Wedding - Allison and Hayden [Geelong, VIC]
I stepped out of my car to photograph Allison getting ready for her wedding to Hayden, and I stepped in a puddle. A big old fat puddle. It had been raining all day relentlessly and I was nervous for Allison and Hayden. A few scattered showers is one thing, but heavy rain that makes your clothes stick to your skin in another thing all together.
I needn't have worried though. "There's nothing we can do about it now," said Allison as she was getting ready. She was determined not to let the rain ruin her day. Her wonderful bridesmaids were in high spirits, and Allison smiled and laughed. "I'm still getting married!"
And that she was. In absolute gorgeous style.
Allison, you are a natural beauty.
Allison's choice of footwear turned out to be extremely fortuitous as they handled all.that.mud so well.
Allison and Hayden had planned to see each other for their photographs before the wedding. I have to admit this was the one time in the day I was thankful for the rain. I know, who'd be thankful for rain, but go with me in this. We'd planned to have the photographs in a near by apple orchard, but changed our location to their beautiful stables due to the weather. And I'm so glad we did! Their stables were 100% perfect.
Allison and Hayden are very strongly connected to their horses. It made perfect sense to photograph the horses with them. These are some of my absolute favourite photographs from the day.
Their ceremony and reception was held on Hayden's parents' property. A true family celebration. The planned ceremony location was supposed to be a wonderful clearing on the property, but the rain made that plan too difficult. Guests instead shuffled inside the gorgeously decorated marque to watch Allison and Hayden tie the knot.
The lovely Sara Taylor came along to assist me. I photo-bombed her. Not very helpful Meaghan.
Let's get this part started, orright!
My love, all my love to the both of you. It was truly a magical day xox
