Engaged ~ Wendy & Jason

May 9, 2012

Wendy and I are both foodies, we both own food blogs which is exactly how we knew each other. I still remember the moment when she tweeted her sweet proposal from her beloved, Jason, which just felt like yesterday! At our first photographer & client meeting, not only did we talk about their wedding but spent a lot of the time sharing where our favourite eats were! Food seems to be a mutual interest between us and a lot of our clients <3

We wanted to have Macarons featured in the shoot so we came up with ways of including them; hearts on macarons! and macaron-pops! We were sooo lucky that MakMak was kind enough to take up this custom order! Might I add their macarons are delicious! :)

Can’t wait to see Wendy walk down the aisle and officially tie the knot with Jason! Just 3 days to go!

Weddings ~ Lily & Paul

May 3, 2012

After 10 years of dating, Lily & Paul tied the knot back in February. It was an exciting day just watching the two families come together and practising their respective wedding customs. Lily is Chinese so we had the chinese styled tea ceremony for her family and later on changed to the Vietnamese dress for the vietnamese styled tea ceremony for Paul’s side. I’ve always loved witnessing different cultural wedding traditions and always so colourful to photograph! This all happened in the morning, and the civil marriage ceremony took place at Our Lady of Mount Carmel.

All the official parts of the day had been ticked off, so we spent the few hours before reception capturing moments between the newly weds in a nearby park. We were so blessed with beautiful weather, not a single drop of rain that day!… well it did pour down during/after the reception but it was the least of our worries then! :)

The night was spent partying away with about 300 guests at Crystal Palace in Canley Heights.

Thank you Lily & Paul for having us photograph your big day!

Engaged ~ Heather & Matthew

Apr 26, 2012

Couldn’t end the day any sweeter with Heather & Matthew’s engagement shoot one warm March afternoon. We had a little tea party at Lavender bay with cupcakes, classic novels and comics (for Matt!) followed by some late afternoon fun at Luna Park. Fast forward a month-and-a-bit later we are already counting down the hours till their wedding day! In less than 24 hours!

See you soon Heather & Matthew! :)
