Marlis and Russell are one of those couples that are just FUN to be around.  They had one of the cutest first looks of all time, and they both live in Australia, so how could they not be cool?!  (Along with the Australian accent, Russell and his family were also SUPER excited to see squirrels, which totally made my day.  They were as excited about squirrels running around the Fine Art Center grounds as we would be at seeing koala bears outside a wedding reception!  Who knew that Australia doesn’t have squirrels?)  They are such a happy couple with a gorgeous sense of style and it was a privilege to capture their beautiful wedding!

Marlis had so many great accessories–lots of them from her mom and grandma!

The adorable first look I was telling you.

It’s usually the candid ones I love the most.  I just love these two shots of Marlis from our simple walk back to the house!

I love Nic’s angle on this wedding party portrait!

The ceremony was beautiful.

I love the series of shots I captured right after the ceremony.  I think they capture the bliss of being newly wed!

Marlis’s sister’s toast was so sweet.  I love it when the toast giver can’t get through it without crying!

Poor Lucy–we had to reschedule her portrait shoot twice before the weather cooperated!  But the delay was well worth it–we had absolutely beautiful light as we tromped around a construction site and ditch that I’d been wanting to use (I’m a sucker for those tall yellow daisies)!

Sometimes I lie and say I’m just playing around with my settings when really I’m catching awesome expressions like this one!

Something super soft for fun:
