{Wedding of Liz & Craig}

Today was a day I'd be thinking about for ages...
the weather had been teasing us all week...
and Liz was a referral from a good friend,
so I wanted it to be perfect!

Liz and her sisters spent the morning being all girly...
and had a special friend come up from down the coast
to do their hair and make up... they looked beautiful!
And had a lot of laughs along the way!!
And sadly, a few tears...Liz's brooch was her Mum's, Mum's...
and it meant alot to be wearing it...
Little Miss Lola even had the bling - thing happening!!
While Craig and the lads waited at the base of
the stairs at Sandon Point for a 'first glance' shoot
before the ceremony.... I LOVE these!!
He was in awe of his beautiful bride to be
as she made her way down to him.
And she did her best to get him organised!!
As did the girls with the groomsmen!
Now the fun could begin!
The girls had bought some beautiful parasols...
just in case it poured...
as the weather reports had predicted...
luckily, we could celebrate!! Only a few sprinkles!!
Perfect opportunity to steal a kiss...
and have a few laughs before the ceremony.
Liz, you looked absolutely amazing...
and Craig... who sent the girls in his life a bunch of flowers
and a letter each in the morning...
together, were as calm as ever.
Liz's flowers were beautiful
and the boat sheds made the perfect backdrop to their vintage theme.
Everyone LOVED the bridesmaid dresses...very pretty!!
And Liz's dress suited her perfectly.
Craig seemed to have practiced for this day!!
We headed off to a new location in Bulli...
Which was just perfect! I loved the colour of Liz's dress against the ivy wall.
Time for a little crazy behaviour!!
Wait for it....
Yay!! Only took a feeeeew goes!!
The girls glamming it up...
and the guys, still pondering the weather...
and their Movember styles!!
Time to head to our family shoot at the harbour!
This might take some gentle persuasion...
Little Lola wasn't sure what all the fuss was about...
Nope, NOT looking!!!
It was almost time... Umm, Craig.... are those purple spotted socks!?!?
I was so impressed by the socks, he decided to show his undies!!
THANKS CRAIG!!! Loving the purple theme!!
Okay guys, it's time to go...
We have a wedding to attend!
And Dad is waiting anxiously to walk his baby girl down the aisle...
Which was decorated beautifully by the
gorgeous Kate of Southern Style Events,
Wedding Street, Port Kembla!
The sign in table decorated with the beautiful bird cages,
that also decorated the reception,
filled with matching flowers, just gorgeous!
Liz & Dad grabbed Mum on their way down the flower petal aisle,
which was a very special touch... very thoughtful Liz & Craig. xx
Who then watched on with little Lola!
A beautiful ceremony under the trees at Market Square,
was watched by many onlookers....
happy to share in the happy couple's big day!!
In dedication to their friend Bonnie, who introduced them...
a little Bonnie & Clyde on the gorgeous cars...
Absolutely fitting for this beautiful day!
Despite the crashing thunder and lightning outside
the Fairy Meadow Surf Club,
the night went on with plenty of dancing
to the tunes of Matt & Steve Duo
and the INCREDIBLE food created by
Aaron of Austi Beach Cafe (formally Fresh Az).
Thanks soooo much for having me there...
I'll be hitting you up for that BBQ on your return Craig!!
Only if you have a real Coke in the fridge this time!!
Congratulations Liz & Craig, enjoy FIJI!!
Watch their perfectly suited slideshow!!
