From France & Russia with love

Get ready for a BIG post!

I’ve known Blake for about 15 years, his family are like my family.  And now, Julia is like a sister!  Off we went to beautiful Brisbane to photograph this wedding, and wow – what a wedding it was!

No detail was sparred and the Bride – well you’ll see for yourself how stunning she looks!

The day started at Tsiknaris to get the girls hair done, before travelling back to Julia’s Parents house to finish off getting ready (which I was lucky enough to join in on too!)  We got Julia into her gown by Elizabeth de varga and the girls’ dresses by family friend Svetlana Remington.  Taken by THE purple limousine, we arrived at Sirromet for the ceremony – where there was not a dry eye in the house!  Flowers by Habitat Flowers.

The girls cat-walked down the aisle, flirting with the groomsman to follow them.    The girls started a formal procession as the groomsmen and father of the Bride carried Julia halfway down the aisle on a beautiful throne.  There she made her way down the aisle with father, Kerry on her arm to meet her about to be husband Blake!

After releasing butterflies into the air, we wandered around Sirromet to take advantage of the gorgeous buildings and grounds before the couple were formally announced at their reception in the most personalised theme I’ve ever seen!

Blakes French & Julia’s Russian heritage was blended together beautifully, with the tables named after famous French and Russian places, the cake, well WAIT until you see the CAKE by Yenmart.  Net Productions filled the reception with live video of the speeches, dancing and fun, and also played slideshows put together of Blake & Julia’s lives.

Gelati was served by Cafe e Gelato Milany during the dancing and family sang and danced the night away.

Congratulations Blake & Julia, certainly an honour to photograph your gorgeous day for you, and was a wedding I will never forget!  I’d also like to Thanks Garrison Sears & Janelle Manning for their gorgeous photography on the day as well!
