THREE is the new TWO
Welcome back, it has been a little while since my last posting. I thought I would return with the beautiful love story of Elissa and Michael. Elissa has had me booked in as her chosen photographer for 2 years now and has been a faithful watcher of my work, NO PRESSURE or anything! Actually I didn’t feel any pressure, I knew this was going to be a really special day, I knew the bond that was alive and well in their relationship and I knew that their two year old son Chase was going to steal the show. Today three people declared their love for each other, please enjoy.
We started very, very early at Michael’s house. Chase, the little darling offered me an iceblock to start my day….It was tempting. Did I mention how cute he is?
Michael looking sharp. Ben you did well too.
We headed over to Rydges at Southbank to see the ladies. Not even a hint of nerves from Elissa who looked very fresh for such an early start.
I couldn’t resist the lamp. Elissa you look amazing. Very Hollywood glamour in the “Marylin” dress.
Oh and here he is over at Mummy’s room ready to steal the show again.
The ceremony was at Mater Hill Holy Trinity. I have always wanted to photograph here and I wasn’t disappointed. But hey if you look at Michael’s face below we could have been in the Sistine Chapel for all her cared. He had eyes only for one thing.
Awwww.
One of Michael’s beautiful Grans and congratulations all around.
Oh hello, who do we have here stealing the limelight. Too cute.
We headed over to Roma Street Parklands for the cocktail reception. We had a little bit of rain but it did nothing to dampen the spirits or the laughs from Vivian (Best lady extraordinaire)
A bit of a groovy red wall.
Now please explain why their is a colourful cake – Mick is a gamer, not just any gamer he is a writer of some very amazing games, and he met Elissa through this. So it is only fitting that Super Mario marry his Princess and have a fab cake.
We had some hilarious speeches form all. This shot below is the reason I photograph, when people are not watching I get to see what really happens, how they interact, how they share their love in their own special little ways, it may be a look or like this the stroke of her hair and you just know.
Or it could be a special dance to seal the deal. Elissa and Michael thank you for coming into my home two years ago and trusting me for this long and letting me give you moments from your amazing day with your amazing little man. I cannot wish enough happiness for you three.
