Sam and Carly’s day epitomises the love i have for capturing country weddings. wide open spaces, dust, last light and a gorgeous garden reception made for a beautiful day and some pretty lovely images.

Having met at univesity, unbeknown to sam and carly, their families lived only 10 mintues from each other on the outskirts of tamworth in north west nsw. it was almost like their coming together was meant to be.

there was lots of special touches from their day. they chose a “first look” before their ceremony. under carly’s suggestion they met each other at a dirt crossroads. a beautiful symbolic way to start their life long commitment to each other. it was a magical time that they shared and even had me in tears. AS SOON AS SAM TURNED AROUND TO SEE HIS MOST GORGEOUS BRIDE HE OPENED HIS ARMS AND HUGGED HER LIKE THEY HAD NOT SEEN EACH OTHER FOR YEARS. IT WAS SPECIAL AND MAGIC.

following their first look THEY EXCHANGED THEIR VOWS AT THE DURI ALL SAINTS CHURCH. a SMALL, QUAINT COUNTRY CHURCH THAT IS TYPICAL OF A SMALL RURAL TOWN. IT REALLY WAS A DAY FOR ALL THEIR LOVED ONES TO BE INVOLVED AND THEY HAD THEIR GRANDPARENTS ACT AS WITNESSES. SUCH A SWEET SUGGESTION.

tHEIR GUESTS AND FAMILY THEN VENTURED BACK TO CARLY’S FAMILY HOME AND CONTINUED THEIR CELEBRATIONS IN THE BEAUTIFULLY LUSH GREEN GARDEN. A MAGNIFICENT TRANSPARENT MARQUEE PLACED IN THE CENTRE WAS A FABULOUS WAY TO ACHIEVE AN OUTDOOR FEELING TO THEIR RECEPTION.

THERE WERE CERTAINLY LOTS OF GREAT MOMENTS FROM SAM AND CARLY’S DAY. i DON’T REALLY NEED TO SAY MUCH MORE. THIS POST WILL SPEAK FOR ME.

THANK YOU SAM AND CARLY FOR CREATING A DAY THAT WAS INCREDIBLY SPECIAL AND TRUE TO YOU X
