Karen and Damien | Beautiful Hawkesbury DIY wedding

Karen and Damien were one of my gorgeous couple that had to reschedule their big day due to the first wave of covid restrictions early last year. After much rescheduling of all their awesome vendors they managed to pull their day together on a November sunny spring day. It was simply a beautiful day filled with lots of love, laughter and happy tears from all their loved ones there. Watching their daughter run down the isle to her daddy would bring a tear to anyones eye.

Their celebrant, Kate Eloise, was fantastic and I loved how she had really taken the time to get to know Karen and Damien, she was able to joke around with them and it was like she was a friend rather than just their celebrant. Their ceremony was held at a local spot in a national park where they often go on walks and fishing with their family and then the reception was held back at their property. The catering was superb by Radish Events and all other touches were styled and created by Karen herself. Karen looked spectacular in her Stella York dress (who doesn’t love a dress with pockets!) and her hair and make up was done by the uber talented Wye Bridal Hair and Makeup.

Ziggy | Hawkesbury Newborn Photographer | Relaxed and Natural newborn photography

Baby Ziggy and his adorable family are a fav from my back catalogue. Another one I should of share more of but then life got in the way. Ziggys big bro is the perfect example for all those that are worried the older siblings may not be super happy about the session. He was certainly wary of me in the beginning but relaxed with time as most tend to do. My advice would be not to ramp it up to much before the session for them so they don’t feel any pressure. At the end of the day I won’t be making them do anything they don’t want to do and I have certain ways of getting them near where I need them to be. I strive for all sessions to be relaxed and fun and most importantly tear free!
