portrait creative shoot! my favourite time… when we get to bring all these beautifully dressed people and play! photos first at Wilson Home gardens – then we went to Devonport’s Mount Victoria and had so much fun (maybe a little too much fun) with the veil in the wind…

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.
