This gorgeous Arbis couple were married on Stacey’s parent’s anniversary. And what a hot anniversary it turned out to be – record temperatures and a blistering 48C (118F). Despite the weather and everyone commenting on it, the bride, groom and their attendants were all positive and reacted to my willingness to keep them energised and happy for the camera! The theme of the wedding included the gorgeous Philipino purple to bring out John’s heritage and the men’s shirts were brought back from The Philippines with gorgeous embroidery. My favourite shot from the day is of the gorgeous bridesmaids gushing over Stacey when she had just gotten into her dress and Stacey just laughing at how emotional they were…awwww

I really did fall in love with this village – just walk down one small alleyway and there are many photo opportunities – so many new things to discover and because it was summer, so much colour witht he gorgeous flowers!

Please note that the bride has asked I do not post any photos showing her face.

Annie and Dan, or what I like to call them now – Dannie (like Brangelina!) had an incredibly relaxed wedding at the Mandalay on Saturday. Everything was very well organised by Annie and Dan was the appreciative husband in his speech. I was touched by Dan’s heartfelt speech to his parents (yes there were tears on my part) and I also laughed at the childhood stories that his sister, Vanessa had to tell! Please enjoy these pics from what seemed like the perfect wedding day (we will ignore the humidity part)!

It was very hot!

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
