garrit and agnes 3rd november 2007

we travelled to busselton for the glorious wedding of agnes and garrit...with the ceremony at the historic wonnerup house. agnes is originally from seychelles, a country made up of 155 islands off the coast of africa, arriving a couple of years ago and her beautiful son clint arriving recently. agnes met garrit when her washing machine broke down...and the rest is a love story...
aggie chose this most amazing colour for her wedding gown...


the stylish arum lily bouquet - which i discovered is a native flower of africa!
sparkly jewels

and individually designed shoes...


the rings...

beautiful, smiling, glowing agnes...

aggies family came from seychelles (their first trip to australia) for the wedding...here is her stunning mum...


we were in love, love, love with aggies captivating smile...here are a few images...





and the spectacular bridesmaids - all 5 of them!!




aggies brother travelled across the seas to give her away...

just had to include this image of this little fellow who just wanted to be part of the whole wedding deal - until the ceremony when he became very bored and played games with the photographer...
garrit and agnes included clint in the ceremony by presenting him with a wedding ring also...very sweet and a real tear jerker for this particular photographer...

garrit and his fellows...sharing a beer or two...


agnes and the ladies, sharing a glass of champagne or two...

and then there were three...

mother and son...


a few portraits at wonnerup...under the 100 year old tree...

and at the adjoining forest...





we then raced to the beach and jetty for a few beach images before the reception...






the cake was AMAZING...5 tiers and white and dark chocolate, beautifully decorated complete with a life-like aggie and garrit on top!

here is the star wedding singer...


and a tender moment during the bridal waltz...

agnes and clint grooving on the dance floor...


love this photo of this little guy, what else do you do at wedding reception but hide behind a bunch of balloons...

thank you agnes, garrit, and clint for inviting us to share in your amazing day and being able to meet both of your incredibly nice families...wishing you many happy days together as a family
competition scoreboard: kylie - 1, mike - 1 even steven...mike loved my images of agnes...and i thought the little boy and his balloons is a classic!
