As a wedding photographer, I have the privilege of capturing all the special moments on a couple's wedding day. It is always a joy to see a bride and groom's dreams come to life as they exchange vows and start their life together. On Tara and Jessee's wedding day, it was no different. From the beautiful bouquets to the adorable little ones dancing to Baby Shark and The Wiggles, it was a celebration of love that I was honored to witness and document.

Capturing the Bride's Favourite Part - Dancing
Ah, the dancing. The part of the wedding where inhibitions are left at the door and everyone lets loose on the dance floor. And let me tell you, Tara was in her element. From the moment the DJ played the first note, she was on her feet, twirling and snapping her hands to baby shark with the kids.
I made sure to capture every moment of Tara's dance floor escapades. From her graceful dance with Jessee and her father during the first dance and father-daughter dance to her sassy moves during the reception, it was a whole lot of fun to be involved in.
As the night went on, the dance floor became a sea of laughter, love, and pure joy. Friends and family joined Tara and Jessee in celebrating their union, busting out their best moves and showing off their signature dance moves. It was like a scene out of a music video, with people of all ages coming together to create unforgettable memories.
I couldn't help but join in the fun myself, snapping photos while bobbing my head to the beat. It's moments like these that remind me why I love being a wedding photographer – capturing not just the posed portraits, but the raw, unfiltered moments of pure happiness and celebration.
So here's to the bride's favorite part – the dancing. May it always bring laughter, joy, and memories that will last a lifetime.

As I arrived at the location for their portraits, I was greeted with the sight of not one, but two beautifully restored vintage cars who's drivers parked them for us as directed. Both vintage Holden's were incredibly looked after and shined in the sun like they were glowing.
Tara and Jessee were positively beaming as they posed with these timeless beauties. It was as if they were transported back in time, reliving the romance of yesteryears.
The cars provided the perfect backdrop for their portraits, adding an extra touch of elegance and charm. Every angle I captured highlighted not just the couple's love, but also the unique and vintage atmosphere that they had created.

From the moment the DJ played those familiar tunes, the kids rushed to the center of the stage, creating a whirlwind of excitement. Their adorable little bodies twisted and turned, their giggles filling the air as they sang along to every word. It was a spectacle that nobody could resist – even the adults couldn't help but join in on the action.
