Last weekend we photographed Jo and Craig's wedding held at the Garrison Church in the Rocks, followed by their reception at Argyle Cellars.

Our couple of the day stayed at the Rendezvous Hotel which made it very simple for us to capture both Jo and Craig's preparation for the day. Mention must be made to David Novak-Piper, Jo's Hair and Makeup artist, who did a fantastic job. For those of you still looking for a hair and makeup artist, send a message to info@saxoncole.com and we'll send you David's details.


For the last few weeks it seems as though Sydney's weather has been taunting our brides to be, but our couple was blessed this weekend with plenty of sun and not a drop in sight until they took their first step into the reception. I don't think it gets anymore perfect than that.

Jo's entrance into the Garrison Church was greeted by a lovely string quartet while family and friends watched eagerly as she made her way down the aisle. Before we knew it Jo and Craig were officially husband and wife.

Many thanks to everyone that made the trek up to the top of Observatory Hill for the group shot. I'm sure that it meant a great deal to Jo and Craig to have a photo of everyone in attendance.

Shortly following the group photo, Jo and Craig wanted their photos taken around the back streets of The Rocks in Sydney so a short walk led us to some interesting locations that provided some great texture for backgrounds as well some interesting old Sydney architecture that set the scene for a very classic and intimate wedding.

The reception greeted our couple with plenty of cheers, and even more confetti. Craig's two "little monkeys", nephews better known as Conor and Tom provided an endless supply of confetti which more or less ended up in Jo's hair.



Thanks to Jo and Craig for making it such an enjoyable and fun day for the team and congratulations on a beautiful wedding. Job well done guys - now go honeymoon :)

Dexter and Ella's wedding

Last weekend was the wedding of Dexter and Ella. The team was very excited to shoot Dexter and Ella's wedding as he gave us complete creative control for the day with his photography. We had concerns that it would rain Saturday but it turned out to be a clear sunny day and we watched as Dexter and Ella were married in the beautiful surrounds of the Royal Botanical Gardens.

The team consisted of myself as lead, Carla and Jeff. Congratulations Dex and Ella on an amazing day, and for making it fun for the team to shoot your wedding.

Ella laughing because Dexter and I had just shown her how to strutt her stuff, mind you she did a much better job of it in the end than her husband and I

Below are some of the shots that we came out with at the end of the day. Big thanks to Dominic for providing backup shots (I've accepted that you're a Nikon user - and yes we can still be mates) and Carol for following us around and helping out holding Ella's things while we took her around the city.

Dex and Dom, I look forward to shooting with you guys one day, keep in touch!
