It was a glorious sunny day for Yuval and Gabe’s wedding. I’d been eager to finally meet them in person as they were arranging their wedding remotely from the UK. I was glad to find that they were both easygoing, honest and warm people with whom I built an instant rapport.

Following some photos of the two in the Rocks, we met at Breakfast Point for the gorgeous garden ceremony, then it was on to Waterview in Bicentennial Park for the fun and colourful reception.

Gabe arrived in a Model-T Ford:

Unique and quirky reception styling, all based around Alice in Wonderland:

These guys know how to cut loose!

Congratulations Yuval and Gabe, and all the best for your new lives together.

After a failed attempt a grand romantic proposal in the Blue Mountains, Roy had to change to Plan B. He proposed as Mel was unpacking their holiday clothes and doing laundry at home! It was this kind of genuine gesture that, to me, defines the raw, pure connection between Roy and Mel. They have been together for a decade but they are still desperately in love. Their wedding further affirmed the love for each other and for their family and friends.

It was an uncharacteristically hot spring day. A visibly nervous yet jovial Mel greeted me as she was getting ready with the girls and family.We then continued onto Bicentennial Park in Homebush for the gorgeous outdoor ceremony and it was onto the nearby Waterview function centre for the emotional and energetic reception.

My good friend and amazing photographer Nerida McMurray photographed with me. Rachael from Harbour City Films as always handled the video flawlessly.
