and finally – the party! such an amazing venue, Duders of Devonport… hidden away on the first storey above the street shops, this amazing ballroom has to be seen in person for full impact. the decorations complemented the decor and the reception was a huge hit with everyone 🙂

hehe – my shots from their engagement session shoot

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.

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