Some weddings just pull at your heartstrings. The wedding of Rebecca and Nathan pulled on mine big time. Maybe its because it reminds me so much of our wedding(tiny ceremony with a big party a few months down the road) or because the bride did such a wonderful job planning such an intimate celebration with family and friends. Plus, the photos from Tealily Photography are just divine. Rebecca was kind enough to share some details behind their wedding…
nathan and i were married in november of last year in a tiny ceremony on a thursday. we’re both quite shy so it suited us perfectly but we still wanted to celebrate in some way with our families and friends who couldn’t be in attendance. we live in the blue mountains which is about an hour and a half out of sydney, however, we chose to hold our celebration in the city and stayed a few days.
we didn’t have a theme or “wedding colours” so we started by picking wheat as a motif. it is symbolic of eternal life, nourishment and fruitfulness. after a few months of searching i found a bakery large enough to throw our dinner party in and i couldn’t believe how perfect it was! we also carried the bread/wheat motif through to the invitations and nathan’s braided wheat wedding band.
Stay tuned for their beautiful reception coming up next!

While at WPPI last week, I had the opportunity to meet up with so many wonderful photographers including one our advertisers, Davina + Daniel Photography. Not only were they the sweetest couple, but I was incredibly impressed by their passion for photography and love for what they do. If you can’t already tell from the images below, both Davina and Daniel know what they are doing behind the camera. Their images are fresh and full of so much life. Its almost like you can feel the love and joy happening in that very moment…
Even though this amazing couple is based in Montreal, they are available for travel all over the world. To see more of their beautiful images, check out their website and blog.
All the elements from this shoot came together to create just the right combination of girly playfulness. I love the unexpected color palette of coppers, pinks, and blues, especially with the beautiful meadow for a backdrop.

How much do you love the streamer installation Kelly created for the ceremony? Not only does this idea take me back to grade school memories, but it is incredibly easy to execute and inexpensive. So sweet!
