ryan and natasha - 4th april 2009

 handsome ryan and  goddess natasha were married at millbridge on a warm sunny morning…

this sweet couple own and operate healthy notions at eaton fair - call in say hello - they love to chat!

tash was never going to be a “frou frou” bride - until she went gown shopping :)

one gorgeous gown - check

beautiful, unique details - check

AYFKM???? one hot bride - check - see what i mean about the goddess? is there any other word that suits???

 

 

 

waiting at millbridge, ryan was all smiles and nervousness…

the ceremony was lovely, with both mums reading verses, and everyone cried…yes, including me…:)

we headed back to the mantra for location shots…heres mike and his swanky new tilt shift lens..

and tash and her frou frou :)

the fellas enjoying the posing…

hubba hubba

mikes tilt shift again

and this one too - this was leading the comp at this stage…

the mantra has incredible lighting - all soft and glowy

the boys and their shaft - sorry tash - they made me take this…

with only a small intimate bridal party - as in 2 - there was loads of time and no rushing - and they were really really nice people, thanks guys! :)

we then begged the lovely manager at the reception to allow tash and ryan behind the counter (just very briefly) for these incredible jaw dropping images…

both taken by my man mike - gotta love him :)

 

it was nearly time for lunch and we drove back to millbridge for a little “greenery”

we asked goddess tash to do a “sassy walk and twirl” - yep - check…

and if you were in any doubt about the sassiness…:)

time for a quick kiss before leaving…

back at ryan and natasha’s beautiful home, the delectable amorish were cooking up a storm of culinary delights…yum-mo!

ryan and tash have this enviable treasure trove bookcase…i stared and drooled for hours…and one guest said he considers their bookcase better than the library…

nice ring shot babe…:)…seriously kicking my arse today…

the back garden was all pretty with lanterns in the afternoon, and the beautiful cake (created by the very clever maria at dolcetti) took pride of place…

…the booth was the bomb (again) and tash provided scissors for her guest book - created interesting pages of collages

light was fading fast as we set up the slideshow…

and we headed off just as the “older guests” were also leaving - leaving ryan and tash’s amazing circle of dear friends to celebrate until the neighbours start complaining…

first time the booth and us have arrived home at sunset!

ryan and tash, we send heartfelt thanks to you for inviting us to share in the celebration of an amazing love story…

we were welcomed like true friends into your loving group of family and friends…

(it was extremely hard for mike to refuse the cold beer from lots of blokes!)

we are so pleased you relaxed and chilled on your honeymoon away from the busy-ness of the shop…

wishing you both happy times in your bright future

p.s. mike certainly made his new mates proud by achieving first place :)

sanctuary wedding expo

if you are tired and oh so over the stormy weather - our side fence is! - swing over to the sanctuary wedding expo tomorrow.  free entry, 10 till 4, lots of new exhibitors and we will be there!

with a million thanks to the most incredible prue (must be spoken with a kath and kim twang) from gigi and lulu, we have had a makeover!

 

 

new logos, brochures, products, albums, displays - heck - i even bought a new skirt and we both had a haircut!…(thanks gorgeous caitlin at luxe)

check out prue’s amazing talented designs here at her blog site…

and because no post is complete without pictures, here is daisy captured on a winter sunday afternoon for her fourth birthday…
