Ever since I photographed Bec and Nathan's registry wedding a handful of months ago I had been looking forward to their marriage celebrations which promised to be a sweet and cozy affair infused with their love for indie, etsy, and plenty of DIY love. One step into their hotel room where they were getting ready and my eyes feasted upon buckets and buckets of market flowers, their floral aroma mixed in with rosemary from the many sprigs lying around, and so many pretty colours and details all round!


Bec confessed she had no idea what she was doing when she made those boutonnieres but I thought she did a pretty good job..frosted leaves, red pepper berries, and grey velvet make a perfect combo!

Love the shot below, taken by Joel, pretty much straight out of camera :)


Off for a quick photoshoot before they had to get their dinner venue all prettied up...


Even though it was fairly early in the day the light was real pretty....I love autumn, and I love the colour palette below! Well done with all the bouquets Eleanor!


Bec's dress was from Etsy, and the feather accessory piece was a later addition and it worked so well!!!




The girls just hanging while Nathan scooted off to fetch a van full of flowers!

Held at Le Pain Quotidien in Surry Hills with the closest of family and friends, it was such a warm and intimate little celebration, and so fun to be a part of!

This little boy became the photo waiter, delivering the retro photobooth strips as soon as they were despatched from the machine and matching them to their rightful owners!

More etsy awesomeness, beautifully personalised invites!

Loved the Provençal feel, flowers galore and warm stained walls!


A simple night of good wine, good food, good company, surrounding a couple in love and the witnessing of their renewal of wedding vows...


Thank YOU Rebecca and Nathan! Thank you for my apple jam and rosemary sprigs, and such warm memories of a wonderful night of celebration with you both. Thank you for giving us the privilege to capture your evening, made with love! xx
Bindy and Jules' wedding was the first family/ relative wedding Joel and I had officially done and we were looking forward to hanging out with half of the guests under the guise of being wedding photographers hehe! They had chosen to have a sweet and simple wedding without a bridal party and all held on the one location, officiated by their own minister and it was an amazing day. Be prepared for a long-ish post, it was too hard to cull this one!!
Bindy looked soooo beautiful in this Pronovias gown and the light in their home was lovely to work with...



Jules' little boy Aidan getting the ring run-down...

The gorgeous details....


A special moment....


Making promises...


Bindy didn't stop smiling for a second!


Loved these dainty little flowers, the ones on the left are real, and the ones on the right are made with sugar by the talented Faye Cahill. This cake was amazing, if you got within 10 metres of it you could smell the rich chocolate aroma!!

Beautiful speeches all round. I love speeches, you get to know so much about the couple and their families and what is important to them, and Bindy and Jules are truly very special people...



These macarons were gigantic and delicious, I had them for brekky the day after :P

My little nephew Zac looking mischievous. He wasn't really looking up at the cake i think he was looking up at Uncle Joel taking his photo...

Lauren doing her best to get Missy to catch the bouquet...

The farewell arch complete with a baby!


The weather humoured us on the day. We were really grateful it didn't bucket down during the ceremony but as soon as the formalities were over it started to spit, and then began to come down in sheets....but these guys were awesome and decided that wasn't going to stop them...so here goes our little shoot in the rain, shooting until my fingers got wrinkly!!

Love the rich colour!





When Bin and Jules came over to look at albums he made a comment about liking photos that look like a little series, so here we go Jules, this little set is for you!!




Bin embracing the raindrops!


Love these....


Thank you both sooo much for one of the most memorable weddings ever, the love you both have for each other and those around you makes us smile and know you are going to have amazing days and years ahead. Thank you for being absolute stars out in the rain...can't wait to see you guys grow old together and making the best out of everything that comes your way!! God bless, xx
A couple of months ago there was hardly any airtime planned save for a wedding in Hong Kong that I had intended to stretch into a little end of year holiday with the hubby, possibly detouring to Vietnam or Japan before coming back to Sydney for 2011. Somehow 2010 has taken me by surprise, and I am very very delighted to announce my travel schedule for the year...

Thank you to the wonderful couples who love my work enough to bring me over to where they will be, I can't wait to absorb it all, and also indulge in more travel photography which is always entirely refreshing.
Bolivia won't be for work though, Joel and I were excited to find out the Tan family will be going back with a team from their local church mid-year and have decided to join them. I hope to document a bit more of what's happening in that part of the world, and also am really looking forward to see how all the kids are, I hope I still recognise them! For those of you who are curious, or just want to reminisce with me, here's some of my memories from our last trip with them in 2006 - Sucre, Presto, Pancoche, and Villa Margarita.
Can't wait for the rest of the year to unfold.....much love!! xx
Excited to be on The Knot's top 10 list for photography!!! I'm not quite sure I deserve to be rubbing shoulders with the amazing talent in that list but you won't hear me complaining!
Oh, and stay tuned for tealilyphotography travel destinations 2010 in the next post :D
Peace out y'all xx
