I’ve dodged more rain on weddings this season than ever before, and Krystal and Sean’s was no exception.  We managed to get through the bride and groom’s prep shots, bridal party photos, the ceremony, and then just as we took the group photo afterwards it started to fall, and everyone had just enough time to enter the reception venue before it came down hard.  I know rain on your wedding day is a good omen, and I also like to think that it falling at just the right time (ie, when it doesn’t affect the photos!) reflects how lucky the couple are going to be in life.  Sean and Krystal, I already know that you are wonderfully in love – I hope you are going to be just as lucky in life!  xo

A huge thanks to the very talented Laura Cioccia who came along to help me cover the bridal party photos before the ceremony.  Love your work Laura!

Krystal is as lovely as she is beautiful, which made spending the day with her so much fun.  We took her getting ready shots at her parents’ home which I always find adds an extra personal touch to the photos, as well as allowing for some lovely moments like the one of her dad looking on as she gets ready below, one of my favourites from their day.

There were two words that kept coming to mind while taking shots of Sean getting ready:  Don. Draper.  For those of you that watch Mad Men, you’ll understand.  For those that aren’t familiar with the TV series, firstly, please go and start watching it now!  Secondly, think slick suit, dapper looks and a smile to make you swoon.  His groomsmen scrubbed up damn fine too!

Krystal and Sean opted to have their bridal party photos before their ceremony so we started with a First Look at the Willows where they were going to be married a few hours later.  I absolutely love the moments we were able to capture during these first minutes, they show clearly how much in love these two are.  A huge thanks again to Laura for helping me capture this part of Sean and Krystal’s day perfectly!

Krystal and Sean currently live in Queensland where the beach plays a large part in their lives so the Port Melbourne foreshore was our first stop for more bridal party photos.

Krystal and Sean’s other request was to include some iconic Melbourne landmarks, so we also made stops at Flinders St Station and Alexandra Gardens where we could get some great shots of the city. And them of course!

And then it was back to the Willows to get married!  Even though they had just spent a couple of hours together, the excitement and nerves for both Krystal and Sean were still visible …

What’s a wedding without a little bit of fun from the bridal party …

And with the formalities over, it was time to move inside and have a drink to celebrate!
