Richelle and Gavin

Well we had been waiting forever for Saturday to roll around allowing us to finally shoot Richelle and Gavin's wedding day.
Shell and Gav tied the knot at the cute Raleigh Church nestled in behind Raleigh Winery. The ceremony was beautiful and included plenty of laughs and a few tears of happiness too.
After the ceremony we headed to some nearby derelict train tracks for a few shots before moving on to a local farm to enjoy some more rural surroundings. We made a couple of last pit stops at Shell and Gav's surprise accommodation and the Federal Hotel in Bello's main street.
When we arrived at Thora Hall for the reception we marvelled at how great it looked for what would surely become a reception to end all receptions.
Here are just a few of the shots from the day...

Richelle looked absolutely beautiful.

They DO

Time to slip on the comfy shoes!

The farm

such a quiet bunch.

The Federal Hotel turned on the charm.

Of course Shell and Gav's guest rocked it out in the Photobooth. Here are a few of the clean shots.

Thanks Shell and Gav. We really enjoyed being there on your special day!

Rebecca and Scott

Yesterday we had the pleasure of hanging out with the uber cool couple, Rebecca and Scott. We had a blast hanging out in Thora which is in the Bellingen Valley at the base of the mountains.
Rebecca got ready on her parents property, part of which would be the setting for their beautiful Ceremony. Here are a few details from the morning.


Rebecca had her hair done by Cherry from Hair Odyssey and make up was done flawlessly by Anthea of Anthea's nail, skin & beauty therapies. Once she slipped her dress on she looked absolutely beautiful.

Rebecca and Scott opted to have a "first look" for their big day. A first look is where the couple share some interment time together before the ceremony to soak in all the beauty that is their wedding day. Freeing any real nerves and letting them enjoy a shared experience. Here are a few shots of when Rebecca and Scott first saw each other in full wedding attire.

From my vantage point.

and this was my beautiful wife Jade's view

Rebecca and Scott picked one of the most beautiful ceremony backdrops I have ever come across. The ceremony was nice, and due to the first look Rebecca and Scott had some extra time to hangout with their guest before we headed up the mountain to Griffiths lookout for some more panoramic views.


We made it almost all the way to the top of the mountain before it happened. "What happened" you ask...
We drove right into the clouds. Literally we could only see fifty meters max in any direction. Fog completely blanketed the plateau. But I tell you what, heavy fog + hot couple = magic...
See for yourselves.

WOW!

The day ended with the reception held at the quaint Thora hall. Rebecca and Scott had us set up a photobooth which was an absolute blast. Here are a few of my favourites.

Thanks Bec and Scott, we had a great time shooting your special day. Enjoy your honeymoon, we will see you when you get back.
Please, if you like what you see, leave us your comments, we love hearing from you.

Baby Poppy

If friends of ours Peter and Emily know how to do one thing well, it is how to have girls. Peter and Emily were graced with their third beautiful daughter Poppy in March this year. Last week we had the pleasure of shooting some shots for their family albums.
Here are a few of my favourite images of their girls.

Poppy

Isn't she an angel...

Grace and Chloe, crazy ballerinas

Poppie even had a ballet tutu
