Photos from recent weddings
Alyssa & Geoff – Shore Chapel – Athol Hall
Alyssa & Geoff were married at the Shore School Chapel, a beautiful place and Shore School has fantastic views out over the city and of the Harbour Bridge. We did some location photos at Bradley’s Head before the reception at nearby Athol Hall. It’s such a great wedding reception venue, right on Sydney Harbour (check out the last photo for the view!) and with a huge front lawn that is also a popular choice for a wedding ceremony. Alyssa & Geoff had a great day with plenty of smiles and laughs, congratulations guys!
Kenney & Brett – Georges Heights – Tea Room Gunners Barracks
Kenney & Brett were married in early March at one of my favourite venues – the Tea Room at the Gunner’s Barracks. The ceremony was held at the lookout area of George’s Heights, and the sunny day made Sydney Harbour a very beautiful backdrop! We did some quick photos up the top before a lunch time reception at the Barracks, then more photos at Bradley’s Head afterwards. Congratulations guys!
Kat & Steve – Christ Church – St Georges Motor Boat Club
Kat & Steve had a lovely ceremony at Christ Church in Mortdale, full of smiles, laughs and beautiful singing. We took photos at Carss Park on the waterfront of Kogarah Bay, there’s a great little cottage down there, and the reception was at St George’s Motor Boat Club. We had a lovely day, the bridal party was heaps of fun….. congratulations guys!
Chantelle & Dylan – Botanic Gardens – Tea Room QVB
Before Chantelle and Dylan were married the entire bridal party met in the Botanic Gardens. This is quite a common event in weddings overseas and it’s a great way to make that ‘first look’ of each other a lot more personal and dramatic! We then took some great photos in the Botanic Gardens before the ceremony which was held in the Tea Room at the QVB. This is an awesome venue that has beautiful old world looks but also a warm and intimate feel. The whole day was just fantastic, congratulations guys! The video was done by Dave at D’nM Video. He was great to work with and the video…
Zoe & James – Pymble Golf Club
Zoe and James were married at the Pymble Golf Club in the St Ives area. It’s a great venue with long green rolling fairways and trees galore. Unfortunately rain clouds were threatening all afternoon and as luck would have it we had a heavy shower come through right at the ceremony start time…. so inside it was. The rain cleared away for some great shots on the golf course itself and somehow no one in the bridal party managed to crash their cart! Congratulations guys!
Sherry & Jon – Shelly Beach – Le Kiosk
It was a beautiful sunny blue skies day when Sherry and Jon were married at Shelly Beach in Manly. It’s such a great location, the ceremony was really lovely (check out the little guy that wandered up fascinated by the flags!), and everyone relaxing on the beach afterwards makes for a great start to the night! We did some location shots at Fairy Bower point and then back on Shelly Beach before the reception very close by at Le Kiosk. Congratulations guys!
Liz & Dom – St Phillips – Castlereagh Boutique Hotel
Liz & Dom’s wedding was like something out of Lord of the Rings – maybe it was the church, or maybe it was Dom’s ring… or maybe it was just because these guys were just so super excited about being married it all seemed like a wonderful fairy tale! The ceremony was at St Phillips Anglican Church which is actually Australia’s oldest church site where the first Christian service was held in 1788. It’s on York Street just as you get on/off the Harbour Bridge so right in the heart of Sydney’s CBD. The current church was built in 1856 and has very similar architecture to St Mark’s in Darling…
Larissa & Matt – Darook Park Wedding Cronulla – Sea Level
Larissa and Matt were married at a secluded spot on the beach at Darook Park in Cronulla. It was a gorgeous sunny day and the ceremony at Darook felt like a million miles away on a deserted island! It’s such a private area you really have the whole place to yourself. Larissa and Matt clearly had a ball and we got some great photos – the shots in the last sun of the day on Cronulla Beach are awesome! The reception was at Sea Level right on the beach front in Cronulla and this venue is well worth a visit for lunch or dinner. Jess Berg did a great job…
Tyrilly & Daniel – St Joseph’s Edgecliff – Martin Place – Stamford Double Bay
Another very hot one in Sydney as the mercury hit 42 degrees, phew! Tyrilly & Daniel were married at St Joseph’s in Edgecliff and we did location shots in Martin Place and McKell Park. The photos look amazing and it was a real pleasure to hang out with these guys for the day! The reception was at the Stamford Hotel in Double Bay, a great spot with some lovely classic feel. Also at the wedding was Edgar from Abraham Joffe Videography. I’ve worked with Edgar a couple of times and he’s always very professional and easy going. A lot of people ask me about how the videographers work in with…
Libby & Fraser – St Vincent’s Potts Point – RMYC Point Piper
Libby & Fraser were married on a hot hot hot Sydney summers day…. I seriously think we nearly melted inside the church! Phew. It all started with preparation photos at the Stamford in Double Bay – hands down one of the best places for getting ready. The ceremony was at St Vincent’s College in Potts Point and the reception at the Royal Motor Yacht Club in Point Piper. Congrats guys!
