An energetic, inspirational woman, Jasmine Star and her supportive, intelligent and encouraging husband JD, changed the lives of many photographers today. I learnt that I should share more of myself with my clients and also to share more of the incredible experiences I have when enjoying a couple’s wedding day. A special thank you to Cathy Crawley for organising the models, florists, designers and hair and make-up artist and all the other little things that were needed to pull this workshop off!

As wedding photographers we are so privileged to be there for the ‘so in love’ engagement session, the nerves on the wedding day and then through to the relief and excitement that comes with the announcement of becoming husband and wife! Some of these photos were set up by Jasmine and some are just the couple interacting themselves which is the focus of my style – making sure the couple’s personalities are reflected in the images.

Our lovely models were boyfriend and girlfriend, Alana & Karim.

Michelle and Andre’s Wedding was so well planned (by Michelle!) and had incredible detail in the theme which included green orchids and miniature disc balls. The green orchids were everywhere, from the girl’s bouquets to the reception table decorations to the bathrooms! What stood out most on the day was the personalised ceremony where the celebrant talked about the reasons they love each other. There were many tears in my eyes when these were read out, reminding me of my husband and I and some of the crazy reasons we love each other. I am wishing you the very best for your married life!

Kirileigh from Two Strong hearts Celebrations was the celebrant – highly recommended!
