Stacey & Jason | Wedding

Stacey & Jason were married last August on a gorgeous winters day, with the ceremony at Darling Harbour’s Chinese Garden of Friendship followed by a reception at Aqua Dining at Milsons Point.

Stacey has a love for all things Disney & had little touches spread throughout the day. Starting with a gorgeous pink wedding dress fit for a princess :)

We then headed to Luna Park for a few more portraits before heading into the reception. Stacey & Jason headed straight for this bench seat, where it turns out Jason had proposed!

The details throughout the reception were a nod to all things Disney. From Mickey poking his head through the cake…

Alison & Brenton | Wedding

Alison & Brenton were married back in April at the Chinese Garden of Friendship in Darling Harbour, followed by the reception in the Star Room above IMAX.

The weather was absolutely perfect. Everyone got ready at the Novotel in Darling Harbour & I spent the morning travelling back and forth between the girls and guys getting ready.

Alison made her own dress & it was simply divine. The detail in the lace was really incredible.

I love seeing couples laugh out loud during their ceremonies. It’s how it should be :)

After the ceremony we spent a few minutes wandering around the Chinese Gardens and Darling Harbour before catching a water taxi over to Cockatoo Island for more portraits.

Earlier in the afternoon, I snuck into the Star Room to get a few shots before all the guests arrived.

Every Saturday night there’s a 5 minute fireworks display over Darling Harbour, so after the first few speeches, we ducked outside for a few night shots.
