Brett and Geoff

Saxon Cole are proud to present their first gay wedding.

Brett and Geoff approached Saxon Cole a few months ago as they felt that they wanted someone a little different to photograph a ceremony that was in itself a little different.

We gladly took Brett and Geoff on as our clients and we soon found that creatively we worked very well together in realising the vision they had for their day.

Brett and Geoff had a ceremony to celebrate their commitment in the Chapel at Little Bay overlooking the water south of Sydney.

Their reception was held at the regal Victoria Room in Darlinghurst where high tea was served for family and friends. Brett and Geoff had a very classic, decadent feel as the theme of their day, and so in turn we tried to communicate this through our photos.

Brett and Geoff are two of Saxon Cole's biggest supporters and they've been great friends to the team and especially to my wife Reg. Getting to know you guys has been a privilege and on behalf of Gus, Felix and I we're thankful you let us photograph your day and entrusted us with our creativity for your wedding.

Congratulations guys - you're a class act.

Wil, Reg, Gus, Felix .. and Porscha.

As soon as we knocked on Geoff's door to greet him in the morning - the first thing he said was a very defensive - 'I've just had a Wild Turkey!!!!'. Needless to say Geoff was a little nervous first thing in the morning - luckily, I was there to assist with Geoff relaxing over a few drinks before we took some photos.


Heading off to get married



This was taken just moments before Brett and Geoff were to see each other for the first time on their wedding day. They were only inches away from each other and you could see how anxious and nervous the two of them were knowing that the other was just around the corner. This is probably one of my favourite photos of the day.



Gus makes for a great model when I'm trying to nail the exposure for a scene, he also happens to take decent photos too ..

Brett and Geoff dated a lot at Betty's Soup Kitchen and wanted their pictorial taken there as part of their day. This is not the first time Felix has been seen laying down on the pavement of Oxford street ...

The token boy band photo. Ray at the front, long time friend of Brett and Geoff was the comic relief for the day. When you're ready to take us to New Zealand for your wedding Ray let us know :)


A lovely token of the day...

What a truely glorious day! Such class ! The wedding party looked divine as did the parents. Especially Dorothy (Bretts mother) who looked gorgeous and deserves lots of praise for losing over 50kgs!!! Geoffs mum looked divine also. And darling Danielle looked stunning!! She done the boys proud!

Now the photography ~ that was the best I have yet seen ~ That team work so well together. I felt like I was a movie star the way they made every one feel special ~ and the most fantastic shots! Royalty wouldn't get better. Well done all.

And to Brett (my nephew) and Geoffrey We wish you years of love and happiness ! Aunty Nett & Uncle Pat xoxo

Wil - this is really great work - I already LOVED the photo of them before they saw each other, but love it even more now because of the story behind it.

As an aspiring wedding photographer (my first tomorrow ....eeek) I'm glad to have found your work!

So many different themes, the dark tea party room, the beach photo's, the striking large bows on the cake, the take away shop where you dated.....so beautiful. All the stories in the blob of your committment.....so moving. Great job Saxon Cole on the photos and well done to Dorothy for your weight loss.
