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!

Pink wedding dresses are in!! Rachael was stunning in her traditional but light pink princess dress! I just loved looking at Mark’s face when he was watching (drooling) her come down the ailse. Thank you to you both and your great bridal party for an awesome day! You may notice Rachael has a thing for gumboots…we did a session in the last few weeks with gumboots, an umbrella and a kayak – you can see it here.
