Not too long ago now, Kyle and Kelly were married at the beautiful Friday creek retreat… It is such a romantic place to marry. It had special meaning to this beautiful couple. If I have this correct, Kyle’s grandparents established this incredible retreat. If your visiting Coffs Harbour its certainly worth checking if they have any cabins available.

Both Mike and I attended Kyle and Kelly wedding. We love working together and think that the couple get a little more of a complete coverage. Mike attended the boys for a couple of hours prior to the ceremony why I was able to spend time with Kelly and her girls preparing for the big day. The girls were a lot of fun. Such a privilege to be able to capture the memories of such a special part of the day.

The ceremony was held overlooking the pond on the lower grassland area of the retreat. It was a beautiful outlook and special that they had a live singer play the music for the ceremony. Ben Francis did a wonderful job. It was rather romantic witnessing Kyle and Kelly exchange vows at such a beautiful location.
Family photos followed at the retreat and then we headed off to some locations for photos.

The reception was held at the Coffs Harbour surf club. The food was awesome, the entertainment wonderful.

Thank you Kyle and Kelly for sharing your special day with us. We both had an amazing time. Here are just a few images from the day. We will post some more on facebook shortly!!

A little while ago now we spent the day with Kieren and Chris at their gorgeous Aanuka Beach Resort Wedding. It was such a beautiful day.

I started my day with the boys who were getting ready on the southern side of Aanuka Beach resort. The boys were organised thanks to Chris Mum who was super sweet. With Kieren’s help they had the boys organised.
After a few photos with the boys I then headed over to the girls who were getting ready a little closer to reception.
The girls looked gorgeous. Their makeup was done at Blush makeup and beauty. The girls at blush use the most gorgeous mineral based makeup… Absolutely love their work!!

As Kieren’s favourite colour is yellow she choose yellow as her wedding theme. The yellow tulips were amazing. So beautiful!!!

It was soon time to head over to the ceremony which was held at the chapel on the grounds of Aanuka Beach Resort. Cindy Pocok performed a romantic and very sweet ceremony which was followed by family photos. The family were so co-operative… I know its a struggle to listen to my little voice sometimes.

Following the family photos we headed around the resort for some photos.

The reception was gorgeous. Loved the yellow and black at the reception it was gorgeous.

Guys it was such an awesome day. I hope that you are both doing well. So sorry it’s taken forever to share your photos.
Here are just a few for now and ill post some more on facebook soon.

Just as winter was getting into full swing I had the opportunity to photograph the beautiful wedding of Sarah and Mark. Dorrigo has a tendency to be quite cold during the winter and it was no different on Sarah and Mark’s wedding day. This didn’t put a dampener on the day however and everyone had a great time.

The photos of the guys were up first and were a lot of fun, everything was organised and Mark was super excited for the day. The girls weren’t far off and got ready without any dramas before they headed to the ceremony. The sun was incredible, beautiful soft winter rays coming through the trees made for some rich colours and beautiful skin tones.

Dorrigo is a great place to photograph and I think we could all put the cold behind us and enjoy what was a fantastic day, even if we did sneak into the reception a little early to enjoy the fireplace!

Thanks for letting me be part of your day!

Here’s a few pics.
