You might recall Fflur and Kevin’s wedding images from a little while back. Fflur and Kevin are self-confessed massive Star Wars fans. Themed wedding images are all the rage at the moment – you don’t have to look too hard before you bump in to an image of a wedding party being chased by a T-Rex! We thought it would be cool to arrange something unique for them to treasure.

We shot this at the old Tallebudgera post office. (You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villany.) (Not really, that’s a Star Wars quote. It’s quite a cool old building.) It took a few months of searching around to find actual working lightsabers. Not toys, mind you, the real deal. They’re pretty cool if you can get your hands on one.

Actually… this is a Photoshop masterpiece from Wanda. Normally her PS work doesn’t extend to science fiction weaponry! She had a lot of fun bringing this image to life.

Hope you love this image, guys. It’s very you. 🙂

It’s a wedding! One of my favourite things to photograph.  A bride, a groom, flowers, decorations, fun stuff and fun times as well as a tear or two throughout the day.  (Sometimes it’s even the bride that cries, not me!)

Kevin and Fflur’s wedding was a wedding like no other.  It was a family that came together to get everything done, from everyone who was slightly crafty chipping in to make gorgeous paper crane decorations, Fflur making the bouquets herself (you’ll see the amazing work she did), to her Mum and Aunty making cakes and trifle for the lunch buffet and wedding cake.  So many of Kevin and Fflur’s friends and family were involved in the making of The Wedding.  Everyone worked so hard to bring Fflur and Kevin’s dream to reality.  And I have to say, from what I saw even behind my camera, they did exactly that.

 

Fflur has always reminded me of a 1920’s pin-up girl.  Movie posters, old Hollywood glamour.  And she looked exactly the part on the day.  The jewels were to die for, and check out those eyelashes! The epitome of glamour.

 

Apparently Kevin is a tad forgetful…. We loved the sweet notes Fflur left him to remind him of where everything was and what not to forget.  (and shhhh, he may have forgotten something….)

 

The dashing Kevin has always reminded me of a very eloquent dashing pirate.  He happily admits to being a geek and proud of it and I just love that they incorporated both of their personalities in every aspect of the day.

 

Fflur and Kevin planned to see each other and arrive at the ceremony together.  It was really nice getting to capture such a special moment, especially the instant where Kevin first saw Fflur looking amazing and the emotion.

 

This bridal party was completely AMAZING! Gorgeous shades of red and purple and such fun to photograph.

 

See those strings of paper cranes decorating the arch?  Well, there were thousands of those little guys.  And there were bigger ones.  And more little ones.  And even more little ones.  Each one hand folded and made with love.  You’ll see the detail of the cranes in a future post.  They were so beautiful, colourful and I instantly fell in love with all of them.

 

A teeny glimpse of the truly spectacular handmade bouquet made by Fflur.  The bouquet was only outshone by Fflur herself.  

 

They exchanged their vows under the branches of a gorgeous camphor laurel tree.  And the weather was perfect, not too hot and it didn’t rain!

The groomsmen played some awesome kazoo after the ceremony as Fflur and Kevin walked back down the aisle.  Kazoo!

 

Kris stole Kevin away for some photos while Fflur was busy having fun dancing and mingling…

 

Oh I love this shot.  And it’s one of mine!

 

Did I mention this bridal party were great fun?  They really hammed it up for the camera and this was their Zoolander pose!

Here are some more of our favourite shots from the wedding of the beautiful Kate and manly Mitch!  They were such fun to work with, even being so accommodating to our request that they have a “his and hers” photo in the portaloos.  The bridal party was in hysterics and all the guests at the wedding couldn’t figure out what on earth we were laughing about!  I love weddings that have that fun factor, the bride and groom are up for a challenge and the bridal party are so happy and goofing about.  That’s when we get some great candid and some of the most amazing and happy photos from the day.

This would have to be one of my favourite images.  We were walking down a bush track to get to the beach before it rained to capture some amazing beach photos.  Kris snapped this gorgeous picture of Kate, dress hiked up and her daintily walking in the most amazing purple high heels, along a sandy track to get to the perfect location.  I love a bride with dedication!
