Alison was very relaxed the morning of the wedding just enjoying the whole experience of being a bride and this continued throughout the day despite the rainy ceremony. I am very lucky to have clients who are happy to accept the day as it comes. They will not let the weather ruin their day and at the beginning of the reception Alison said to me: “Gemma, thanks for everything, we have had the best day so you just go off and do what you do best, capture those candid moments.”

Ceremony: Camellia Gardens, Caringbah.

Reception: Summersalt Restaurant, Cronulla.

When Mel contacted me about her wedding 4 months ago and told me a few details, I was positively drooling! A vintage picture theatre ceremony, an insanely gorgeous dress and friends coming from Norway and Denmark. For those who know me well, know I love Scandinavia! Mel’s dad is a songwriter and he wrote them a special song for the day and Mel asked all the female guests to bring a flower and a bouquet was made up for her before the ceremony. The first dance was on the beach and we were lucky enough to hang out with one of the lifeguards. Mel and Kai are such a relaxed and romantic couple and I felt very privileged to capture their memories for them. I love it when I cry at weddings

I drove up the day before the wedding to check out the venues and get some shots of the theatre that I knew wouldn’t be possible on the day. Please enjoy the photos from this beautifully unique wedding.

My first wedding of the year was spent with the lovely Jenner and Michael at Shelly Beach, Manly. What a special day for this UK couple, after 14 years together and two beautiful little girls, Jess and Bella. The guest list was no more than 10 people. I was lucky enough to have a friend, Kat, help me out at the wedding – thank you so much Kat, you were a lifesaver!!

Back to the lovely couple, the day was perfectly clear and very hot…we did capture an image of Michael’s back entirely covered in sweat! The beach was too busy so it was organised to have the wedding ceremony on the headland overlooking Shelly Beach which was great – very pretty! Anyway, I will let the images speak for themselves.

If you happen to be family or friends of the bride and groom I will be uploading a password-protected gallery in the next few days so you can order prints and/or high resolution files that can be emailed to you. Congrats Jenner and Michael – you made us all cry tears of joy
