Weddings ~ Julia & Jonathan

Jan 13, 2012

I had the pleasure of second shooting Julia & Jonathan’s wedding for Bailie in early December, which was also my 2nd last wedding of 2011.

Julia & Jonathan’s wedding was the kind of wedding that I love being part of, a laid back yet intimate celebration with close family and friends where at the end of the day it felt as though I celebrated a friend’s wedding. I also found myself falling in love with the wedding styling; lots of florals and a hint of vintage. I especially loved the colour theme! Soft pinks, yellows, oranges, greens and whites appeared in the invites, menus, bouquets and floral arrangements throughout the day, which I reckon is a really fresh colour combination for a spring/summer wedding. Also not forgetting to mention how beautiful the scent was! Peonies and David Austen! lovee’em! Julia and Jonathan both had an appreciation for historic buildings and Gunners Barracks is a special place to their family, so it was the perfect ceremony and reception venue choice! Thank God for the beautiful weather!

I loveddd the design of their wedding invite, I’ve got a thing for floral illustrations lately – if you havent noticed from my recent logo rebranding :)
