of the Prince, which was shared with their nearest and dearest who had travelled from all over the world to be there. The sun setting over the bay and St Kilda was the perfect backdrop for their laid-back reception.

It was a truly special day.

A big thank you to Andy for assisting me on the day. He went above and beyond when he chased seagulls around St Kilda!

Jess and Chris~Wedding at Sails on the Bay, Elwood beach and St Carthages

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

Today, I have another beautiful February wedding to post.  Jess and Chris got married at St Carthage’s in Parkville, and had their wedding reception at Sails on the Bay in Elwood. We took some photographs at Melbourne University and on the beach around St Kilda and Brighton because of Jess and Chris’s fond affiliation with the beach. Jess and Chris were such a lovely couple to photograph. Everyone had so much fun! Chris’s parents came over from the UK, and quite a few of their friends came from Dubai. You would have had no idea that it was such an international group though, as everyone got on together like they were old friends! Jess’s dad who passed away a few years ago was honoured beautifully throughout the day and Chris’s dad was the best man! How cool is that!  Jess and Chris have now gone home to Dubai.
