Claudia & Jimmy // Nielsen Park travel-themed wedding

April 10, 2014 3:15 pm 10 Comments

I’ve wanted to share Claudia & Jimmy’s wedding for a long time, it’s featured in the latest issue of Real Weddings magazine and I’m so freaking happy to finally have it up in all it’s glory on the bloggy.

Claudia & Jimmy’s love of travel has always been a part of their relationship, even the beginnings of their relationship involved travel. They met in a Post Office in Perth, Claudia was traveling and Jimmy was working there. Claudia had to move back to London and after knowing each other for a week and in a truly whirlwind moment 6 months later Jimmy moved in with Claudia in London! So they knew that they wanted travel to be a theme of their wedding and they wanted it to just be a fun celebration. Having everything from a Calypso band to a piñatas!

Their day was such a wonderful celebration of their love with all their families and friends and I’m so excited to have been a part of it and it was featured in the latest issue of Real Weddings Magazine. Hope you all enjoy!

Kat + Seb // A Clarke Island Wedding

January 1, 2014 4:30 pm 20 Comments

Why hello 2014, you seem to have come along a heck of a lot faster than I was prepared for. But I do have something rather beautiful to start off the year with – Kat & Seb’s intimate Clarke Island wedding.

A lot of times I can tell that I’m going to click with someone right off the bat, and I could tell I’d click with Kat & Seb from the very first email. Kat’s email just exuded such warmth and care, that really extended to their wedding day planning. And then I met them in person and I think I kinda fell in love with them a little bit. Kat rocked up wearing rollers in her hair with a scarf over them, 1950s movie star style, and they were clearly smitten with each other.

We went over all the plans for their day and really, it seemed like the perfect reflection of the two of them. Kat has a sort of old-school beauty that was perfectly complimented by her gorgeous powder blue gown by Sarah Alice Andrews, even the hotel, the QT in Sydney was the perfect choice for a bit of old-school charm (as an aside, the QT hotel is absolutely amazing down to their elevators, which play different songs depending on how many people are in them! That’s the sort of quirky detail I absolutely adore).

And I just realised that this blog post is getting probably a little long, but suffice it to say that everything about Kat & Seb’s day was planned so that it reflected the couple that they are and to make sure that their intimate gathering of family & friends knew that the day was more than just about Kat & Seb, but about all of them coming together.

Claudia & Jimmy // Centennial Park Loved Up Session

December 16, 2013 10:00 am 17 Comments

Two people, one puppy and one crazy excited photographer = a heck of a lot of fun.

Claudia & Jimmy are two of the craziest cats I know and their love story is one heck of a tale (especially the abridged version, which you’ll now hear!). They met at a Post Office in Perth, Jimmy worked there and Claudia was traveling and needed to post some goodies, they started chatting and bam! spent the next 6 days hanging out together until Claudia had to go back to her fair London. Now, you’d think that would be the end of it, but no! After being separated for 6 months, Jimmy moved halfway around the world and moved in with Claudia. The rest is history!

Really, just spending time with them, you know they’re meant to be, they have the sweetest ease about them, and are just so enamored with each other.

I’m so excited to be able to share their Loved Up session on the new bloggy and I can’t wait to share their wedding soon too! It was rather splendiforous!
