Firstly our congratulations to Simone and Kon on their recent marriage. They had beautiful weather for their wedding day, with temperatures around the mid to high twenties – a good day for April!  Simone and her bridesmaids got ready at her parents property in Harkaway, before a stretch limo took the bridal party to St Catherine’s Greek Orthodox church in Malvern for the ceremony.

Kon arrived in an awesome white Thunder Bird , which after the ceremony took the newlyweds to a nearby park for some photos, and then on to the reception at The Pier in Port Melbourne.  The venue was ideal for a cocktail style function, with enough space for the guests to relax on couches and a separate area for dancing.

The couple are now off enjoying their honeymoon getting a tan on a beach far far away!  Congrats again to Simone & Kon!

Congratulations to Samantha and Lindsay on their recent marriage!

It was one of those days were the weather changed by the hour – typical Melbourne in April!  The ceremony was held at Hoppers Crossing United Church, and as the weather closed in and any chance of outdoor formal photos long gone, we opted for photos to be taken inside the Church itself.

We then all headed through the rain to the reception.  Ken from Greater Limousines took the newlyweds to the Shell Club, where the reception was being held in its formal room, and the wedding party gathered beneath the beautiful, large rotunda with the rain beyond it, to pop a champagne cork and debate which was the better AFL team – the Bombers or the Cats.  The reception was a grand success and the couple then headed off to spend a week relaxing along some of Victoria’s most beautiful coastal locations.

Congratulations to newlyweds Natassia & Tony.

We photographed their engagement party back in September 2009 and now we came back to both film and photograph their wedding.  The couple married at Weddings by the Lake in Kilsyth,  on a day which started muggy and ended in rain, but which provided enough clear skies for the ceremony to proceed unhindered by such mundane concerns as the weather.

Tony surprised Natassia by arranging a horse-drawn carriage, which took her and her bridesmaids on a 45 minute ride, before bringing them back to the gardens to arrive at the ceremony in style.  Natassia was then preceded down the aisle by the couple’s one year old daughter, who pushed her walker with the rings on their cushion in basket on the front, without a single misstep.

Here are some of our favourite images from the day:

We’ve just completed a pre-wedding “couple’s” shoot with Mia and Ian.  They chose the beach as their location and we hung out for a few hours taking some candid shots as they spent time together.  Apart from the sand in the shoes and the jeans getting a little wet, we had a ball!

Earlier in the year we congratulated Mark and Katie – an entirely different Mark and Katie to your photographers here – on the announcement of their engagement.  Recently, we had the pleasure to photograph and film their official engagement party at the Hotel Barkly.  It was a stunning venue with an outdoor deck framing views of the Palais Theatre and Luna Park, with the beach in the background.  The event was attended by more than two hundred family and friends, and was a resounding success!  Congratulations again to the engaged couple…
