Fflur and Kevin’s Gorgeous Gold Coast Wedding

It’s a wedding! One of my favourite things to photograph.  A bride, a groom, flowers, decorations, fun stuff and fun times as well as a tear or two throughout the day.  (Sometimes it’s even the bride that cries, not me!)

Kevin and Fflur’s wedding was a wedding like no other.  It was a family that came together to get everything done, from everyone who was slightly crafty chipping in to make gorgeous paper crane decorations, Fflur making the bouquets herself (you’ll see the amazing work she did), to her Mum and Aunty making cakes and trifle for the lunch buffet and wedding cake.  So many of Kevin and Fflur’s friends and family were involved in the making of The Wedding.  Everyone worked so hard to bring Fflur and Kevin’s dream to reality.  And I have to say, from what I saw even behind my camera, they did exactly that.

 

Fflur has always reminded me of a 1920’s pin-up girl.  Movie posters, old Hollywood glamour.  And she looked exactly the part on the day.  The jewels were to die for, and check out those eyelashes! The epitome of glamour.

 

Apparently Kevin is a tad forgetful…. We loved the sweet notes Fflur left him to remind him of where everything was and what not to forget.  (and shhhh, he may have forgotten something….)

 

The dashing Kevin has always reminded me of a very eloquent dashing pirate.  He happily admits to being a geek and proud of it and I just love that they incorporated both of their personalities in every aspect of the day.

 

Fflur and Kevin planned to see each other and arrive at the ceremony together.  It was really nice getting to capture such a special moment, especially the instant where Kevin first saw Fflur looking amazing and the emotion.

 

This bridal party was completely AMAZING! Gorgeous shades of red and purple and such fun to photograph.

See those strings of paper cranes decorating the arch?  Well, there were thousands of those little guys.  And there were bigger ones.  And more little ones.  And even more little ones.  Each one hand folded and made with love.  You’ll see the detail of the cranes in a future post.  They were so beautiful, colourful and I instantly fell in love with all of them.

 

A teeny glimpse of the truly spectacular handmade bouquet made by Fflur.  The bouquet was only outshone by Fflur herself.

They exchanged their vows under the branches of a gorgeous camphor laurel tree.  And the weather was perfect, not too hot and it didn’t rain!

The groomsmen played some awesome kazoo after the ceremony as Fflur and Kevin walked back down the aisle.  Kazoo!

 

Kris stole Kevin away for some photos while Fflur was busy having fun dancing and mingling…

Oh I love this shot.  And it’s one of mine!

 

Did I mention this bridal party were great fun?  They really hammed it up for the camera and this was their Zoolander pose!
