Fernbank Farm Wedding

The Fernbank Farm wedding of Emily & Rhys was an epic wedding on one of the hottest days this summer.

Located on the Central Coast of NSW, Fernbank Farm is an absolutely stunning place to have your wedding. Everything on this day happened onsite, so there was no travelling what-so-ever. The boys got ready in ‘The Cottage’ while the girls got ready in the ‘Main House’. The ceremony happened under the beautiful Steel Arbour and the reception was in a beautiful and elegant marquee.

It was a hot & humid night and it took a while for people to get on the dance floor… but when they did they went crazy! I have seen a lot of crazy dance floors, but this was a first for me. When AC/DC’s ‘Thunderstruck’ was played every guy in the place took their shirts off and fist pumped like crazy. The photos are pretty cool and the experience was awesome!

So check out this amazing Fernbank Farm wedding and I can’t wait to go back there to photograph more awesome weddings. :)

Leaves and Fishes Wedding

The Leaves and Fishes wedding of Andrea and Mitchell in the Hunter Valley was a beautiful and intimate wedding with some really lovely moments. I love shooting weddings in the Hunter Valley and I particularly love shooting at wedding venues that I have never been to before. So I was really excited to photograph this wedding as I have heard so many good things about this amazing venue.

Leaves and Fishes

Leaves and Fishes is located in Lovedale, right in the heart of Wine Country in the Hunter Valley. It is just two hours from Sydney and just forty-five minutes from Newcastle.

This beautiful property is set overlooking a gorgeous lake and has a luscious natural Australian bush surrounding it. The restaurant and the reception venue have an almost Tropical North Queensland feel to it with some of the huge palm trees and ferns surrounding it.

It first opened in 2004 and has become known for its luxury accommodation and delicious and innovative food. What I also love about this venue is that the whole day from start to finish can happen here. There is accommodation available, and you can do the ceremony the photos and the reception all onsite. So it makes it much easier for you and for your wedding guests.

Wedding Preparation

The bride and groom both got ready in separate properties. The boys got ready at a private property just around the corner from Leaves and Fishes, while the girls did their wedding preparation onsite at Leaves and Fishes.

Leaves and Fishes offers some beautiful and luxurious wedding accommodation called ‘the boathouse accommodation’. There are only four of these private boathouses available. They have their own deck and they overlook a lovely pond. And they are perfect for wedding preparation. This is where Andrea and the girls got ready.

Leaves and Fishes wedding ceremony & photos

The wedding ceremony took place just out the back from the wedding reception in a beautiful garden area surrounded by trees.

After the ceremony, we took some family photos before taking a few relaxed photos around the pond. We chased the setting sun and got some lovely golden light through the trees.

The Wedding Reception

The wedding reception took place at “The House”, which is separate from the main Leaves and Fishes restaurant. There were heaps of laughs, just the right amount of tears and some crazy dancing!

So enjoy this beautiful Leaves and Fishes wedding and I can’t wait to go back there to photograph more weddings at this gorgeous venue.

Walka Water Works Wedding

The Walka Water Works wedding Of Haley & Chris was something a little special with a few different elements that some people may not have seen before in a wedding.

Firstly this was their second wedding or part two of their wedding journey. Chris is from Australia and Hayley is from the USA, so a couple of weeks earlier they had an American wedding for all their American family & friends. So this wedding was the Aussie wedding.

Because they had already done this before, they said that they were much more relaxed and were really able to enjoy the day without any stress.

They both got ready together, which I totally love and think more couples should do. I love the idea of two people in love, getting ready together before they make this big commitment to each other. They also arrived together in the same car, walked down the aisle together… they didn’t exchange rings because they did that in America, but they did sign the marriage certificate.

The Walka Water Works is a very unique wedding venue. Very rustic and industrial, and Haley & Chris with the help of their family & friends, worked very hard to make this the perfect backdrop for their wedding. So sit back, relax and enjoy the Walka Water Works wedding of Haley & Chris.

Norah Head Lighthouse Wedding

Evelyn & Michael’s Norah Head Lighthouse wedding ?

Norah Head Lighthouse on the Central Coast is a venue I have wanted to shoot a wedding at for a long time. I go to Norah Head at least once a week with the family and our puppy Beau so I couldn’t wait to photograph this wedding. And this wedding didn’t disappoint! It was a beautiful intimate wedding with just a small gathering of family & friends and an amazing couple, with a beautiful, unique style and spirit. Norah Head also turned on an amazing sunset for us!

So enjoy Evelyn & Michael’s beautiful Norah Head Lighthouse wedding.

Circa 1876 Wedding | Hunter Valley

The Circa 1876 wedding of Monica & Andrew in the Hunter Valley was an amazing day to be a part of. They are two of the nicest people and their bridal party was amazingly friendly and so upbeat the entire day.

Monica & the girls got ready in an amazing home in Broke called Talits French Estate, while the boys play tennis, football and went for a swim. The wedding ceremony was held at St Patricks of Nulkaba and the reception was held at the always beautiful Circa 1876.

So we really hope you enjoy this beautiful Circa 1876 wedding in the Hunter Valley and I can’t wait to photograph more weddings there.