Anouska & Darren – Tea Room Gunners Barracks
We’ve had some wild weather in Sydney so far in 2009 and Anouska and Darren had to contend with a huge storm that brought high winds and heaps of rain on their wedding day. However, the Gunners Barracks has a great courtyard area that is sheltered from the wind so everything went ahead just fine. It was a really beautiful ceremony with plenty of tears and laughter….. and the emotion continued right through the night. A wonderful day and some crazy dancing at the end!
Tonia & Rob – Freshwater View Reserve
Tonia and Rob were married at Freshwater View Reserve and the reception was at Freshwater Surf Club
Jo & Chris – Cosmo Bride
Jo & Chris featured in the latest Cosmo Bride magazine!
Maria & John
Maria & John were married at St Andrew’s Greek Orthodox Church in Redfern, a really lovely church where I have photographed a number of weddings. We did location shots at Sydney University – a classic spot with beautiful old stone and high archways to work with. The photos we got were fantastic and the afternoon was finished off at Banjo Paterson’s Cottage. Congratulations guys!
Laura & Michael – McKell Park – Clovelly Surf Club
With rain and storms hitting Sydney all morning, Laura & Michael must have had some nervous moments before their outdoor ceremony at McKell Park…. but the clouds parted right on cue and there was sunshine until the reception kicked off and an impressive storm front rolled through! It was a lovely wedding, starting with preparation photos at the Stamford in Double Bay, location shots at Centennial Park, and an awesome reception at the Clovelly Surf Club. The bridal party were a bunch of characters and the speeches that night were classic. Congratulations and thanks for a great day guys!
Tara & Pete
A recent wedding at Avoca Beach
April & Scott – Taronga Zoo
Another fabulous wedding at Taronga Zoo. April and Scott had their ceremony outside in the gazebo - a great spot where guests can mingle & have drinks afterwards. We did location shots around the Zoo and at Bradley's Head before an awesome night full of dancing (the thriller moves were classic)... and it all ended with a mad scramble for the bouquet.
Rebecca & Jared – St Patricks Manly – Taronga Zoo
Rebecca and Jared were married last year in the beautiful Cerretti Chapel up at St Patrick’s College in Manly. It was a stunning day, loads of fun, and the harbour cruise from Manly Wharf to Taronga Zoo for the reception was a big highlight. Congratulations to you guys for a wonderful day!
Vicki & Ben – Tea Room Gunners’ Barracks
Vicki & Ben were married at one of my favourite venues – the Tea Room at the Gunner’s Barracks. It’s a fantastic location with options to hold a ceremony on the terrace lawn or in the courtyard….or even inside on a wet day. There are some great photo locations and the views over Sydney Harbour are amazing! It was a really nice day and we got some great shots, so well done and congratulations guys!
Catherine & Nathan
Catherine & Nathan were married at St Joseph’s College in early October, we did location photos around Hyde Park and the QVB, and the reception was at the QVB Tea Rooms. We got some great shots – it was very hard for me to choose just a few for this post!
