Chris & Belle : Mudgee Wedding 26.1.13

‘Wilpine’  Mudgee

Chris and Belle were married on Australia Day in a beautiful country setting at their home, and surrounded by their family and friends they promised their lives to each other.  So much love and hard work was evidently poured into the absolutely amazing details for their special day, and the overflowing joy and happiness that was witnessed was the added ingredient to make this day perfect.

Congratulations Chris and Belle!!  Your wedding was stunning and I know your marriage will be amazing.  Much love and best wishes for your future together, enjoy some of my favourites from your day   xo

……

Belle, you are a stunning bride…truly gorgeous!

Chris and Belle decided to do a ‘First Look’…this is a special moment before the wedding ceremony where they saw each other for the first time as bride and groom!  Belle walked down to ‘their’  tree where Chris was waiting in anticipation…it was beautiful…so full of emotion and such a private moment just for them.  This was the first time I have photographed a first look and it was awesome.  LOVE  🙂

So thankful Emily was with me to second shoot…this picture is hers (and it’s one of my favourites!).

How awesome are the bouquets..which were designed by Belle!

And then it was off to the reception at the absolutely gorgeous “The Vinegrove”.   I can’t quite describe how amazing this place is…it’s a special events venue and the home of  ‘The Venue Dresser’.  Sarah (and Belle) did an incredible job with decorating both the wedding and reception venue 🙂  So many wonderful details simply everywhere!

Announcing the new Mr and Mrs!!

The stunning dessert bar was created by Mudgee Made, and the fabulous wedding cake was made and decorated by Kelly, who was one of Belle’s bridesmaids…
