Museums with Giant Globes and Backlit Alleyways

I do love a winter wedding! I know its crazy chilly, but the light! Oh my, the light! I was stoked when Corrine and Nathan booked me for their stunning winter wedding, and the day was just magical!

Corrine and Nathan's ceremony was held at the always beautiful Newcastle Museum and was decorated with dreamy cascading flowers and a ribbon backdrop. It was just divine! And the ceremony was so heartfelt, bringing a tear to my eye while I was shooting. After the ceremony ended and we finished the family photos, we made our way into the museum for some portraits. first stop was the big inflatable Globe. I have had in my head for a long time, and image of the couple dipping under the giant earth with their bridal party running circles around them. I am so thankful to the bridal party for agreeing to help create this image. It turned out exactly as I had envisioned it! It took a number of goes to get it just right, but I was stoked with the results. And the bridal party got a good cardio workout in the process. Thank you to all of you. You helped bring my vision to life, and I apologise if I exhausted you all!

After a few more shots around the museum, we made our way outside to utilise the big doors across from the museum, always a favourite, and then hopped in the cars to head to Hunter St for some more portraits. First stop was some bridal party portraits on the steps of the old post office, and then I took Corrine and Nathan into Le Passe Temps for a few more portraits. A big thank you to the venue for allowing us in for 5 minutes! The rest of the portraits took place in front of an awesome door that I have always loved and a little alleyway nearby that had some fantastic light streaming through! Corrine and Nathan were perfect to work with, they knew just the right way to pose with barely any instruction, you guys made my day so easy!

After driving through some crazy rain and the start of a large storm, we arrived at Brown Sugar in Warners Bay for the reception. It was lovely and warm inside, with gorgeous lighting and beautiful personalised movie themed touches on all the tables.

Thank you so much to Nathan and Corrine for having me there to share your day. You made the day not feel like work at all. This is why I love my job! And thank you to the bridal party and all Nathan and Corrine's family members for making us laugh all day and making us feel so welcomed.
