A few personal effects, the wedding invitation, the floral arrangements, sets the tone for the wedding day.
The dresses for bridesmaids and the bride, so fine looking even on their own.
The bridesmaids, being a little playful in front of a truly huge floral arrangement.
Some of the intricate detailing of the dress, and the wedding ring.
Monogrammed drinking glasses, a sense of both individuality and solidarity.
Always good to capture the bride descending a staircase. We love the floral arrangements on the railing.
A good hug is always a good thing.
Holding up the dress train, because it’s the one time we actually have a train.
And every wedding needs that portrait of the bride, to show how great she looks in that dress.
Just a bouquet, because a good flower arrangement is enough to make a good photo.
Serenaded with drums, which has been a popular trend lately. Live music is visceral, and really bring us into the moment.
The two rings together, just as the bride and groom soon will be.
The groom, dressed casually before the start of the day.
And then looking very fine in a tux.
A very modern look for St Luke the Evangelist Catholic Church, Revesby.
Bright, sunny and joyous inside the church, yet still with that sense of tradition.
Stained glass windows with a modern look.
Arriving in a sporty wedding car, because brides should arrive in style
Leaving the church as a married couple.
A few photos in and around Sydney Harbour.
Capturing the train of the bride’s dress in the perfect curve. We love to capture this type of image.
Mixing indoor and outdoor images. It seems appropriate to have arches in a wedding photo.
In the back of a convertible, which seems the right type of thing for a wedding.
The reception at Villa Blanca in Bankstown.
A fine idea to have the names on a mirror. We forget how elegant silver can look.
An elegant look for the head table with white flowers and a touch of green.
Capturing the reception hall in all its grandeur. Most elegant chandeliers, flowers and table arrangements.
The bride and groom at the centre of reception. We like the sense of symmetry here.
A slightly unusual cake behind that floral arrangement, with tiers in odd sizes. Yet it works with the other arrangements.
Capturing the bride and groom on a stairway, with their names framed on the side. The type of image that sums up a wedding.
Lights and mist as the happy couple dance to the music.
Carried on the shoulders of guests.
Cutting the cake, an most important moment.
And they dance together, alone.
Tossing the bouquet, because traditions are important, especially as this only happens once for each one of us.
And leaving at the end of the night, along a line of friends guests and relatives.
All of us at Splendid wish Vanessa and Matthew the best for their future together.
