Ryan & Louise: 9 November / Silvermist Mountain Lodge

Louise and Ryan tied the knot at the Tokai Stone Chapel and celebrated at Silvermist Mountain Lodge. Louise and Ryan - your day was so soft and gentle, the love you share evident in so many ways. Thank you for including me in your special day.

Louise looked ravishing in her Robyn Roberts designed dress.




The impact this couple makes on people in their lives were evident all over.

Louise you made the fairy tale world in my head come alive - finding a distressed woods, perfectly complimenting your exquisite dress - i couldnt resist.

I simply cannot get enough of this dress.

Before the service... in Louise's mom's garden - this shot is straight out of camera. I love the flare!

Carolyn from Reveal Beauty Bar & Boutique did an amazing job with making the fabulous ladies even more fabulous.

Louise's sister, Kate Linder form Perfect Picture Photography, gave up being behind the lens for one day to share her sister's special day with her.

Louise was the most relaxed bride I've ever seen - the only tell tale signs that her mind was overflowing with deep thought where sometimes in her body language.

Why do i love being with the bride during her getting ready stage.... because you get these type of reactions. First glance, first reaction to a girl transformed into the most beautiful bride.

Louise's sister, Kate - i just love the effect a bride has in a room.

And this is why

Last touches by Carolyn.. almost there

Yes, everyone must touch up!

Wedding party arriving at the Tokai Stone Chapel - that's Louise's dashing brother looking so proud next to her!

Yes! I do have a facination with couples in cars....

The guys doing their thing

I wouldnt have been there for the cake cutting and first dance... but my oh my oh MY... was I glad stayed - these two might look reserved by they can M-O-V-E.

Ryan, Louise... may the rest of your lives be blessed.

Time for little toes to come out for summer....

This time of the year is my favourite to get little people's portraits done - why? Because they are so cute, and such fun to work with - their little toes wriggle in the sand, and their faces go scrunchy with feeling the ocean breeze and sun on their skin. (plus look at these faces, they were born to be super schmodels!) These are some of my favourite little subjects over the past year - if you're keen on having family portraits done, now is the perfect time!

Here's the toes

Sugar and spice and all things nice...

Most precious thing about being a child... the giggles right from the tummy

What? Eating my cupcakes is sexy too
