Chloe and Tom were married in the Royal Botanic Gardens in Melbourne and we were all watching the skies during the ceremony as showers had been forecast. After the service we just managed to complete our shots as the rain moved in and, along with the bridal party, we hustled over to Docklands where we were due to take a boat to the reception at 3 Station Pier in Port Melbourne. As we took shots of Chloe and Tom in Docklands the sun came out and the wind dropped leaving a beautiful afternoon and we made our way to Port Melbourne aboard the lovely craft you can see in the photos below.  Kim meanwhile chased us around to the reception in the car and arrived just in time to take some shots of the boat arriving. It’s always fun when there is a new element to one of our weddings and now a boat trip is something we can add to our list of...

We met Lisa and Aaran in Fitzroy Gardens in Melbourne for their pre-wedding shoot and their children, Cody and Kiarra, came along as well to burn off some energy running around the park. This was our first proper visit to these gardens and we were delighted to find some lovely locations, especially the hidden pond with it’s benches and bridge. We had a lot of fun with the four of them and Cody and Kiarra were quite happy to play up to the camera whenever asked, hopefully they used up some of that excess...

It had been about a year since we had last met Ebony and Justin so it was great to hear about their plans when we recently caught up with them for their pre-wedding shoot. We met up in Mornington for coffee and, as rain threatened, we headed down to the water to use the beach boxes as a back-drop. When we finished, Justin was nearly called upon to carry Ebony back up the long climb from the beach as Ebony has recently injured an ankle, let’s hope she recovers soon. There will be a lot of walking to do on their wedding day as they are getting married in Emerald Lake...

Another pre-wedding shoot and this time our colleagues Beth and Dave met up with Kristy and Howard in Mordialloc for a wander along the inlet to the beach-side park. As usual for Mordialloc it was a windy day but they were lucky as the sun shone and the shoot was a good practice run for their wedding in a couple of weeks’...

Dorienne and Oran will be having their wedding in the city next month so they asked to have their pre-wedding shoot on a beach. The Middle Brighton beach is always a good choice, the colourful beach boxes are immediately recognisable and we love the riot of colours they provide. It was a bright, sunny day with only a few clouds to help us from squinting all the time but there was a cool breeze and most people on the beach were well wrapped up. Thankfully Dorienne had brought a shawl with her but even this didn’t stop her teeth from chattering! Hopefully this didn’t stop them from enjoying the experience and they proved that they are quite comfortable in front of the camera which makes our work...
