We recently had the opportunity to photography a wonderful couple Elias & Natale.
They were married at Mor Yacoub Syrian Orthodox Church in craigieburn, the outside & inside of the Church was really interesting so we decided to take some shots there before leaving to the next location.
We headed around Brunswick and the Moonee Ponds area for locations shots. We went to a couple of our favorite spots around the areas and took some amazing images of Elias & Natale.
After location shots were completed Elias & Natale headed to the Luxor in Taylors Lakes were they joined in the celebrations.
Just got back from Las Vegas, after attending the WPPI (Wedding Portrait Photographers International) Convention, where there was great news for XSiGHT! Congratulations to Nick from XSiGHT Melbourne, with his win in both the Bride & Groom together category and the humor category.

We could have stayed photographing at Labassa all day, but we had to leave to head to Daniele & Jacinta’s Reception which was at Nine Darling Street, South Yarra.
We captured some amazing moments during their reception.
We hope you enjoy looking through some of the images from their day!
We began the day with Nigel and the Boys. The weather was perfect so we were able to use the lighting to our advantage.
After we finished with the guys we headed to where Preet and the girls were getting ready.
The ceremony & Family shots were at St Augustines, in Bourke St Melbourne. after an beautiful & emotional ceremony we made our way through the city for location shots, stopping at the Botanical gardens and then heading to the Docklands near Atlantic were their reception was being held.
Waking up at 4am in the morning to capture sunrise from the tallest building in Melbourne was worth it.
I must admit photographing from the highest point in Melbourne was pretty cool, especially when you are in a floor to ceiling glass box projected 3 meters out of the building and suspended almost 300 meters above the ground. The best part was when the frosted glass vanished and you were left with a 360 degree view of Melbourne.
The shoot was fantastic and we had great people to work with.
