Sweetheart session - Nicole and Paul

Nicole jumped out of her car and hugged me. My face lit up into a gigantic smile and I hugged her back.

We had never met.

Yet it didn't seem strange to welcome each other in such a way. Nicole has a way of making you feel so comfortable and so special at the same time.

Paul stepped out of their car too, and beamed. I could tell that what I was seeing from Nicole was one of the very reasons Paul loves her so.

Paul and Nicole met on Nicole's first day of university. She was arriving at her new dorm for the first time, and Paul was there to help her with her bags. One week later and they got together. That was eight years ago now, and they're getting married.

Paul is an adventurer at heart. He's lived and worked in a myriad of different countries, including a recent posting in Laos. 'You can never stop travelling," he said to me, advice which I'm more than willing to follow.

Nicole admitted that she wasn't one to dream about getting married when she was little. I wasn't like that either so I could see where she was coming from. "But Paul and I talked and talked and talked and talked. About everything. Everything. Something in me changed, and I knew I wanted to get married," said Nicole.

2011 is going to be Paul and Nicole's year, and it's going to be sensational.

I'm so glad Paul and Nicole walked into my life and in front of my camera.

Wedding - Karis and Jeremy [Geelong, VIC]

Karis came home for her wedding. Back to her childhood home, her old bedroom, her old things. She and Jeremy have made their home in Melbourne, but came back to Geelong where Karis grew up for their wedding.

'It just made sense,' she told me.

Much like Karis and Jeremy.

They just make sense together. The world makes sense when they're together. Their lives make sense when they're together.

This is but and 5th of their record collection. I ran my fingers along the spine to hear that noise it makes.

Jeremy had a very good game face. He gave little away before the ceremony. If he was nervous, he didn't show it.

The girls' dresses were, simply put, incredible. They also had the power to make the owner want to twirl and twirl and twirl.

I asked the fellas to get ready for me to take a shot of them. So they did, and with no prompting from me, walking towards me with their coat jackets over their shoulders like they were in a Boyz II Men video. Gold.

Karis and Jeremy's reception was held at Geelong's Truffleduck. This place is perfect.
