I looooved the bright green colour accents in this wedding. Love love love!

I have a confession to make. Before I met Peta and Matt for the first time, I had a quick peek on Facebook..I know, I know, stalker! Haha! What can I say, when I meet people for the first time I like to know who to look for in case we miss each other.  But seriously, after seeing Peta’s profile I was super excited and crossing my fingers that I could work with them and this shot is pretty much why. Peta, you are gorgeous!

Seeing these two spot each other for the first time was classic. Peta’s whole face lit up when she spotted her groom, and Matt was blinking furiously to hold back tears…I almost got a little teary myself just watching. It’s moment like these that make weddings so special and I really feel privileged to be able to capture it for people.

After the ceremony (and after the downpour which was so conveniently timed!) we spent some time shooting around Adelaide on the way to the reception…

Congrats, Matt & Peta — I hope you guys are enjoying your newfound marital bliss!

I started the day off with the guys getting ready. Being guys, of course they literally took about 10 minutes to jump into their outfits and do their hair, which meant I had plenty of time to shoot some fun portraits. Once we got Blue Steel out of the way they were great models!

Soooo…the house where the guys were getting ready had a trampoline in the backyard! LOVED IT.

Jo had teased me by telling me she didn’t have the traditional white dress, but refused to tell me what it was. By the time I got to the girls’ house my first questions as soon as I stepped inside was, “WHAT COLOUR?!!” Haha! How cool does it look?

Two beautiful bridesmaids…

And of course, the beautiful bride.

The ceremony was originally planned to be outside, but the weather kept threatening to turn nasty so eventually there was an executive decision to move it inside. The overcast day was perfect for photos in the morning, though.

Father of the Bride escorting his daughter down the aisle…I love the look on his face. He was so proud.

The ceremony was so perfect for Jo and Aedan! When I asked what song they were going to walk down the aisle to, Jo just laughed and wouldn’t tell me…turns out it was Run to Paradise. The whole room started giggling! There is something so real and lovely about this relationship – they are truly best friends as well as partners. There’s absolutely nothing pretentious or fake about them.

I almost lost it when Aedan started to recite his vows:

Jo, you’re simply the best.
You’re better than all the rest.
You’re better than anyone.
Anyone I’ve ever met.
I’m stuck on your heart,
I hang on every word you say.
Tear us apart -
baby, I’d rather be dead.

Presenting Mr and Mrs Siebert!

The sun came out just in time for portraits after the ceremony – even though we had to drag the poor bridesmaids out into the cold,  I think it was definitely worth it ;)

I love this one. The story behind is the girls were FREEZING and huddling together for warmth, but the photo is just so cute.

Congratulations guys, you are best friends and a fabulous couple and I feel very lucky to have shared the day with you. Even if I did drive off and desert you before the reception when I was supposed to give you a ride…no hard feelings, right? RIGHT?! ;D

Looks a bit small for a bride, doesn’t it? Tamra wasn’t the only one in white for her wedding — this adorable little thing belongs to their equally adorable 1-year-old daughter, Eden!

While the girls were having their hair and makeup done for them, the boys were indulging in some traditional male pre-wedding bonding: struggling to tie their ties neatly, and fiddling with cufflinks.

They scrub up pretty well!

Looooooove this picture. It reminds me of Sex and the City, haha.

When I pointed the bridal party toward this scruffy, graffitti’d barn, I have a sneaking suspicion they thought I was a bit nuts…but the photos turned out GORGEOUS. I love the contrast of the barn against these beautifully made-up group. That’s right folks, trust your wedding photographer!

Hard to make this group look bad no matter where you put them, to be honest. But still…I’ll take credit for it! ;-)

Tam and Lachie…I had so much fun shooting this wedding. Thanks for letting me have the privilege, and I hope you love the photos as much as I do. (That’s right, even after spending hours staring at them and editing them, I still love them…that’s how you know it must be true love!)
