Our amazing technicolour wedding pants!

Nearly every wedding Katie and I turn up to, we take one look at each other and have a good old chuckle.

Often we’ll both come wearing versions of the same outfit…navy striped tops with red shoes, jeans with jackets…and last wedding we both wore emerald green. It is never planned, but always uncanny.

So the day we both rocked up to a wedding wearing colourful pants, we had a never-ending line of guests complimenting us on our bizarre mirroring abilities! As soon as we had a dinner break, we found ourselves saying things like “These are the BEST PANTS EVER to photograph in! Look at how low I can lunge!!!”

We took shots of each other in our pants, because it is SO HARD to find the perfect uniform for weddings. We always dress up so that we blend in with the guests rather than look like we’re on official business (black pants and suits? it’s a little too CIA for a wedding, don’t you think?) but to find something that feels dressed up – as well as comfortable – for all the various positions we find ourselves in during the course of the day is crazy difficult!

So! Female photographers of the world, these are hands down the best, most comfortable pants you could ever invest in. The most flattering version we found was at WILGA in Kallista, where they hand make each pair out of some truly fabulous prints.

Love Katie + Sarah xo

Brooke - Awesome, I always struggling with finding comfortable yet stylish wedding outfits that I can shoot in. Currently I am looking for cute but comfy/support shoes to wear for 10+ hours. Any suggestions?

Sophie - Going to get me some! The working-wedding outfit is ALWAYS the biggest dilemma and a never-ending search! Black pants and suits are definitely too CIA-look-at-how-pro-I-am. Looking forward to trying out my lunges, thanks girls! :)

Katie + Sarah - We DO have a great shoe recommendation!!! How about we blog that too?! x

Kylie + Nick’s Blairgowrie Wedding

There was so much that I loved about being a part of Kylie + Nick’s wedding.

It was in a backyard, near the beach, just down the road from where my family used to holiday every year when I was a kid.

The day started with a poker game and ended with surprise flash mob.

There was festoon lighting, and dancing in the grass.

And I got to shoot barefoot.

I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect, relaxed and gorgeous group of people to spend my day with. Now, let’s do it again.

Love Katie xo

 

Lou - That looks like the funnest wedding ever! And the portraits of the bride and groom are just stunning.

Margaret Price - Great photos, really captured the happiness of the day, and magical photos of the beautiful bride and groom are superb!

Brooke - Love love love it

Jakub - I just spotted my good work buddy Robyn! Small world!

Felicity Johnston - Hi, what superb photos. I was the celebrant at Nick and Kylie’s wedding and I’ll definitely be recommending you to couples I come across. You’ve captured the whole day and night perfectly.

A surprise…

On the weekend, Sarah and I photographed our very first surprise wedding.

To everyone attending, it was to be a merry 1950′s summer themed engagement party for Hailey + Mick. They had no idea what the afternoon would bring.

An hour into the festivities, Hailey quietly took her mum into her room. It only took a split second before she noticed the wedding dress hanging on the back of her daughter’s door.

This was her reaction.

Thus began the surprise wedding of Hailey + Mick.

cathryn - This is amazing!! Such a beautiful shot!!

Jannie - Lovely set of photographs! love the B&W conversions.

Simone + James’s Australiana Shoot

Happy Valentines Day everyone!!!

We thought we’d bring you a little Valentine’s Day surprise post just for fun…and ‘cos we’re in the business of L.O.V.E.  :-)

The shots below are from the stunning wedding of Simone and James, which at times felt as though we were shooting an Elizabeth Arden perfume campaign!

What amazed us most, however, was how many ways you can utilise one simple location to produce a really wide array of wedding portraits. As that old saying goes…K.I.S.S. And how very appropriate for today’s post!

Love Katie + Sarah xo

 

Tina kent - oh these are beautiful! Love a natural setting. lovT

Glenda Wilson - A beautiful couple who are obviously very much in love. Congrats to my baby daughter Simone and her new husband James. xxoo

Trinity Seddon - Lovely photos, had a great time at the wedding and can’t wait to catch up again

Sacha + Mick’s Abbotsford Convent Wedding

Hello hello!!!

We are currently deep in the marshes and jungles (or more specifically – bowls clubs and forests) of wedding season! We know it’s boring to talk about the weather, but…how good is the weather?! We’ve had a series of the most beautiful weddings, all so lucky with their sunshine and a touch of cloud, but possibly the most perfect lighting Mother Nature has ever supplied us was at the wedding of Sacha and Mick.

And lucky us – these guys opted to do a first look and get their photos all out of the way before the ceremony – so excuse the insane amount of wedding portraits you’re about to see, but with no looming deadlines, and so much flexibility, we WENT. TO. TOWN. !!!

The first look is a contentious issue for many couples, but everyone we know who has done one has been so happy with their choice. And we can’t even begin to tell you how much it rocks our lives too!

1990′s alert – remember doing nail art in primary school? Not the manicure kind. The nails-hammered-into-a-piece-of-wood-and-cotton-looped-around-the-nails type. We were SO IMPRESSED when we saw these guys had done a massive DIY nail art project and brought this serious art movement back for their special day! We call it, Nailism, and it must have been a running theme, because these guys nailed everything.

Enjoy the stunning wedding of Sacha and Mick!
