Lyle & Liz’s sweet Aussie wedding!!!

Here it is!

I mentioned last week that I was going to Australia to shoot some friends’ wedding… and man, was it even better than I expected! For everyone who wants to see the entire wedding, especially Lyle’s family and friends in South Africa, the complete gallery is now online via this link!  In the meantime, here are some of my favorites.

I LOVE it that they wrote their own vows. Evidently Liz loved it too.

Signing the marriage certificate is such a joyful experience, we should really adopt the practice into our American weddings…

I also LOVED the sandstone at the University of Queensland when we scouted out locations the day before…

I couldn’t have hired models to look this good…

Lyle and Liz, thank you SO much for flying me all the way to Brisbane to photograph your wedding! It was an absolute joy to spend the day with both of you, and watch you pledge your love and commitment for each other. All the best as you move back to Durban, prepare for seminary in the States, and consider where to go from there. You are an exemplary couple, and I’m excited to see where God leads you!
