Jade & Matt | Wedding

Back in October, I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Jade & Matt’s gorgeous wedding at Circa 1876 up in the Hunter Valley.

We started out the day with the girls getting ready in the Lavender Cottage at Thistle Hill near Pokolbin. I could honestly have spent a day just photographing the property!

Hair & Makeup was by Bonita & Diane of Your Big Day & they did a stunning job getting the girls glammed up!

I asked Jade if her dad was likely to get emotional when he saw her, and she said it wasn’t likely, so I was pretty chuffed to capture this look :)

The ceremony was held in the simple stunning gardens of Circa 1876.

I loved the way they looked at each other as Jade walked down the aisle, and the huge hug on arrival!

We then headed back to Circa 1876 for a few more portraits amongst the vines.

I totally fell in love with this wall in the lounge, it made the perfect backdrop for the photobooth.
