Vanessa & Marcus Pereira – Wedding

Hey guys! Been awhile since I last posted so here’s one for you guys from a wedding last Sunday :) I was the second shooter at this wedding which meant I could do anything I want so I brought my Hasselblad Xpan film camera along! I only shot 1 1/2 rolls of film so I will have to finish up the second one before I send them off to the labs.

The day started out in the morning at Vanessa’s parents beautiful home followed by the ceremony at the Hunter Baillie Memorial Presbyterian Church. Built between 1886 and 1889, this church was the tallest in NSW for over 100 years until the twin spires of St Mary’s Cathedral in Sydney were completed in 2000. Bridal party photos was next so we headed out to The Rocks and then Observatory Hill where we had the most amazing light and a beautiful couple to work with :)

Later that evening we took a stroll through the Royal Botanic Gardens to the Botanic Gardens Restaurant where the reception was held. It was a great end to a wonderful and well planned wedding. I have to thank Vanessa and Marcus for having me there alongside Gemma Clarke to photograph their union. We had such great weather with sunny blue skies and slightly cool weather which is great for us photographers to work with :)

Here are some of my favourites and highlights of the day! Don’t forget to CLICK the photos to view a larger version!
