Kristina and Con's Wedding

I recently had the privilege of photographing the wedding of Kristina and Con.  There was a lot of photography and video coverage at this one - 2 photographers and 2 videographers.  Sue started at Kristina's house at 7:45 am ... which is really early for someone like me!  So I started at the Con's house with the boys getting ready at 10:45 - at least I had time to wake up properly.  And I needed it - the boys were in high gear!  In fact, they had Harleys to deliver them to the ceremony. :)



I knew they'd be just too cool when I saw the shoes - Con and one of his page boys modeled these for me.





Con had some moments of quiet contemplation before hopping on the Harley. 


The ceremony took place at the Macedonian Orthodox Church "Sv. Kiril & Metodi" in Rosebery.  It's a very ornate church, and a wonderful place to celebrate their rich and beautiful traditions.


After the ceremony we went to a local park for family photos, then off to Martin Place and the Westin for bridal party photos.  It was my second time shooting location at the Westin - gorgeous place!


The reception was held at the Grand Roxy, Brighton Le Sands.  I highly recommend it - the food was absolutely delicious, and the service was impeccable.



Con and Kristina added a bit of drama to their bridal waltz with a smoke machine - great idea - if you don't mind all the kids at the reception running around in the smoke while you dance!  They didn't seem to mind though, and if anything it just added to the romance.
