A Vintage and Handmade Fairytale

When Ashleigh and Tristan booked me to shoot their wedding I was so excited! Everything Ashleigh was planning sounded like an amazing vision that belonged on Pinterest, and all the vintage and handmade quirks were right up my alley.

On the 19th October, I arrived at the beautiful Tuscany Estate to start shooting Ashleigh and her bridesmaids getting ready. Zoe had headed off to meet with Tristan and the boys at Lochinvar at Tristan's parents house. The girls were so cool, calm and collected, with a bit of dubstep playing off an iPhone in the background to get them pumped up for the day. Ashleigh had so many beautiful little details, there was so much to work with! She chose to keep her dress hidden, as her bridesmaids had not yet seen it, and it wasn't until the last minute that the stunning sparkling and fluttering gown emerged from its bag. I think everyone was in awe of it!

The boys were waiting nervously up at the ceremony location and there was not a cloud in the sky! Down the aisle was cute little mason jars full of flowers provided by TLC Designs. After some very heartfelt vows and the sealing with a kiss, the ceremony was over and Tristan and Ashleigh were now Mr and Mrs!

After some family photos, Ashleigh and Tristan jumped in my car and we headed off on location to do some portraits. We had the perfect light, with just a nice amount of sun flare (which anyone who has worked with me before knows I get very excited about).

The reception was just getting started when we arrived back at Tuscany, with everyone excitedly waiting on the arrival of the new Husband and Wife. Stunning, quirky details of books, candles, mason jars, fresh flowers and vintage cameras filled the room, every one with its own unique touch (also provided by TLC Designs). After meals, some hilarious speeches that had even me in tears everyone made their way to the dance floor to party to the as per usual, awesome tunes of XYDJ!

What a fantastic day! Every little detail, and the love between Ashleigh and Tristan was just magic. I would gladly shoot their day all over again, just so I could take it all in again. Thank you both for having me there to share your day!
