Nicole & George's Wedding Ceremony was at St Paul's Cathedral.

After the Wedding Ceremony in the beautiful historic Church we did some Wedding Photos with family and friends.
Being right in the centre of Melbourne's CBD, there were so many great options for Wedding Photography Locations.

We started off with a couple of spots around St Paul's Cathedral, then went for a walk to get a few different locations
and looks for the Wedding Photos. The Wedding Photography Locations were;
St Paul's Cathedral, Federation Square, Flinders Street, The Forum Theatre, Hosier Lane for some Grafitti Shots,
147 Collins St, The Old and Rare Bookshop on Collins St, The City Square and finally Lagoon Pier in Port Melbourne for
some Wedding Photos on the beach.

The reception was at The Manor on High in Epping. The Manor on High has a reputation for exceptional quality,
and yet again we were pleasantly impressed. Beautifully furnished facilities, fantastic food, what more could you want?

Congratulations Nicole & George! It was such a fun day!

Preview Online: Wednesday the 23rd of February 2011

Jenny & George's Wedding day sure was Fantastic! After preparations in the morning there were some great traditional events.
The lovely tradional Orthodox Ceremony was at St. Anthony & Archangel Michael Church in Oakleigh. As there was two of our Wedding Photographers on the day, it gave an extra opportunity for a range of different Wedding Photos.

As the weather has been unpredictable for the month of February, to say the least, we sure were greatful for the non stop sunshine and wanted to fit as many Wedding Photography locations as possible.

With only a few short hours before the reception we started out with some shots out the front of the church.
The team then went into Melbourne's CBD for the follwing Wedding Photography locations;
Tram tracks on Collins St, ANZ Building on Collins St, 333 Collins St, GPO which is located right in the centre of the city on Bourke St, Port Melbourne Pier, Port Melbourne Beach and finally Fawkner Park.

Family photos, great food, traditional music and dancing made the reception at Merrimu Receptions in Murrumbeena an excellent evening.
