Sweet beginnings for Nigel and Di

Until Nigel and Di asked us to shoot their wedding, Kirrily and I had managed to walk through life without ever noticing that "same number" (cause its not quite a palindrome) dates and weddings go together. Sure we thought a mid-week wedding was cool - but we didn't realise HOW cool until it was pointed out to us. The coolest part for us, though, is that we had the privilege of capturing the moment that Di and Nigel agreed to be each other's sweetheart forever. We love our job!

Di was calm, poised and glowing in her crisp, white gown. We loved her choice of native flowers, especially the rich reds and nutty textures.

The ceremony was held at Castlereagh Hall, such a tranquil setting with a picturesque outlook. As you can see in the following image Di was overjoyed to be there, finally, walking down the aisle to marry her one and only.

The ceremony was beautifully officiated by Nicole Celeban. Both Nigel and Di listened intently as each promised themselves to the other. It's always our favourite moment (and Carley cries every single time!).

Meet the girls, Toni and Alexis, the two most attentive bridesmaids by far!

And now meet Damian. He's a great bloke - pity he is so shy in front of the camera. As you can see we really struggled to capture his personality....

Groomsmen are always great value and can be relied upon to keep everyone smiling and laughing as we shoot the location and formal images. However, we have decided that Errol (below) is THE BEST... hands down. Thanks, Errol, we really enjoyed having you around!

Di is a country girl through and through and just LOVES cows.

Such a pity they were not closer to the fence.

We couldn't help ourselves... with both Nigel and Di being correctional officers and all!

The country theme continued indoors at the reception with hay bales, native flowers and cow print decorating the hall.

Di and Nigel, thank you so much for allowing us to be present for this, your sweetest moment by far. We hope you will look back on your images and remember that the 09/09/09 was the beginning of what we hope will be a long, joyous and exciting life together. Congratulations once again!
