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.

Melbourne wedding Marnie & Nick

9 February, 2010 – 4:19 pm

I had a call from Marnie early December, heres a paraphrase of that call “We’re getting married in 6 weeks, I’ve been following your blog for a year, I love your work and want you to photograph our wedding”……Now if you love a photographer, trying to book them 6 weeks out is a very risky business but as luck would have it they chose the only Saturday I had free in January but it got me thinking about a couple who operate like that. After meeting them and hearing their story I felt I kinda understood.

Marnie and Nick met through a mutual friend in the south of France in 2002 where they were both living and working at the time.
They were moving in a James Bond like world with Marnie working as personal chef for a ‘Russian Billionaire’ taking her at a moments notice anywhere on the globe catering for him and his glitteratti guests. Nick, a seaman, had a similar clientele driving luxury yachts of the mega rich around the Mediterranean but having now met these 2 Melbournite’s, so far from home, fell in love setting the foundations of this wedding in place.
In 2005 Nick returned to Melbourne to study and further his sea-mans skills. This meant 2 years living apart  indispersed with globe spanning liaisons anywhere from Argentina, The Maldives, Cuba, south of France and….. even Melbourne, anywhere they could meet. In early 2008 Marnie moved back to Melbourne to be with Nick and in her words, “have a life together” it was time for a change.

With 100 of their friends and closet family they tied the knot in a beautiful, simple ceremony at the Royal Melbourne Yacht Squadron in St Kilda, a fitting venue given the nautical theme in their lives. With Marnie now 6 months pregnant the next chapter of their lives is well under way. All the best my friends, it was an honor to be a part of you’re wedding day.

Melbourne wedding photographer helps Haiti

21 January, 2010 – 10:02 pm

Hello Lovelies,

Like all of you I was shocked and saddened by the devastation in Haiti. There was one image on the news website of a boy about 3 or 4 crying being carried away by a rescuer, I couldn’t but help think he was probably now an orphan. Could you think of anything worse to happen a child of that age? So to do my bit I’m donating 10% of the fees for the next wedding booked direct to Red Cross. The donation will be made under the name of the couple booking so get on board, get married, get great photography and help the devastation in Haiti.

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.

Hello Lovelies,

I met Rachel and Mike at last November at Briony and Brendon’s wedding which I photographed.

They in turn decided to book me for their wedding 1 year to the day after I met them.

Together Rachel and Mike are as sweet as a couple can get and as you can see from these images they are seriously in love.

Nothing really left to say after that is there??

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

Hindu wedding Mauritius

26 August, 2009 – 9:36 pm

Hello Lovelies

In the 2nd blog from Spiro and Nadi’s incredibly beautiful wedding ceremonies in Mauritius were looking at the Hindu wedding.

The day before Nadi getting her hands and feet decorated with beautifully detailed henna tattoos.The painstakingly delicate application of the henna paste takes well over an hour with another 2 hours for it to dry, during this time Nadi couldn’t move

The following day is the actual wedding. Its started in the morning with a small ceremony at the family home  to as Prahba described to ‘cleanse them for the their conjugal life’. Here the Priest and close family members bless and anoint the bride and groom with Tumeric paste dabbed on their outfits with dried grass brush. They’re not supposed to see each other and are blessed separately and when bought together sit with their backs to each so as to not see each other.

Late that afternoon we had a photo session at the house. Formal Bollywood style portraits of the Bride and Groom, we all had a lot of fun and it added to the pomp and sense of occasion.

That evening it was the wedding. Its a long service, about 1.5 hours where  the bride and groom for the most part sit in 2 chairs on a low stage surrounded by various offerings and objects whilst the priest and family members preform many rituals and blessings. It was then a vegetarian feast followed by, you guessed it….more dancing….yeahhh.
