Rachel & Michael wanted to do things a bit differently for their wedding; they wanted to spend as much time as possible with their friends and family so they decided to have a “first look” where they had their main bridal party photos before the ceremony. As untraditional as it is, I love the idea plus are weddings these days really that traditional anymore?

The day started off at their house where the boys were getting ready. Michael’s father was his best man, which is just adorable- he was so honored. The girls looked gorgeous with a lot of Rachel’s hand made special pieces being on show as part of their big day including their beautiful bouquets. As we approached Port Adelaide for the “first look”, both bride and groom were set with nerves. I guided them eyes-closed next to one another and as we let them see each other for the first time, we watched as the magic unfolded.

After the beautiful ceremony hosted by amazing celebrant Jessica Maida, the bride and groom were free to chat to their guests and enjoy the day as the main photos were done.

Inside the golf club, the scene was set with a beautiful array of hand-made items from the creative Rachel, which was just a gorgeous touch to a beautiful heart-felt wedding. Congrates to you both!
