Convents, Muddy Puddles and Fireworks

February 15th was yet another drizzly day, but I was so pumped as I headed out to one of my favourite venues, Peppers Convent, to photograph the wedding of Jim and Jodie. Merindah headed upstairs to photograph the boys getting ready, while I made my way to the confrence room, where the flower girls were getting their hair done and photographed all the beautiful details while waiting for Jodie to arrive back from the hairdresser.

Due to the annoying drizzle that kept coming and going, the ceremony was moved onto the dance floor at Roberts Restaurant, rather than being out in the garden, but it was no less beautiful, and Jim and Jodie's smiles radiated throughout the undercover area, making everyone cry with happiness (including the handsome page boy). Jim and Jodie's ceremony was full of small rituals and Greek traditions, like the wearing of Stefana.

After the ceremony, we spent some time around the grounds of Peppers Convent and Roberts Restaurant creating some beautiful portraits. Many laughs were had, particularly when several of us needed to stand over a floor air conditioner to cool down (it really was quite muggy with the rain). We then made our way back to Roberts Restraunt for the reception, which included stunning decorations, an awesome dessert bar and fireworks! In the process of running around excitedly photographing fireworks, I managed to trip myself over in a rather deep, sloppy, mud filled puddle. But the photo I got in the process was so worth it! Jim and Jodie, you were such fun to work with! Thank you for being so welcoming to us. And also, thank you for allowing us to share some of the delicious sugary goodness from the dessert bar. I still think about the salted caramel fudge that got away...
