I recently had the great good fortune to be invited to photograph the wedding of Stacey and Charlie, which took place at Cabarita. Groom and grooms-men were dressed in traditional Scottish attire, including kilt pins, sporrans and whisky flasks, and looked like they’d walked straight out of the highlands. Stacey and her bridesmaids kept to tradtitional anglo wedding attire, and looked absolutely stunning.
The ceremony was a simple and beautiful affair, which took place under a copse of pandanus trees near the beach. Afterwards, we went down to the sand and took some photos, and then went to the Cabarita Headland for some more photos with the ‘lovedub’ combi van they had hired for the day. Stacey and Charlie were wonderful subjects – very easygoing and lots of fun.
When we had finished we went to Mantra on Salt Beach for the reception, where I took a few photos and then left them to enjoy the rest of their evening. There was one last surprise before I left: a Scottish Bagpiper, who led the couple in to a standing ovation.
Beautiful.
Hope you liek the sample pictures, guys; many more to come!

Wedding photography can be a tricky business sometimes, but there are some things that make the job much easier, like shooting a couple as beautiful and handsome as Snejana and Steve! It’s hard to go wrong when you’ve got model good-looks on the other end of the lens, and even harder when the occasion is such a happy one!
This wedding was very intimate, with a handful of guests, an entertaining celebrant and delicious food from the caterers at Bellini restaurant. The vows were the most moving I’ve ever witnessed, and I was honored to be able to document the day.
So to Steve and Snejana: congratulations on such a wonderful wedding, and all the best for the future! Enjoy the sample photos – many more to come!
