Our Wedding Day :)

Every time I'm a part of a wedding, I can't help but be fondly reminded of my own wedding - one of the very happiest days of my life :) It is my GREATEST wish that each and every one of my couples feels the same exquisite range of emotions that I felt on my special day :) And that each of my brides feels pampered, spoilt rotten and surrounded by the love of special people. Hubs always jokes that I stalked our wedding service providers - Candy (our videographer) we see regularly, and Merlene (my makeup artist) I run into at the gym all the time. I say, never pick anyone to be a part of your day who you can't view yourself being friends with, because really? You're gonna spend A LOT of time with them :)

Here are a few of my favourite images from the day, captured by the phenomenal Just Judy :) If I had to do it all over, I'd choose for everything to be the same :) Oh, and the same man! Hehehe! 

This is one of my favourite photos of me from the day - unaware of the camera and bordering on elegant ;)




I needed 4 bridesmaids just to get my dress buttoned ;)


I'm sure poor Judy must've gone through 1 million photos of me with my jolly mouth open! Never stops flapping ;)


Whenever I smell tuber roses, I'm reminded... 


Merlene convinced me to go for lashes, and I'm so glad I did! Every girl should have these to create a perfect doe-eyed effect for her day!


Love how my cuz Carissa is literally a head taller than all of us!


The significance of this shot makes me tear up a little, perhaps my favourite of the day!


We went in for a very smoochy first kiss!


It feels rather unnatural, I'm not gonna lie, to have people throw things at you, even if it is just rose petals!


My girls :)


...and my man! ;)







Photos = perfect excuse for LOTS of smooching, as if you need one ;)


Love this moment between us, and the power of a photo to freeze that in time :)


Haha, won't be telling you what hubs said here ;)


Love this group shot, I think every wedding should have one, it's so special to have so many of your loved ones in one spot for the day!

 

My dress made me feel like a princess :)




I adore the lines of this shot, and the peace of the moment :) Our couple shoot was such a beautiful and special time to re-group, focus, enjoy each other and get centred before the reception :)


Teehee, this one always makes me giggle as Hubs reckons it looks like he's killed me! Haha, I think it's beautiful ;)











I loved how Judy captured our reception, all the craziness, love and laughter!


Adore :) Love this man more every day!

  4. @Ings, thank you sweet girl! That's a special wish indeed :)

    @Tash, thanks so much lovely!

    @Andre, thank you so much! As you'll have noticed, I like to talk, and I always love the 'behind-the-scenes' stories, esp to photos, as you never really know what went on unless someone shares ;)

  7. How wonderful! I do regret our photographer thuogh, we met with one and on THE day he sent his "partner" :( I have pretty photo's but not what I expected. Other than that our wedding was awesome too, oh and all photos on film, so I really need to scan some.
    You made for a very pretty bride, and beautiful dress!

  9. Tiffs....what a lovely post. Your wedding dress is beautiful and you looked every bit the princess you felt! So lovely! You are truly beautiful-inside and out! And I think your personal experience makes you an even better photographer! After all-how can you capture an emotion such as love if you have not felt it yourself? Well you could, but I think having been through it yourself, it makes your photo shoots better! Thanks for sharing your gorgeous photos! You made a lovely couple and a gorgeous bride!

  10. Ah thanks Bonnie, you're too sweet :) And I agree - to understand things deeply, it often takes a shared experience - and I know that seeing other peoples' love makes me love and appreciate my hubby even more :) xx
