Photogaphy from Cass + Joel’s Daylesford Convent Wedding

Well I know it’s been another long break between drinks over here on the blog but the photos from Joel and Cass’s wedding are well worth the wait!! Today I’m only posting pictures from Cass’s preparations, there’s too many beautiful moments to post them all in one day.

Cass and Joel’s Wedding was at the Daylesford Convent, Cass and her bridesmaids all stayed at the White House in daylesford a gorgeous place to stay. The owners have gone to considerable efforts to style this place just perfectly, it’s fully decked out in old rustic, retro and industrial wares.

Ang and I had a great morning hanging out with the bridal party, photographing away while they casually prepared for the day ahead. All the girls were so relaxed, even as last minute seating chart problems arose Cass was unflappable and calm :) High country cattle sale overnight

I’ll  be posting  photos from the ceremony at the Daylesford Convent soon so be sure to check back.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kashi + John’s Hindu Wedding Ceremony

Well, its been quite a while since my last blog post! Things have been pretty busy for me of late and the blog has been somewhat neglected. I’ll sit down one day soon and fill you in on all that’s been going on, but today I really wanna share a recent wedding with you all.

A little while a ago now I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Kashi and John’s wedding celebrations. Their Melbourne festivities were spread over two days. Friday, Kashi’s father hosted their Hindu Wedding Ceremony. It was a small intimate celebration in his beautiful front yard in Kew. The rich green foliage from our wet winter mixed with the warm reds and oranges topped off by the glow of the afternoon sun made my job capturing the whole thing pretty damn fun! Keeping with traditions the Hindu Ceremony Incorperated Kashi’s parents, with her dad, Max playing a big part, he even washed John’s feet :)

It was a beautiful ceremony that ran very smoothly, especially seeing as Kashi and John hadn’t gone through a rehearsal. Their love for each other, their enthusiasm and real, genuine personalities shone through during the whole evening.


The first 15 minutes or so was all about John

 

finally Kashi was able to make her entrance and it was well worth the wait!

 

 

As always comments are appreciated – let John and Kashi know how spectacular they are!

 

Soon I’ll post some stuff from Kashi and John’s “western” Ceremony, so stay tuned.

Great wedding photography venues – Emu Bottom Homestead, Sunbury

I recently travelled up to Sunbury to check out a couple of great Wedding venues and hunt for great photo opportunities. The first place I visited certainly lived up to it’s reputation – Emu Bottom Homestead is a fantastic place to get married and very photogenic.

There are a number of old sheds on the property that provide great backdrops for your Wedding photography. The textures and colours of the old rusting roofs and stone walls, juxtaposed with the natural colours from the local gum trees provide interesting contrast. Throw in a few homestead style wooden fences, some old retired farming equipment and you are all set for your Australian Homestead Wedding!

If you’re looking for a venue with a country feel that’s not too far from Melbourne you really should check out the Emu Bottom.
