The wedding of Katherine and Michael, February 7th 2009.

Every wedding has something about it that makes it unique. For Katherine and Michael it was their personal touches that set it apart.

When Alex first met with Katherine and her mother, Lyn, he was excited about how down to earth and lovely they were (and they even had a cuddle of our twins, Ewan and Angus). He knew then that it was going to be a great wedding to shoot and he wasn't wrong.

The boys were great and had a bit of fun tying windsor knots and made for a very handsome and amusing group (but let's not mention the night before... ;) ). After the boys photos we headed of to Coolibah Downs at Nerang on the Gold Coast to shoot the girls who were getting ready in the homestead there.

We were greeted with smiles from all the girls then went to shoot the brides dress and were amazed with how beautiful it was. It turns out that Katherine had drawn up the design herself and had it tailor made just for her and it was perfect. She was a vision in a flowing mermaid style gown with some beautiful lace and crystal detail (which flowergirl, Milly, found interesting). The maids dresses were an apple green colour and complemented Katherine's dress to a t.

The ceremony was held in the little private chapel on the grounds of Coolibah Downs and all photos were taken within the resort. It was an intimate group of family and friends who shared the day and partied on with them into the night. A highlight at the reception was the unique cake that was also designed by Katherine.

We would like to thank Katherine and Micheal for inviting us to be a part of their day. It was a great way to kick off our weddings in 2009. I got a little excited when editing so there are a few more photos in the slideshow than usual.

Congratulations on your marriage and all the best wishes for the future.
