Some couples choose a first look. Jess and Colm chose a first touch, and used that time to share their private vows with one another before their ceremony began. No audience, no rush, just the two of them (and us at a respectful distance), holding on and being completely present with one another. I'd never seen this done before, but it's now probably the best thing I think a couple could do for themselves and their connection on a big, busy, wonderful-but-often-busy wedding day.

If this is something you've been thinking about, from someone who's seen an abundance of "reveals" and first looks, go for it. There were more wonderful moments on their wedding day than I can count, but this was by far my favourite!

Good morning and happy Tuesday!

Now that the busy shooting period has died down and we're easing into the more office-based side of things, I'm reliving the abundance of the wedding season that was ✨

Glorious Jess has been on my screen in recent days - oh how I love these carefree, girlhood moments at our beautiful winelands venues!

Ending the summer season on a high with dearest Robyn and Wesley and their love-drenched, rainy day wedding celebration ✨

What a truly magnificent love these two share and what a joy it was to be allowed the pleasure of absorbing it all through their never-ending smiles, warm loved ones and the many colourful touches that brought their vivid day to life πŸ‘πŸͺΈ

I've tried several times to write a post that encapsulates what it feels like to be around Lara and Danny, and how it felt to witness and capture their love. Every version I've written has been discarded. Everything I think I might want to say falls short of the reality of these two and how they move through the world (together and as individuals), so I have to resign myself to this fact: there simply aren't words to sum them up. They're not to be summarised. They're not to be condensed into a one-liner for for social media. Their depth and loveliness will not be contained for this medium and that's probably the most important thing you should know about them. Oh ... and that their wedding photos are thrilling me to bits and today we get to share this preview with you!!!
