Hunter Valley Wedding- Bec & Tim

Bec & Tim organized their entire wedding from London,not seeing their venue or meeting with vendors until the week before! It takes a great leap of faith to do that! I don't think they disappointed with anything except the threatening weather,which although freezing cold,did not rain! Tanya and Deena from www.chicartistry.com.au did an amazing job with hair and make up,the girls looked stunning. The wedding was at  Wandin Valley Estate in the Hunter Valley in the gorgeous 1930's style Ruby Pavillion. Bec's amazing dress was made of delicate layers of cream French Chantilly lace all the way from Paris, and the boys were very smart and handsome in navy suits.

The Bad Blogger

Hi, my name is Julie and I am a BAD BLOGGER! I haven't posted since August. I have meant to but just didn't find the time! So, starting a new year I shall endeavor to keep up with regular postings and do a little catch up on some of last spring's weddings as there were some awfully pretty ones and spectacular skies! Here's a little recap of all the shoots I did last year-just one shot from each...

Hunter Valley Wedding Photography-Catherine & Phil

Catherine and Phil were married at the Sebel Kirkton Park in the beautiful Hunter Valley. What a gorgeous venue with stunning rooms to get ready in, picturesque grounds for the ceremony, and although there are plenty of great spots for photo opportunities, we decided to go to one of my favourite places for the bridal party shoot, Hanging Tree Winery. What a sunset! Then back to the Sebel for an elegant black & white themed reception. Catherine made a stunning bride in a custom made lace gown by Caritas Yu and I just loved the classic bridesmaid's dresses in black with vintage cream lace and ribbon detail! Catherine's mum made the amazing cake-yay Mum!

Bek & Tim's Wedding-Hunter Valley NSW

I've been doing this long enough to know what kind of wedding it's going to be within minutes of walking into the bride's house. I hadn't been at Bek's for more than 5 minutes and we had champagne corks popped,bridesmaids breaking down in tears of joy and laughter rolling through the house-this was going to be a cracker! We had such a fun day with these guys, what a great bunch of people they chose for their bridal party! We were welcomed and treated like guests and friends from beginning to end. There was so much love in the air it was hard not to get caught up in it-I admit it, I got teary in the Chapel! Grant earnt himself the nickname of "the sniper" by shooting from the bushes-I may just get him a camo hat! By sunset we had the most glorious light my heart was pounding with excitement-you know there's something special in your camera :)
