Shiny Kombis, Colourful Chairs and an Electrical Storm

Sam and Matt's big day was held on an extremely warm October afternoon at Woodville School of Arts. The boys got ready in Maitland while the girls got ready at Sam and matt's house with their cat keeping watch over the whole mornings proceedings.

Due to the heat and intensity of the sun, the ceremony archway was moved under the trees down the back of the School of Arts. The ceremony was beautifully decorated with an assortment of mismatched chairs and a timber archway. there ceremony was so heartfelt and I found myself wiping away both sweat and tears from my face. after the ceremony had finished and we all got some much needed cold water into us, we set of on location. Our first stop was Woodville Bridge where we had to contend with traffic to get a few rather windswept photos on the bridge. Off in the distance we could see a storm brewing and the occasional bolt of lightning. From there we set off for a few locations around Largs and Morpeth before heading back to The School of Arts for the reception. Since the temperature had now dropped and everyone was still outside keeping cool, we decided now was a perfect time to do the family photos before having a quick munch on slider burgers before entering the reception.

The reception was set up with the guests sitting at long rustic tables in a horse shoe shape with rainbow chairs tucked underneath and gold mason jars full of babies breath sitting on top. In the corner was Matt and Sam's cake covered with hundreds and thousands! Yummy! The heat inside the school of arts was quite intense so guests were really utilizing their mason jar mugs with colourful cocktails from the help yourself bar. The food was woodfired pizza and it just kept coming! And it was oh so delicious! Outside the hall, the thunder rumbled and the lightning flashed some of the most intense bolts across the sky that I have ever seen! Eventually the heavens gave way to a massive downpour and half the guests moved outside to cool down in the rain. Once the storm had passed, it was back to the dance floor for some loud singing and stomping before Sam and matt made their exit under the shimmering sparklers held up by their freinds and family.

Thank you both for such an awesome day! I had a blast working with you both!
