Wedding Preview - Shaye and Jesse

Date: 24th September 2011
Bride Preparations: The Sebel Kirkton Park, Pokolbin
Groom Preparations: Mecure Hotel, Maitland
Service: St Patricks, Nulkaba
Reception: The Sebel Kirkton Park, Pokolbin

The vineyards always seem to be able to put on a show and the wedding of Shaye and Jesse was no exception. With St Patricks at Nulkaba hosting the service and The Sebel Kirkton Park the reception, this was always going to be a spectacular wedding.

The Bridal Party ensured this was going to be a fantastic day no matter what the location. The weather on the day managed to hold off for some beautiful photos, and with light fading fast Kirkton Park provided some magnificent indoor locations for photos. As always, comments welcome.

Wedding Preview - Nadia and Kane

Date: 25th September 2011
Bride Preparations: Harrigan's Irish Pub Accomodation, Pokolbin
Groom Preparations: Mecure Hunter Valley Gardens, Pokolbin
Service: Hunter Valley Gardens, Pokolbin
Reception: The Barrel Room at Tempus Two, Pokolbin

In the lead up to Nadia and Kane's wedding, storms had blanketed most of the Hunter Valley. The decision was made to go ahead with the outdoor service inside Hunter Valley Gardens and thankfully the weather held off for a beautiful service at the top of the waterfall.

We were not so lucky for the location photos. The rain has set in for the afternoon and with a golf cart to take us around the Gardens for photos, we moved from awnings to rotundas in an attempt to capture some photos. With Nadia, Kane and the entire Bridal Party prepared to brave the weather, what we ended up with was some spectacular photos which I am sure will be a big surprise for anyone who was there on the day. As always, comments welcome.

Wedding Preview - Amber and Ben

Date: 27th August 2011
Bride Preparations: Peppers Anchorage, Port Stephens
Groom Preparations: Private Residence, Medowie
Service: Peppers Anchorage, Port Stephens
Reception: Nelson Bay Bowling Club, Port Stephens
Additional Photo Locations: Birubi Point, Anna Bay

At the beginning of the day, Amber and Ben had some concerns over the weather. There was even a very light shower of rain during their service at Peppers Anchorage. When we started photos at the marina, the clouds stayed overhead and didn't look like breaking at all.

On our way to Anna Bay something amazing was unfolding... one of the most magnificent and dramatic sunsets we had seen for a long time. When we arrived at the beach, we almost ran down to the sand and started taking photos. Below, you can see the result of what happened. As always, comments welcome.

Wedding Preview - Jessica and Grant

Date: 18th June 2011
Bride Preparations: Private Residence, Wallsend
Bride Preparations: Private Residence, Marmong Point
Service: Christ Church Cathedral, Newcastle

Jessica and Grant celebrated their wedding day surrounded by all the style and tradition expected from a Macedonian wedding. With the help of family and friends, who are a big part of traditional celebrations, it looked like Jessica and Grant had a fantastic day and the photos were able to show it.

The service was held at Christ Church Cathedral in Newcastle with the reception at Newcastle City Hall, two of the best venues for weddings in town. Jessica and Grant made time for some night time photographs, which were spectacular given the location and venue where these were taken. As always, comments welcome.
