Shrek and his princess, Elyse were a load of laughs last Saturday when they tied the knot at the gorgeous property, Loxley on Bellbird Hill at the foot of the Blue Mountains. The temperature was 20 degrees, the sun was out, Elyse and her bridesmaids were ready on time, the boys were ready, everything was perfect! I was… amused when Elyse giggled with nerves throughout the ceremony, she was so excited! Elyse and Shrek’s little girl Eden was very well behaved the entire day and when it came to the big group shot and everyone had to put their hands in the air, Eden raised hers – not bad for a baby! The service from the staff at Loxley was excellent as well as the food, I highly recommend it!

I met Charlie and Jenni when they attended Sabrina and Phil’s Wedding in Sydney in November last year and I was so excited to hear they live in Finland. They recommended me for Nina and Timo’s wedding (blog post coming soon) in Hämeenlinna, Finland that I just photographed on July 10. We met up the day before the wedding to have a mini-tour of their city, Tampere and also to get some pics of their new family – 5 month old Eliel! What a cute family! As you can see, Charlie and Eliel are big Everton supporters. Thanks for everything, you are such a lovely little family and I wish you the best with your new home and I look forward to seeing Eliel grow up on Facebook and hopefully in person

Elyse and Shrek are getting married in August but they have already expanded their family with little Eden (aka lil Cheeky Chops) 9 weeks ago so the engagement session became some fun and relaxed family photos in the back room where the winter sun warmed us. FYI Shrek is his nickname

Two engagement sessions with doggies in the one weekend – how spoilt am I! Zoe and Jessie are very active dogs and love the water so this session was a little more active and crazy! Laura and Mark love their cattle dogs and I can see why – they make a great little family Sirius Cove was a gorgeous location with lots of great little doggie families. Enjoy the human and doggie smooches!
