Amanda & Mark – soggy, but MARRIED!

It was raining.  There I said it.  Really raining.  But I assured Amanda and Mark that as long as they got married, nothing else mattered.  It seemed like the initial disappointment was quickly overshadowed by the excitement of the day.  You can’t plan the weather, but you can certainly make the most of it, and that’s just what we did!

The wedding was held at beautiful Ngakuta Bay.  A comfortable and relaxed kind of occasion, surrounded by friends and family.

MA4

Grace did the make-up, beautifully, as always.  Thanks Grace!

MA5

Meanwhile Paul is with the boys in Picton getting ready.

MA1

I love Mums at weddings.  I’ve probably said it before, but the photos with a Mum in it make me stop and look just that little bit longer. 

MA2

Beautiful!  Amanda, you looked amazing!

MA7

This is Amanda’s Mum.  This was just after she said that she hoped that everyone didn’t mix her and Amanda up, thinking that perhaps they were twins.  I love it.

MA6

This was as the boys were arriving. 

MA8

Everyone needed a look!

MA9

How stylie are these girls?

MA10

Amanda’s reaction to seeing her groom.

MA11

This image makes me happy.  Mark was saying his vows, and had to turn away briefly as the emotion got to be a bit much. 

MA12

Carol Taylor saved the day.  The rain meant that the beautiful outside wedding, was now a marque wedding.  She quickly arranged everything beautifully, as if that’s just how it was supposed to be.  Thanks Carol!

Then off down to the shore, and it rained.  And rained some more.  Mark was totally fine with that, he had just scored a wife!

MA13

We totally made the most of the rain.  No point in letting it all go to waste!

MA14

Marvellous scenery!

MA15

Possibly the coolest boys wedding shoes ever?  I reckon.

MA16

Add to that the hot pink girls shoes, and you’re onto a winner.

MA20

These guys are so cute!

MA17

As Mark was trying to get under the veil, he exclaims “Now I can totally see why dolphins get caught in nets!”  Favourite quote by a groom.  Ever.

MA18

I love veils.  That’s just how it is.

MA19

Totally awesome at following instructions.  “Be cool and serious” click “Now extremely happy, go!” click

MA21

This is Chevy the dog.  Chev is Amanda’s baby, totally.  Although I thought she was calling him Jeff, which would have been a good name too.

MA22

Mark, totally cool.

MA23

Before we went into the marque for the reception, Amanda popped upstairs to freshen up.  Here she’s doing the royal wave.  She’s got it down.

MA24

Paul’s dedication to get the shot.  Gotta love it.

MA25

Worth lying on the ground for?  Totally.

MA26

He had so many great shots, I have to put in just one more…

MA27

Then onto the speeches and dinner.  Everyone was perfectly happy.

MA28

Cheers guys!  (notice Chev on Amanda’s lap there?)

Amanda and Mark, thanks so much for letting us share your day with you.  What we lacked in sunshine, you made up for with your amazing attitude and everyone’s ability to have fun.  Can’t wait to show you the rest!
