Yesterday was a perfect day for a wedding! After experiencing wild wind, dust storms and below average temperatures in the last few weeks, the weather decided to do Blake and Christie a favour and deliver a sunny, warm, spring day for their wedding. We were even treated to some awesome storm clouds (without the storm) just in time for photos.

We met Blake and Christie much earlier on in the year when we did their Engagement shoot. Having worked with Christie before we knew that she would be one organized bride. We were right. Everything ran so smoothly, everyone was on time and every little detail was perfect. They were married in the rotunda out the front of Sails at Redcliffe. It was a gorgeous location, with the exception of one gold bikini wearing bystander who was obviously keen to feature in the photos.

They then went on the celebrate their reception at Sorrento’s at Deagon. I had my wedding reception here nearly 12 years ago, so walking into Blake and Christies reception brought back some lovely memories.

Guys, thanks for sharing your day with us. We hope you enjoyed the rest of your night and we’ll be in touch very soon.

Blake is a HUGE Superman fan….so we had to think of something for the ring shots to keep him happy!

This little fellow stole my heart. He wasn’t a fan of the camera but man he was cute!

This afternoon we had a gorgeous Engagement shoot with Mel and Dave. Dave is the owner of Vespa Pizza and the beginning of the shoot was held in their new (soon to be open) store. It’s a gorgeous heritage listed building and I just know that the restaurant is going to look amazing once these two finish putting their touches to it. Of course it goes without saying that we just had to use a Vespa somewhere in the shoot and Dave came up with the goods when he supplied us with Nina, his vintage Vespa Scooter.

So after shooting in the new restaurant and with Nina, we were then introduced to Mel and Dave’s two beautiful dogs, Asher and Mischka. Apart from a slight mishap with a cat, they were a pleasure to photograph and it was wonderful to see how in love Mel and Dave are with their dogs (and I’m pretty sure the feeling is mutual by the amount of howling that went on everytime their owners were out of sight).

Guys, thank you for a lovely afternoon. We hope you enjoy your sneak peek and we’ll be in contact very soon.
