St Casimir Church Wedding – Maristella & Romualdas

Maristella and Romualdas’s special day in mid-February was nothing short of magical. It all began in the heart of Adelaide, with preparations unfolding at the Watson Hotel, perfectly situated for the day’s events. The anticipation in the air was palpable, a blend of excitement and those last-minute jitters that make a wedding day all the more memorable.

The choice of St Casimir Church for their wedding venue spoke volumes about Mari and Rom’s connection to their church, creating a deeply personal backdrop for their vows. It wasn’t just about the location; it was about embedding their roots into the start of their journey together.

Preparation

Rom’s morning was filled with laughter, camaraderie, and a few quirky moments that captured the essence of the day. The gift from Mari, a custom basketball, was a hit, sparking an impromptu session of fun among Rom and his groomsmen. Even in these moments of light-heartedness, there was a sense of the profound step Rom was about to take, surrounded by his closest friends who were more than ready to support him.

One particular scene that stuck with me was the care taken to apply sunscreen to one of the groomsmen, a small but touching gesture of camaraderie. It was these little details that painted a picture of the day’s atmosphere – full of joy, anticipation, and a sense of unity among Rom and his party.

Mari’s preparations were a contrast of emotions and beauty, set against the stunning backdrop of Adelaide’s city skyline. The room was abuzz with activity, yet there were moments of stillness, especially as Mari read Rom’s letter. The emotional depth in these quiet minutes was profound, a testament to their love and the journey they were embarking on together.

The first look with her father was a highlight, a moment filled with love and pride that I was privileged to capture. It was a reminder of the familial bonds that weddings celebrate, not just the union of two individuals but the joining of families and histories.

St Casimir Church Wedding Ceremony

The St Casimir Church wedding ceremony, with its unique layout and intimate setting, posed a creative challenge for capturing the ceremony. Yet, it was these very characteristics that made Mari and Rom’s wedding ceremony unforgettable. The narrow chapel, with pews hugging the walls, created an incredibly personal and close-knit atmosphere as the couple exchanged their vows.

The ceremony was a beautiful blend of tradition and personal touches, with intimate readings that echoed through the church’s halls. Witnessing Mari and Rom’s vows in such a historic and meaningful venue was a highlight of the day, a testament to their love and the importance of their heritage.

Glamour Photos

After the ceremony, we transitioned to capturing the essence of Mari and Rom’s relationship through glamour photos. The Himeji Gardens on South Terrace provided a serene backdrop, although our time there was brief. The real adventure began at the Kooyonga Golf Club, where we spent the majority of our session.

Zipping around on golf buggies, we explored the vast beauty of the club, finding perfect spots for photos. The golden hour light at sunset was a photographer’s dream, casting a warm, glowing light that perfectly complemented the love and joy emanating from Mari and Rom.
