Elysha & Wil's Wedding

What an amazing time for a wedding! Stones of the Yarra Valley was in its finest form with a natural backdrop of full Autumn colours.

There was a lotta love in the room for Elysha and Wil in Stones' Chapel in Coldstream, Yarra Valley, including a surprise serenade from a hidden band for Elysha. What a romantic groom! He's off to a good start!

Smiles all round as they progressed to their tea ceremony held in the newly renovated stables and reception in the amazing Barn.

Vonnie and Steve ran a fabulous event for Elysha and Wil and all their family and guests. It was a really special day, and I truly  enjoyed being a part of it. Thanks for choosing Image Eight for your photography. Hope you enjoy all your images.

Ilona & Chris' Wedding

I met Ilona and Chris photographing Ilona's brother's wedding. I was so pleased to be awarded the chance to spend another day of celebrations with this fabulous family. 

Ilona and Chris were married at Quat Quatta, Ripponlea, Melbourne.

What a stunningly beautiful couple, with Chris wearing the sharpest suit I've seen in a long time!

A modern Jewish wedding held under the Chuppah in the gardens of Quat Quatta.

The reception followed straight on from the ceremony, so we photographed the Bridal party and families in the beautiful grounds of Quat Quatta.

Illona and Chris' guests were treated to a fantastic party and celebration of their marriage. I am getting to love the Hora and the amazing atmosphere that is created when the Bride and Groom are soaring above their guests on chairs. It so much fun, and a true wedding celebration.

At their request, I stayed the whole evening and had the pleasure of "leaving" with the Bride and Groom to accompany them into the City where we had the chance to photograph them with the cityscape of the Docklands. It was great to have the couple all to myself and watch them unwind and reflect on their day.

Gee Amanda and Damien were fortunate last week! Another gorgeous couple and an equally stunning day especially for photos by the beach in Brighton St Joan of Arc Catholic Church, Brighton was the beginning of the celebrations with Father Martin Dixon overseeing the service. Then on to the wedding party photos among the bathing boxes and along the waters edge, Dendy Beach with the Melbourne city skyline as their back drop. The celebrations concluded at The Brighton Savoy.

Mary Ann & Andrew's Wedding

Congratulations Andrew and Mary Ann. I don't think I've ever photographed a wedding with more smiles and clapping! Such a happy, happy day! We also encountered one of Melbourne's wettest days and heaviest downpours, but that didn't phase the wedding party or the congregation. Ormond Anglican Church buzzed with joy. After a very wet photo shoot near North Rd and at Ardrie Park we proceeded to malvern valley Receptions, at malvern Valley Golf Club for a big celebration. Thanks for choosing Image Eight. It was great to be part of your day.

Jade & Jade's Wedding

So enjoyable to be part of Jade and Jade's amazing day! A truly gorgeous couple, and what a great time we had wandering the city, stopping at Hosier Lane for some great shots, The Australian Centre for Contemporary Art ( ACCA ) where we posed with the Etype jag, Crown casino, and then on to 89 at Eureka Tower. The sky looked fantastic at night from the Sky Deck Edge platform. Thanks to the two Jade's for choosing Image Eight for your photography. I thoroughly enjoyed your company, and the whole day.
