On Saturday I had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of one of my fav couples ever Dina & Sasha. You may remember them from their e-shoot http://naomivphotographyblog.com.au/?p=4009 We had such fun on their e-shoot and their wedding day was no exception. We started the morning off at Dina’s house and was welcomed by her beautiful family as if they had known us forever. Dina’s brother was here from Germany with his wife (who was the bridesmaid) and his 4 GORGEOUS boys. Kylie spent the morning with Sasha and his family and I believe the reception there was also very welcoming.
The wedding was held at New Farm Park which I have to say is a beautiful location with gorgeous light. It was a very heartfelt service shared by family and friends who travelled from overseas and Melbourne to attend. After the service Dina and Sasha really wanted to go to the Woolsheds for their formal shoot – to our surprise there was a MASSIVE festival going on there with NO parking to be found – we eventually found parking and the afternoon was filled with surprises as you will see below. We were going to go to Kangaroo Cliffs however the bridal party – in typical European style – decided a coffee shop would be a great setting for the rest of their shoot and I think it was just what they all needed to warm them up as it was a freezing afternoon.
After coffee we headed down the Gold Coast to George’s on Paragon at Hope Island for their reception and all I can say is OMG – I have never witnessed such an amazing 30 mins into a reception – there was dancing and singing and oh so much love in the room! I was so full of emotion that I even cried – yep I am the world’s biggest cry baby.
I have decided that going forward I am not going to do my mammoth wedding blog posts until after my couples have seen their images with me. I know it is exciting to see a blog post a few days after the wedding however I want to be with them when they get to see their photos for the first time and witness the joy my photos give them! However…… I will still do a sneak peak but it will be a very small sneak peak! I have chosen images which really describe the day – full of love, laughs and unexpected moments! Oh and how funny is the last photo – now I know why it is called the Woolsheds lol.
I also want to say thank you to Kylie & Susan for assisting on the day! Can’t wait to share some of Kylie’s photos of Sasha and his family & friends!
{Dina and Sasha – what can I say – you guys know how much I adore you and I really do know that we will be friends for many many years. Your families are both beautiful and we thank them for inviting us in to their lives if only for one day. Hope you are having a wonderful time with your family and will be in touch soon xx}
Till next time
