shaun and candice 19th november 2007

shaun and candice celebrated their beautiful wedding with the magnificent bunkers bay as a back-drop. shaun planned all aspects to perfection and with amazing detail, even though the morning of the wedding brought rain and severe winds...he managed to persist with their plans. and candice - well..candice, being with child, was truly the most stunning, radiant bride we have ever seen..

an ocean theme was chosen as they both love the geographe bay region and because candice is a marine biologist!...how cool is that??

here is her exqusite gown, which she only chose the week before...very nice choice...

both candice and shaun designed their individual wedding rings...


here are the lovely shoes...of both bride and groom...






and shaun's spunky shirt...





lovely bouquet






a intimate gift for candice from shaun, depicting the love of the ocean...





a very special invited guest to the nuptials!



a few portraits of the glowing bride...
















hey - fancy finding a handsome groom here too...shaun and candice chose to arrive at their ceremony together which meant we were able to shoot some charming images...









love this proud look from candice's mum and dad...





and a laugh from shaun's mum...



on the way to the beach via the boardwalk...





here comes the happy couple...with a break from the rain at just the right moment...



a few images during the romantic beach ceremony...



this image is definately billboard material...simply stunning...love it...





















a group shot of the wedding party just as the waves were rolling in - perfection....



one of my favourite images...




back at the lake at bunkers bay resort







one of candices favourite locations is sugarloaf at yallingup...but the wind was so severe, we had to sit candice down in fear of her flying away off the lookout...






shauns best steely gaze...

















candice and lyndal share that special "sister" bond and their love for each other is always apparent, as is their ability to "work it" for the photographer...








back on the beach on the way to the reception for a few more ocean images by request...we hope you love these, shaun and candice, as much as we do...


























including this images was a definate - the fellows from down south luxury limousines not only include water spritz for the bouquets, chilled champagne, groovy music, general humour but also a fluffy dustbrush to clean sandy feet!



a quick stop at the vineyards at the entrance to wise winery and a group image of the fellows!




its hot, past normal lunch time, she has been driving for over an hour, and still the lovely candice is glowing...




happy girls...under a pretty tree...




and a kiss under the pretty tree...



need a wedding cake - chose sugarmummy from dunsborough...even our awesome images dont do this gorgeous cake justice...





wise winery is a spectacular location for a wedding reception, fine food, divine wine, superior service, superb staff and a magnificent view over geographe bay, only interrupted by lush green vines...



love the little glass starfish gifts from candice and shaun to their guests, following the "i love the ocean by candice" theme...



did i mention how beautiful the flowers were?...


or how handsome the groom is...


or how truly truly in love shaun and candice (and baby!) are...


we then persuaded shaun and candice to join us on the lawn and the deck for a few more portrait images...i'm so happy they agreed...













candice, you are the sweetest and kindest bride we have ever met, your smile is immensley infectious...we believe that what draws people (including the most handsome and happy shaun!) to you is an inherant longing to possess what you give freely - love, generosity and compassion...we thank you both for choosing us to share in your incredibly beautiful day, and are extremely honoured to be your invited guests. wil - you are the first person to formally mention and thank us during the speeches - woo-hoo - we felt enormously privileged and greatly flattered - thank you...
half time cadbury leaderboard (yes..i am a dedicated "dancing with the stars" fanatic!)...mike wins hands down with the dancing deck image and the ring shot - did you see how beautiful that was!!!!
