Well…..she got her cool Australian surfer and he got the the most beautiful girl in the world!

Liz and Rusell were set up on a blind date and as they say….the rest is history! They tied the knot last weekend in a moving ceremony at the gorgeous Guildhall in Bath and the smiling (and crying!) faces say it all.

They both really wanted to spend a little bit of time alone, so after the wedding, and with their guests kept amused with Prosecco and a beautiful river trip, we headed off to capture some photographs of the two of them before heading back to the Bathwick Boatman for an intimate, relaxed wedding reception.

Being from halfway round the world, Russell’s family unfortunately couldn’t make it to the wedding but this Saturday, in Australia they will be doing it all over again. I hope you both have another wonderful wedding day and a fabulous honeymoon and I am VERY jealous that I’m not there to photograph it for you!!

Russell, I hope your family enjoy the photographs and it gives them an idea of just how gorgeous your wedding in Bath was! I look forward to hearing all about the it (and seeing the photographs!) in a few weeks.

Liz’s gorgeous garter…..

Beautiful shoes….

Russell and his ‘attendants’ looked very handsome….

And very relaxed….!

I always feel so honoured to be allowed into the ’sacred’ dressing room and capture intimate moments like this….

Wow, wow, wow…….isn’t she beautiful…

A very proud father and his daughter….

Toni, Liz’s matron-of-honour looked stunning too….

I love this photograph not only for the look on Liz’s face but her Dad, and her two sons behind….

The ceremony was very emotional…..

I had real trouble choosing as they are all gorgeous but I particularly LOVE these images of Liz….

Liz and Russell had total faith after our first conversation and booked me as their wedding photographer without meeting me. Liz spoke about how nervous they both were about their photography and how they loved the idea of a pre-wedding shoot. Well…..looking at these…..I really can’t believe it guys!!

Liz had put lots of effort into gorgeous black and white themed details….

Relaxing at the Bathwick Boatman….

And time for a few more ‘nautical themed’ photographs….

I love ‘pushing the boat out’ for for my wedding clients and all credit to Liz for going along with my mad suggestion!! I have to say I have never been so nervous than when she was getting in and out! I think it was worth it.
