Such a Lovely Lovely Lovely day :) I love it when people do their weddings THEIR way, the way they want to. And if that means having your photos before the ceremony so you get to spend more time having fun, or having your Husband to Be help you put on your dress...then so be it!!
Ceremony and Reception - Abbey Beach Resort Busselton
Celebrant - Jennifer Etherington (my personal favorite celebrant...she is just fabulous)
Flowers - Avardia Floral Design Busselton
Decoration - Wez Enterprises
Ceremony Setup - Milieu
So we started with the usual details and getting ready's, with the slight difference of everyone getting ready together! I love the idea of such a communal celebration and joy in their togetherness. Carole and Drew are just two of the loveliest people, and their bridal party of their closet friends were fabulous people altogether. It almost felt like a school camp! (in a non-teenage angst kinda way)
So they were all glammed up and we headed off for photos. Carole and Drew had chosen a 6pm beach ceremony, so we did the bridal party shoot before the festivities! Its a great way to ensure you have a fabulous celebration during and after the ceremony, and far more time being with your loved ones.
Abbey beach Resort is such a beautiful place. You are not short on fabulous places to have your photos done.
One of my favorite ways to get real emotion and expressions is to get people to whisper something naughty in the ear of their betrothed.... it never fails to get an awesome laugh or shocked expression!! :)
GORGEOUS flowers!! Avadia really are just fantastic.
Can i hear a OMG is she a Supermodel????
We also broke with tradition and did the traditional family photos before the ceremony! I LOVE this image for Carole and her mum, soooo sweet. Carole's mum was too cool :)
The ceremony on the beach in front of Abbey Beach resort was so touching. Now I'm a big wuss when it comes to soppy stuff and usually cry at most ceremonies, but drew not only had me crying, but about 99% of the guests with his absolutely beautiful vows he has written for Carole. Awwwww I'm tearing up again thinking about it.
Drew's niece graced us all with two beautiful songs during the ceremony. That girl has an amazing voice. Next Australian idol perhaps?
Cocktails and hugs came next and then off to the Abbey Bar for the reception. The cake and room looked amazing thanks to the fabulous duo at Wez Enterprises.
Carole and Drew had been given a Scottish Quaich (traditional wedding cup) from Drew's Scottish relatives, and this was passed around the bridal party and family as part of a Scottish wedding tradition.
Lovely Lovely day, thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of your celebrations. Your both totally gorgeous people!!!
