Gemmah Shuttleworth & Sia Soliola were married at the Orange Uniting Parish Centre on Oct 17th.
They are now off honeymooning in the UK and France, where Sia is apparently slipping out between romantic dinners and backrubs, to play for New Zealand in the 2009 Four Nations Rugby League series… (Some guys will do ANYTHING to get out of shopping!)
Following are some of Gemmah’s thoughts, on their cross-cultural and beautiful wedding-

Meghann & Giles had a simple but elegant ceremony at St Mark’s Anglican in Millthorpe, followed by a reception at Turner’s Vineyard. Both are lawyers, who travelled back from a season of offering a legal aid service on the tiny Pacific island of Kiribati. (It’s north of Tu Valu, just in case that helps!)
A big part of our brief was to candidly document the guests, something we enjoy doing anyway…
Anna Murphy & Phillip Humpherys had an all-in-one ceremony & reception at Turners Vineyard Orange. An outdoor ceremony can be a photographer’s nightmare, especially on a sunny day without shade anywhere useful. (The sun is, well, harsh.) Technical difficulties aside, the affection between these two was more than evident, and a total joy to document.
After the ceremony we nipped off to a nearby farm for a bit of country style shooting fun, before heading back for their reception.
Nicole Stojanovic & Andrew Caro’s wedding was a day of epic moments. True, all weddings are- for those with the eyes to see them, but a couple of this day’s were a little more obvious than usual.
For instance- Andrew took to heart the idea of giving his new wife a wedding present, and despite everyone else in the bridal party being in on his plans, the secret was kept till the very last moment!
