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.
The guys:
The ceremony:
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…
Lyle and his new Father-in-Law!
The wedding party really was this fun: 
They’re in love.
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!
Off to Australia…
I’m off to do another international wedding, this time in Brisbane, Australia! My friend Liz from Australia and my friend Lyle from South Africa had a crazy idea: why not fly me down under to photograph their wedding? Well, they certainly know how to persuade me… I leave the day after Christmas.
If you urgently need to get in touch with me or would like me to bring back a kookaburra, you can always reach me by email. Otherwise, I’ll be back in early January, with all kinds of fun photos and stories from the other side of the world!
And no matter where you’re going to be spending yours, have a most merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
Joe & Michelle
Joe and Michelle braved a long drive, uncharacteristically winter cold, and a really tight schedule to meet me for their engagement photos, but we had a great time. They were the kindest couple: I’ve never had a client ask me how they could pray for me before! They love the Lord, and their joy is very apparent…
Joe and Michelle, thanks so much for asking me to do your photography, and for showing me so much love. I can’t wait for your wedding (in less than a month- wow!)
