Annabel from Belathée Photography was there to capture Libby and Greg’s wedding that took place on the other side of the country in New York. The bride’s dress was absolutely gorgeous with flower and ruffle details along the top and around the bottom of the skirt. I feel like anything baby’s breath has a tendency to receive such a bad rap, but when used with restraint it can be absolutely beautiful like in the bride’s bouquet below. Plus, it is very inexpensive!

The lovely ladies over at Belathée Photography sent over this bi-coastal affair that consisted of a rustic farm engagement party and then a sweet wedding over in New York. Dorothée (one half of the Belathée team) was in Oregon to document this family filled party complete with croquet and colored pencils…
Libby and Greg’s charming New York wedding is coming up next!
I’ve got a sweet engagement party and real wedding lined up for today, but first wanted to introduce another sponsor we’re fortunate to have here on Once Wed, Razvan Photography. Here’s a little bit from Razvan about why he loves wedding photography…
I love to travel and I will go anywhere in the world to document the love between two people. I love it when someone looks at my pictures and empathizes with the subjects. My goal is to offer my clients beautiful memories. I do full day of the wedding coverage because I believe that there’s a beautiful story to be told with every wedding. And I like to tell full stories.
I love being able to start the week off on Once Wed with a gorgeous real wedding! Jennifer and Bill were married in Idaho and it was all captured by the talented Jesse Leake. You can tell it was one of those days filled with laughter, love and family. All the sweet details only added to the charm. Everything from the paper goods to the creative flower-filled arrows from Chestnut & Vine came together to create such a lovely rustic wedding.

I get so happy when I see sweet and simple weddings that come together with such elegance. That’s one of the many reasons why I love this gorgeous Australian wedding from the talented Glen Allsop. Oh, and how lovely is the charming headpiece that the bride helped design for her big day?
I wore an incredible silk gown encrusted with glass beading by Australian designer Collette Dinnigan, it was the first dress I tried on! My head piece was made by a local milliner and we designed it together to compliment my dress. Bradley wore a classic black Zambesi suit with RM Williams boots and my beautiful bridesmaids wore gorgeous green frilly frocks by Aussie designer Lee Matthews.
For the wedding cars we borrowed a vintage EH Holden from a good friend of mine as I have a real soft spot for classic Aussie cars however we were still in need of a second car. One afternoon Bradley came across the perfect EJ Holden in a supermarket carpark and left the owner a note to see if they would be interested in hiring it out, they owner was stoked and her boyfriend was our driver on the big day!
Bradley and I were searching for the perfect outdoor location for our wedding ceremony and living by the beach this was the obvious choice. However, we chanced upon an amazing fig tree on a silky green lawn beside a creek in Pittwater – we were married there and the wooded forest made for the perfect green cathedral. I was quite fussy about the type of flowers we all carried, as I wanted them to feel like fresh picked garden bouquets. My friend’s mum did the flowers and she really captured the feel I was after and the huge Australian native arrangements at the reception venue were just stunning. I collected all sorts of vessels for the flowers from op shops around Sydney to enhance the eclectic feel of our wedding.
Our photographer Glen Allsop truly captured the spirit of our wedding day – the photos are amazing! We trusted Glen to deliver a unique and beautiful repertoire of photographs and the enchanted images of our special day will ensure the memories remain alive forever.
