Isn’t my beautiful friend Tegan gorgeous!!! She has always had so much style and I just loved what she did to make these photos her own. And we must not forget to mention her handsome fiance Mark – one of the nicest guys you will ever come across! Flowers are from Pearsons florist and Tegan decorated them herself. Looking forward to the wedding in March!!

Anna Jarske and I had the privilege of photographing Päivi and Jukka’s Wedding which took place at the famous landmark, Helsinki’s Lutheran Cathedral. After trying to avoid the tourists (it was a beautiful summer’s day) we were able to take some photos around this spectacular building. The reception was held at Katajanokan Kasino and had a lovely outdoor entertaining area and cosy room for dining. All the guests were in great spirits, partying inside and outside as the night progressed. Päivi’s beautiful dress was made by Swedish company, Nixa. If you are interested in seeing their engagement session we photographed before the wedding day please visit my blog post here.

There were tears. Lots of tears. And that was just from me! Amy and Roth, thank you for inviting me to capture your day. You truly made me feel part of the family and I was very touched by your ceremony and also your speeches. I wish you all the best for your long and happy marriage and I look forward to flying down again so we can do your ‘trash/love the dress’ session. Would love to also go back to Adelaide for more weddings – I am so in love with Hahndorf and the Adelaide Hills!  And the rocky beaches are great too!

Ceremony was at Craigmore Church, photos at Uleybury Winery and the reception was at Gumeracha Town Hall. The cars, a convertible BMW and Mini Coopers were provided by Roth’s brother who works for BMW – nice!

I had photographed a total of 5 weddings before 2009 and that was over 2 years. This year I had the privilege of photographing 26 weddings and being able to go full-time with my business in June this year. Thank you to all my clients who made 2009 an incredibly overwhelmingly awesome year for me! I have been shooting professionally for 7 years but now I can say I do it for a living and I am still as passionate about it as I was 7 years ago!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I look forward to an incredible 2010 with weddings booked in France, Finland, Adelaide, the Hunter Valley, Central Coast and Camelot in Camden (and Sydney too hehe).

South Coast farm wedding – I loved these armchairs and told them to bring them out into the field. They were so relaxed and didn’t want to move!

More with the chairs. I think with regards to location this was my favourite wedding for 2009!! I could never choose a favourite couple, I love them all
