The Darkroom

Congratulations to Joanne and Evan who were married at All Saints Greek Orthodox Church on Saturday 5th June 2010.

Leading up to the day we had nothing but rain everyday for the past 2 weeks, but for some miraculous reason it was the first day that the sun was showing its face, despite the prediction of rain – Phew!!

As Fivo, Bevan and Ilija arrived at Evan’s house in the morning, they were happy to see Michael, the best man’s hot red Ferrari parked in the driveway already dressed with the white wedding ribbons. With the boys very relaxed and chilled out, they started getting ready pretty quickly whilst we shot some candid photos. This was followed by some photos of Evan in the Ferrari and then serious BMW rubber burning wheel spins down the street before heading to the church – typical boys huh

Next it was time to check in on beautiful Bride Joanne and see how everything was going at her place. When we arrived, Joanne was also fairly relaxed whilst we photographed her dress. The Bridesmaids were really organised and already beautifully dressed. The girls helped Joanne into her gorgeous dress and assisted with accessories. We then took the girls outside for some fun girly shots…

As we got to the church the weather was starting to turn a little windy and quite cloudy. We were all hoping that the rain would hold a little more. Anyway…. the ceremony was as beautiful as all Greek ceremonies are. The excitement and love oozing out of Joanne and Evan was just gorgeous.

We headed off into the Rocks for the location shoot which was fun. The rain tried to disrupt us every now and again, but nothing was going to stop us from getting some amazing photos.

It was time to head back to Doltone House at Sylvania for the reception. As usual the service and atmosphere is always good at the Doltone House. The speeches were funny, emotional and overall very touching and warm. It was an awesome night with heaps of dancing including the famous Greek Zeibekiko dance (a folk improvisational dance), where all the boys get on the floor and pick up a glass of whiskey with their mouths and drinking it all down. And these guys can drink cause this went on for some time and was a lot of fun.

A BIG thank you to Joanne and Evans family and friends who made us all feel welcome and part of the family!

Love,

Fivo, Jacinda & FIVO Photography Team!

Congratulations to Chantel and Elie who were married at St Joseph’s Maronite Church in Croydon.

The beautiful day began at the groom’s house where the boys were quite relaxed while getting ready. We then headed over to the bride’s house where the girls were finishing off their hair and makeup. Many friends and family started to arrive as the bride slipped into her gorgeous gown. As the bride made her grand entrance, the groom’s family began to sing and prepare to take her to the church.

After a lovely ceremony the guests gathered all around the happy couple for a large group shot and a few family formal shots. Next we headed into the city for our location shoot at the rocks. We took some amazing photos of the bridal party then spent extra time with the newlyweds!

Before long it was time to head back to the reception which was held at the Conca Dora Reception Lounge in Riverwood. As soon as we arrived it was a party atmosphere, with drums, a live band, Irish dancers, and plenty of guests dancing and fireworks throughout the night.

We would like to say a big thank you to Ross from Cinemedia, who we had the pleasure to work with. We look forward to many more weddings together. Thank you also to Danny from Royalty Wedding cars who were wonderful and took great care in looking after the bridal party. The cars were gorgeous and the photos turned out amazing.

Have a great honymoon in Thialand!!

Lot’s of love,

Jacinda + Fivo

Congratulations to Catie and Christian who were married 27th February 2010 in the Botanical Gardens.

The happy couple were married in the gorgeous Botanical Gardens by Deborah Jenkins, who is one of the best celebrants we have ever worked with, overlooking the stunning views of the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge.

The day was absolutely spectacular and the Bride was the ultimate princess in her pretty pink gown. The theme was pink and black, and the groomsmen wore traditional suit and tails.

After the ceremony we took a few shots around the gardens before heading to the art gallery, where the magnificent architecture was the perfect backdrop for the sexy couple. Next stop was into Martin Place for some fun shots with the bridal party, before heading back to the reception which was held at the Sir Stamford Hotel in Circular Quay, a very cool place for some awesome shots.

Congratulations once again, we love you guys!

Congratulations to Wendy and Dave – Married 23rd January 2010 at St Patrick’s Catholic Church Kogarah.

The temperature was 43 degrees that day, but the beautiful couple were very cool and calm as they were pronounced husband and wife. The partying began straight away, with an awesome bridal party to keep the laughs coming. We headed back to the brides house for the traditional tea ceremony and then headed over to Sylvania Waters to a private jetty where a cruiser was ready to take the bridal party on a romantic boat ride, before heading back to the St George Motor boat Club.

Congratulations to Michelle and Justin – Married 16th January 2010 at Bass and Flinders Point.

The happy couple said their vows whilst overlooking the beautiful blue water of Cronulla below. We then took some great shots of the couple on a Chopper motorbike, before heading down to the rock pools at Oak Park for some fun! The reception was held at St George Motorboat Club.

Congratulations to Ashley and Scott who were married on the 17th October 2009 at  Observatory Hill. It was a beautiful spring day as we overlooked the Harbour Bridge. The wedding was quite intimate, and the happy couple looked amazing as they said their vows. We had a great night capturing all the fun at the Waterfront Restaurant.

Congratulations to Regan and Jay who were married on Sat 3rd Oct 2009 at the The Museum of Contemporary Art.

This was an awesome location as we got permission to shoot in the actual art gallery and then headed out around the Rocks in the rain which was a lot of fun…

Not only was this a special day for Regan and Jay, but also for us as it was our 10 year wedding anniversary on this same day too. 

We want to thank Regan & Jay for making a special mention to us in their wedding speeches which was absolutely beautiful – We love you guys a lot!

Check out some cool and fun shots we took…

 

If you have any comments we’d love to hear from you

Congratulations to Nicole & Brendan who were married on Sat 26th Sep 2009 at Roslyn Gardens.

Nicole looked like a princess as she walked through the beautiful gardens to where Brendan eagerly waited.

After the ceremony we took the bridal party near the water fountain and around the secluded areas of the garden for some fantastic shots.

During the evening we took Nicole and Brendan for some outdoor shots in the garden, which  were amazing as the lighting was quite magical, giving the gardens a different feel to the day shots.

Thank you to the wonderful team at Roslyn Gardens who were brilliant to work with, we look forward to shooting many more weddings together.

Here are some beautiful images we captured on the day…

Congratulations to Donna & Steve who were married on Sat 12th Sep 2009 in Bondi at the Swiss Grand Hotel.
