After a super-rainy start to the year like we’ve had, the golden sunshine that lit Faith and Heath’s glorious wedding day felt heaven-sent. It bathed the girls suite at Victoria’s at Ewingsdale in a soft, elegant glow to match the luxurious rooms. It sent rainbows over Eureka Uniting Church’s pews and Faith and Heath’s guests through the beautiful stained glass windows. Then it sank behind the hills in a blaze of red and gold just in time for us to grab some spectacular images at the Byron Bay lighthouse. It felt like fate to have such a perfect day… for such a perfect day.

Here is Faith and Heath’s perfect, sunny wedding day.

Faith and her girls got ready at Victoria’s at Ewingsdale. They made their bouquets themselves.

There’s something extra-beautiful about photographing the wedding of a friend. I’ve known Helena (or Noon, as she will always be to me) since we were both eleven years old. It was incredible to see her marry her dream man and help them and their family remember their beautiful day!

Helena and Damian are what I like to call a Disney couple. They are perfect together. Helena absolutely adores Damian. Damien is completely besotted by Helena, and he loves surprising her with the most romantic things – like a smoke-covered dance floor for the first dance as husband and wife (which was a little last minute and required some kitchen-sink dry ice experimentation that morning). Best of all, they’re both completely in awe of their gorgeous son Jonathan. There is so much love in their little family, and it’s obvious at a glance.

Take a look and tell me if you can see it too; the air of Disney one-true-love that this couple’s joy radiates. Congratulations, my beautiful friends!

Ceremony and reception venue: The Abbey Cobaki

It’s true what they say about pregancy giving already-beautiful women a radiant glow. Just check out Carlie in the shots below if you want proof. Glowing! Positively iridescent!
This was a very special shoot for me because we held it on my partner’s parents property in Uki, nestled in the hills surrounding Mt. Warning. Shooting there was definitely a dream come true, and I’m happy to report that baby Oliver was welcomed to the world safe and sound! Congratulations, Carlie and Blake!
