Sonya & Kevin – Shelly Beach – Le Kiosk
Sonya & Kevin had a beautiful ceremony on Shelly Beach that included a lovely exchange of roses. It was a fun crowd – I love the shot of their friend / driver – a good thing Sonya chose Kevin to marry and not this ‘Bad Boy’.

The clouds were threatening all day but we didnt…

The ceremony itself was lovely,…
Lani & Steve – Le Kiosk Shelly Beach
Lani & Steve’s was a very local wedding for me and I started the day with Lani’s preparations just around the corner from our studio at the Manly Pacific Hotel.

It has great food, there’s an intimate indoor space, and it has an outside courtyard area as well. Lani & Steve held the ceremony at the back of the courtyard area and it had a lovely feel of a tropical garden setting.…
