Wedding: Lauren & Matt

Wedding: Lauren & Matt

September 5, 2011 |  by  |  Bride, Wedding

This was one very cool wedding to photograph that featured some beautiful locations, two super families, a rockin’ reception, tears, laughter and a couple that looked simply ‘right’ together. Instead of me going on and on, I decided to ask Lauren to give some details about her amazing day. So, in her words and my images, enjoy the blog post.

WHERE WAS THE WEDDING? 

Ceremony: St Patricks Church Hill, The Rocks

Reception: The Starship, Sydney harbour

THEME OR STYLE: 

We went for French inspired vintage glamour but I would actually say it ended up being a bit of a mish-mash of Lauren & Matt!  I did all of the decorating myself with help from my Mum, dad & Sister in sourcing everything!

BRIDE’S DRESS:

Carla Zampatti

BRIDE’S SHOES:

Mollini

JEWELLERY/ACCESSORIES:

HAIR & MAKEUP: 

Hair was done by my long time hairdresser Trish and Makeup done by a dear friend Jacob Stanley

Both inspired by Parisian glamour

GROOMSMEN: 

Suits from Oxford

THE FLOWERS: 

Hayfever Flowers – Christina Hay

THE CAKE: 

Eiffel Tower by celebrations

 INVITATIONS & STATIONERY: 

We made them ourselves with the help of a friend Michelle Tye who runs her own small stationery business

FOOD & DRINK: 

Canapés by the Starship

Fusion Brewing (a brewing business owned by our friends) provided the beer

 BOMBONIERE:

We didn’t have one but people captured memories on the night in a photobooth

A MEMORABLE MOMENT:

Matt rocking out on his Gibson guitar (a gift from me) and his grooms-lady revealing that he’d said “its perfect, just like my chicken” when he received it.  Also our “fail” of a high five in the church!

THE HONEYMOON:

 2.5 weeks in Vietnam travelling south to north

Matt proposed to Lauren in spectacular style on location in Paris looking out from their apartment in the shadow of Sacre-Coeur.

Happy to be married - YOU BET!

I had a ball photographing this bridal party with laughs all round all day.

Matt with his surprise gift from Lauren which just took the day beyond perfect for Matt.

I asked Lauren to pick a favourite image and this is the one. A brief quiet moment on the deck of the boat surrounded by harbour lights in the arms of her new husband.

This photo came in a close 2nd as Lauren's favourite.
