Tiffany + Jakob - Hobart engagement session

While I was in Hobart recently I squeezed in this Oh So Perfect engagement/family session. It was an early start, but worth it! The Tassie light is especially magical at this time of the day.

Tiffany and Jakob have recently relocated to Tasmania with their little family - Johnny and Lola, and are living in an absolutely stunning 160 year old home in Hobart. They are "unofficially" engaged as Jakob has asked a few times but Tiff hasn't actually said yes yet! She is choosing to wear her late grandmother's engagement ring though so I think this is a sealed deal. Plus - LOOK AT THEM TOGETHER 😍

We wanted the session to be as relaxed as possible and therefore decided to capture the morning routine. This is what we got up to...

 

Nick & Nicolette - Rupert on Rupert, Collingwood Wedding

These two!! Absolutely gorgeous inside and out! What a pleasure it was to photograph their wedding day.
Nicolette and Nicholas (affectionately known as girl-Nic and boy-Nick) opted to have a "first look" before the ceremony. A moment that was so sweet and emotional for both of them.
The ceremony and reception were held at Rupert on Rupert in Collingwood, a stunning, light-filled space with an intimate feel. The bride and groom had their guests in fits of laughter as well as tears during the ceremony. Nicolette promised to love Nick everyday and to love him even more when he cannot love himself. Nick promised to make Nicolette laugh but to not be funnier than her. They both hope to create little humans that kind of, sort of, look like them.
Before the couple and their guests danced the night away, some hilarious and heartfelt speeches were delivered. Nicolette's Dad had the crowd roaring with laughter right to the end.
Girl-Nic and boy-Nick then led the way to the dance floor with a fun routine that they had choreographed together.
What an afternoon, what a night!

Alex & Jess - Collingwood Children's Farm Wedding

It wasn't your standard wedding. Jess and Alex made the day all their own, beginning by getting ready together with their bridal party.
Jess wore a knee length white dress and the rest of the bridal party mixed and matched in red and orange.
The ceremony was short and sweet and as the sun went down we found pockets of light around Collingwood Children's Farm to take the couple's photos. 
There was a whole lot of love, laughter, dancing and wine! 
My cheeks still hurt! 😁

Jess & Matt - Vue on Halcyon Wedding

What a day it was yesterday! The wedding of Matt and Jess will be one to remember. 
Upon arriving to photograph Matt and his groomsmen getting ready I was informed that Matt's best man may have to run off at short notice - his wife was in labour!
The day started out sunny but by early afternoon it was raining and appeared to have set it. Whilst we waited for Jess to arrive at Vue on Halcyon, huddled under umbrellas, we were concerned about her getting soaked when she got out of the car. However, just like the magic, as soon as she pulled up the rain cleared and didn't return until later that night!
Within minutes of the reception beginning, the best man got the call and was off in a flash to take his wife to hospital, but not before he delivered a great speech.
Don't be scared of a little rain on your wedding day, in honestly makes for the best pictures!

Lesley & Gregg - Burnham Beeches Piggery Cafe Wedding

These two and this location were a match made in heaven and I’m so excited to share this little preview.
Lesley and Gregg are beautiful people inside and out. It was obvious that their kindness has reached many in their community by the amount of people that turned up to watch the ceremony. It was just lovely.
Lesley hand-made many of the decorations for the reception and Lesley and Gregg hand wrote cards to each of their guests to thank them individually for the way in which they had supported them or been an important person in their lives.
The guests enjoyed a decadent dessert table, drinks and dancing until the end of the night.
Thank you for having me there to photograph your amazing day!

Katie & Jack - Brunswick Food Store Wedding

Jack and Katie met at Uni. A Melbourne boy and a girl all the way from Drouin.
During their ceremony it was mentioned several times that they wanted to bring people together with their marriage, welcome family and friends into their home and be surrounded by the people they love. It was obvious that they already do this by the fact that they had filled St Hilary’s Church, had many people standing at the back AND had several others in an adjoining room watching on a screen. There was a lot of love for these two.
They enjoyed their first meal together as husband and wife with their guests at The Brunswick Foodstore. An amazing venue with a laid back feel.
Katie and Jack – wishing you both all the best for the future. I hope you have a great week away.

Kate & Chris - Wilson Botanic Park, Berwick Wedding

We were so lucky! Just an hour before the ceremony the wind was crazy and it looked like it might rain but by the time Kate arrived at Wilson Botanical Gardens it was calm and perfect weather for an outdoor ceremony.
Chris was overwhelmed when he saw his bride. It was an emotional and heartfelt ceremony, you could feel the love and tell that these two had already been through quite a lot together. Their children Logan and Grace were there and watched on with the rest of their extended family.
The couple and their guests enjoyed a cocktail style reception at Beaconsfield Football Club that featured a beautiful cake and accompanying dessert table.
The evening progressed with speeches, more tears and many more laughs!
It was a great day to capture, thank you for having me along for the ride Kate and Chris!

Renee & Nic - Yarra Ranges Estate Wedding

Who said opposites attract? When asked what their friends and family would say about them as a couple, they replied “That [they] are exactly the same.”
Nic and Renee share a cheeky sense of humour, the ability to laugh at themselves and a passion for their beloved Collingwood Football Club. Two little magpies even adorned their wedding cake!
Renee and Nic chose to marry at Yarra Ranges Estate in Monbulk after sharing a wonderful meal there one evening with their parents. It proved to be the perfect backdrop for a beautiful wedding.
There were plenty of tears, laughs and squeals of happiness from those that surrounded the pair. It was a pleasure to be a part of such a special day.
Wishing you both all the best.
