the wedding ceremony at Devonport’s Wilson Home Chapel was quite intricate – there were several unusual rituals which were observed: among which was the lighting of the unity candle with flame offered by both grandmothers; and the laying of the fine lace prayer shawl. several people spoke and there was a song accompanied by the bride’s uncle on guitar and harmonica.

and LOOK how long Jane’s wedding veil is – believe it or not: that’s the SHORT one!

it’s finally here – Jane & Rafael’s wedding day blog! such a beautiful wedding… everything perfectly themed to the last detail in soft pinks, peaches, golds and creams – and yet looking so effortless. classic and modern, simple and intricate – so many paradoxes 🙂 can you tell i loved it?? hehe

i will break this into a few posts because there’s too much to share in a single one – so here’s “before” – they got ready in adjoining rooms at Devonport’s Esplanade Hotel, and sent each other gifts and messages – but did not cross paths until they reached the church. there were SO many photos in this set, but i could only choose a few…

the wedding was out of town, and Julia & Stan spent the past 2 hours in the car – but you’d never know it. they emerged from the vehicles looking amazing, and we spent a lovely hour or two under the trees at Cornwall Park and One Tree Hill.

here’s my favourites…
