Melbourne City wedding – Raewyn & Craig

20 February, 2010 – 10:19 am

Raewyn and Craig met at a school party in 2001 where they were introduced by mutual friends. Despite having spent much of their childhood in the same area they didn’t meet till this fateful night and it was love at first sight.

The following year Craig and Raewyn shacked up and have been living together ever since then On Christmas day 2007, under their Christmas tree, amongst the other presents, Craig asked Raewyn to marry him, Merry Xmas!

Their wedding was a perfect reflection of them. Raewyn’s stunning dress from the very talented Izaro Haute Couture,  the service was held in the foyer of 333 Collins St, so classical and elegant with its ornate high domed ceiling. The reception was at Sketch in Docklands , funky, modern and walking distance home. What more can you ask for?

All the best for your continuing journey together and thanks for entrusting me with capturing your wedding, it was an honour and a pleasure.

Jill and Nick’s engagement shoot

20 October, 2009 – 8:28 pm

Hello lovelies,

Some images from Jill and Nick’s beautiful engagement shoot. We had a ball shooting around The Convent and Collingwood Childrens Farm.

Nick met Jill, a native American while on holiday in New York where Jill was living in April 2008. It was love! Following that a long distance relationship

ensued until Nick in Janurary this year, down on one knee, wearing snow shoes in the Vermont winter proposed to Jill.

A few months later Jill moved to Melbourne to be with Nick and are now planning the first of their 2 weddings which will be in Melbourne, can’t wait.

Videography: C2 video

The final chapter in Nadi and Spiro’s incredible wedding adventures took place in Melbourne with their Greek Orthodox wedding in Carlton and reception at Quat Quatta in Ripponlea.

It had been a long month for the bride and groom Nadi and Spiro, 2 weeks of non stop family, parties and 2 weddings in Mauritius that then landed them back in Melbourne less than a week before their Melbourne Greek celebration. It was a beautiful passionate wedding as all their Mauritian ceremonies had been but As Nadi said with a sigh at the end of the night that concluded nearly a month of family and marriage commitments “I’m now just looking forward to getting on with married life”.

All the best guys, its been such a privilidge to share and document this part of your journey. I’m sure your new puppy and any kids to follow will blessed with a loving , caring family life.

Beach destination wedding Mauritius

5 September, 2009 – 1:10 pm

Hello Lovelies,

The final chapter in our Mauritian adventure was dusk shoot on the beach at Flic En Flac on the beach in front of the Hilton.

Despite spending a week with Nadi and Spiro this was the only shoot we did unemcumbered by their frantic schedule of wedding and family commitments.

The weather for most of the week had been dull and overcasts but like the parting of the Red Sea the clouds that had graced the Mauritian skies for the majority of our week there cleared for some beautiful late afternoon  light and a stunning sunset. We had a lot of fun and when the sun had fully set I packed my cameras, cleared the sand from my shoes then jumped in a cab straight to the airport just in time for my flight back to Australia.

What a week!

Persian wedding Mauritius

3 September, 2009 – 1:40 pm

Hello Lovelies,

The final ceremony in Nadi and Spiro’s Mauritian wedding was the Persian wedding held at the Hilton in Flic En Flac on the picturesque west coast of the island.

The evening started at dusk with a cocktail party on the beach then moved inside for the ceremony. The wedding itself was a beautifully detailed ceremony punctuated with great passion, some incredibly moving speeches and much dancing and joy.

The ceremonial area where Nadi and Spiro sat most of the night looking like royalty, was dressed with beautiful baubles and decorations bought from Iran by family members especially for the wedding. It was stunning and profound and a fitting end to a long, passionate week

Destination wedding Mauritius – The parties

24 August, 2009 – 10:07 pm

Its starting to feel an eternity ago but I spent the first week of August in Mautitius for the wedding of Nadi and Spiro and what a week it was.

Nadi is Mauritian, her father, Arvind is Indian/hindu  and mother, Havva of Iraian/muslim, husband Spiro is…you guessed it… good Australian/Greek boy, what a mix!

Even by Mauritian standards this wedding was big, 2 big parties before the first official ceremony being the Hindu wedding, another party the night after that then the final ceremony, a Persian wedding

honouring the hertiage of both Nadi’s parents.

Nadi’s Parents house was a buzz for the entire week. With around 20 guests staying including a large contingent of Havva’ family from Iran and elsewhere many who hadn’t

seen each other for nearly a decade.

It was electric, non stop dancing and singing, a house truly full of love and joy, I felt so honoured to be a part of it and to able to contribute by documenting a major chapter of their families story.

Coming soon The Hindu wedding.

Nadi and Spiro’s Melbourne engagement shoot

16 July, 2009 – 11:52 am

Hello lovelies,

 

Yes, its been a bit of a while since my last blog. School holidays has meant 3 weeks of  pitched battles with my son’s for control of the computers and driving them places. 

 

Back to adult life. I did Nadi and Spiro’s engagement shoot last and as you can see we had a lot of fun. Its also the first engagement shoot for me. I’ve now made them a part of all my packages, besides being a lot of fun its a great way to connect with a couple before their wedding.

 

Nadi and Spiro’s wedding is a testemant to multicultral Australia and why I love weddings so much.Nadi comes from an Mauritiun family of Indian heritage. She and younger sister, Nagma both doctors now live in Australia and Spiro……….. you guessed it……. of Greek heritage met in Adelaide 3 years ago. Couples of different ethnic or religious backgrounds can have a challenge in having a wedding that the incorporates and respects both backgrounds. Nadi and Spiro have solved this by having 2 weddings. The first in Mauritius, a Indian-Muslim ceremony that lasts for 3 days then 3 weeks later a Greek Orthodox ceremony here in Melbourne.

 

I am fortunate to be photographing both weddings, I can’t tell you how excited I am!!
