Engagements ~ Arthavelina & Gian

Good morning Sydney!

Here’s an early blogpost to begin a big day ahead! My best friend ‘Artha’ is getting married today and I can’t be more excited! I have the privilege to be their wedding photographer so am having my fingers crossed for one beautiful day despite the weather forecasts afternoon thunderstorms eek! We’re all praying :)

More on the wedding later!

Just a month ago I did some Pre-wed photos for them which I’d love to share!

Artha & Gian have shared their love for food together as long as I can remember, hence the theme of their shoot was ‘Love, Friendship, Food’

The first set was beautifully styled by Artha herself :)

Gian is a pro at ‘Words with Friends’ !

‘Love, Friendship, Food’ – their ring bowl for the wedding; which was ordered from Etsy!

Time to get ready !

Happy Wedding Day A & G!

Just Teasing ~

Dearest friends,

I hope you’ve all had just as pleasant of a weekend as I had. It probably is the first weekend since Spring arrived in town that I could walk out in my Spring-wear, and wish that the weather could be as beautiful as today, everyday!

This weekend has been the first semi-lazy weekend in a long, long while. Past weekends I’ve had to get around to doing a million things, get to a million places at certain times/deadlines. Was stressful alright. I still had to get work done this weekend but I was able to do it at my own pace without having to try multitask.

I’m in a good mood today, (although a bit sleep deprived from late nights) after going for Sunday lunch and afternoon drive with my partner. We went for a walk in a national park North of Sydney and soaked in some golden light, truly enjoying every minute! I hope to make this a weekend/fortnightly thing for us; going for long walks in parks, beaches etc. It’s good to have a little get away from the computer. (Yup, sadly most of the stuff I do (and enjoy) are between the Macbook and I)

So, to wrap up this weekend, I’d like to share a teaser for what’s coming next on the blog.

Will introduce you to this loving couple later in the week :)

Lots of Love,

Clarissa

Weddings ~ Katrina & Martin

The love story of today’s couple is an inspiring one; A relationship that was almost separated by distance, between countries (America and Australia), but all it took was commitment from both sides and eventually something beautiful blossomed.

Today, I present to you Katrina and Martin’s wedding.

That Saturday was forecasted to rain, but the weather remained beautiful throughout, Sydney weather sucks does it not?

The day began with getting ready at Katrina’s family home, which housed a great collection of her parent’s keepsakes from over the years and beautiful flower arrangements put together by Katrina’s mother.

Katrina’s beautiful Salvatore Feregamo flats – totally loving the grey/purple colour!

She got her wedding gown custom made, the top made from beautiful French chantilly lace. I love the soft boat neckline created by the lace (you will see what I mean below!)

The wedding reception too place at Athol Hall in Mosman. The place was beautifully made over by Form over Function, who took care of every little detail!

Katrina put together a song for Martin which was based on the ‘Yellow Submarine’ tune. So much fun and catchy! I can still replay the song in my head right now :P

Party! Party! Party!

We stayed till the end of the wedding and saw the newly weds leave in ‘style’ ;)

Was so fortunate to be part of another beautiful, heartfelt wedding, thank you to Bailie for asking me along!
