I love working with other women run businesses, especially when our values and views are so common. My previous eco fashion collaboration can be viewed here. This time it was an eco wedding dress. If you are ever looking for one of kind wedding gown, then Lenka is your girl. Her craftsmanship and attention to detail is just amazing. Stunning jewellery was by one of my favourites Bec Stern – her unique pieces are modern and different. With background in industrial design Bec brings a lot of fresh ideas to her line. Wonderful flowers were by Jodi from Moss and Maple. If you are in the east end, make sure to visit her cute little shop at Neerim road in Murrumbeena. Finally, my other two favourite girls, Holly and Natalie with their styling, hair and make up – could not have done this without them. And Donna, our stunning eco bride – what can i say?! We are all in love with her, she is just a gorgeous girl, inside and out.

It was my absolute honour to capture the special day of Brooke and Shannon – and how can it be any different when you clients look like movie stars? Special mention should go to Archie and Jenson who were no less thrilled than Brooke and Shannon themselves. I just love how they were actively participating in this intimate and emotional celebration of love.

The gorgeous Brooke and Shannon married yesterday in an intimate setting with their closest family and friends. It was my absolute privilege to be there and capture this very special day for them
went to check out the venue with these handsome dudes and their parents and they helped me figure out a few things… can’t wait for THE Big Day 🙂
Whether you have a big celebration of your special day or opt for an intimate ceremony surrounded by family and friends like Erin + Mark, you want to make sure the day is captured in such a way that you can relive the moments by looking at the photos. While the details, decorations and what you wear is important, what’s more valuable is remembering how you felt. And I hope that what I get to capture in my photos will do just that – take you back to those feelings that you experienced on your special day.
This happy couple’s gorgeous kids got to witness their parents exchange the wows – how special must it have been for Ava to see her mum dress up for the occasion! I noticed what a big role Erin + Mark’s niece and nephews played in the event as well – it is always extremely heartwarming when children are included, but to witness so much love between uncle and aunt, and niece and nephews was even more special.
Here are the rest of the favourites from the day.
I met Erin and Mark when I photographed them as a couple. They are such a fun and fun loving people that it is hard not to fall in love with them! So when I was asked to photograph their wedding I got super excited!
Erin and Mark opted for an intimate wedding in the circle of closest family and friends. And I am completely the same way – closest people to celebrate your union is my kind of wedding. But in case with this beautiful couple, their gorgeous kids Ava + Hudson got to witness their mum and dad exchange wows.
Wishing the happy couple wealth of love and happiness together!
I’ve been trying to think of the best way to share my favourite images from this wedding I had an absolute pleasure to document, and I’ve decided to share it bit by bit. So here is part one – getting ready and the first look.
