melbourne wedding photographer Qemal & Sarah – Part 1

Wow wow wow!!! Qemal and Sarah are such an awesome couple and their wedding was nothing short of incredible. Seeing 2 people who are so in love and right for each other never ceases to take my breath away, its intoxicating and makes what I do so enjoyable.

Sarah is also the 4th bride from USA/Canada I’ve photographed this year who’s married an Australian!! What is it with Australian men ? But they are the only ones who still live in the States but chose to exchange their vows in Shepparton where Qemal’s family hails from.

With an extended coverage and so many great images to be had at this wedding I’ve broken the blog into 2 parts, the next installment to follow very soon.

Melbourne Greek Wedding Yiota & Sam

I love Greek weddings!

They’re fun, they’re passionate, they’re loud and very energetic. They have traditions and customs dating back centuries. You always seem to get the Great Uncle and Aunt who left their tiny, remote village in Greece or Cyprus, got on a plane for the first time in their lives and flew half way round the world just to be there for your wedding. Sam and Yiota’s wedding had all that and more.

People who have seen me working a wedding know I’m very energetic, I’m always moving, looking, waiting. I regularly get comments like ‘when are you going to slow down’ but this was a 14 hour extravaganza that didn’t let up for one moment and keeping up with the constant flow and energy took everything I had. When everyone starts dancing they don’t sit down, its unrelenting and it goes all night.

Sam and Yiota beamed with love of laser like intensity the whole day, it too, like the dancing, was unrelenting

Thanks so much for having as part of your special day, it was an honour and a pleasure to be there.

A BIG thanks to Meredith O’shea who shot the first 4 images of Sam getting ready.YSsamGR1BWYSsamGR3-BWYSsamGRoldman1BWYSdaboysGRposedYSyiota-civviesYSkidsoncouch1YSfamilypicsYSmum-GRflowerpetals-RINGpanelYSgirlsarmdetailsGRYSsam+balloons2YSyiota-mumGR-BWYSyiotenterpanel2GR-BWYSdanceGR1YSfeetdetailGRYC-TSchuchfrontpanelYS-enterchrchspreadBWYSchurchjoinupYS-churchpanel2YSchurchdetail2panelBYSconfetti1aYiota&Sam-HiRes-CLR514YSpark2YSparkvert1panelYSundermortenbay1
