Civic Park Wedding – Susie & Ricky

  • Susie & Ricky

    Civic Park Wedding

    Bride leading groom on merry jape

It was a gloriously sunny day for Susie and Ricky as they hosted their Civic park wedding ceremony up on the hill above the maid grassy area nearby the Sferas Convention Center. They had originally planned to hold their reception only to put that on hold for later in the year until the COVID threat had quietened a bit.

Despite their little postponement of their reception, this happy couple still made the most of their shorter day with gusto!

Preparation

Ricky and his best man was prepared at the family home nearby. I arrived as they were playing a few last video games – which is always a great start, and then we moved on to more usual things like cleaning mirrors while trying to tie ties 🙂

Susie and her bridal party were prepared at one of the suites at the Sfera’s Convention center in which they had a grand view over where their Civic Park wedding ceremony was being set up overlooking the little creek area at the center of the entire park.

I arrived just as the girl’s makeup was almost done, which is great as then I’m able to make the use of the time taking phtos of things like dresses and shoes, etc.

Susie spent some time in during her preparation on two special moments – the first being a first look with the handsome man who walked her down the aisle, and the other with her flower girl – to which Susie gifted a fluffy white cat toy, which the little girl wasn’;t overly keen on at first but came around to it 🙂

Civic Park Wedding Ceremony

Susie and Ricky’s Civic Park wedding ceremony took place under the shade of the gum trees that line the dry creek area that adorns the top of the path way that wiggles it’s way through the center of the park – while lined with grass. The path connect’s the Tea Tree Plaza shopping center and Sferas.

Being set up here was wonderful as Susie and Ricky’s guests were therefore protected by the harsh sun, as opposed to the poor other wedding ceremony that took place on the main grass area just after theirs.

Their ceremony itself was a lovely simple affair, with private in jokes based on a variety of popculture references which made a different small portion of their congregation chuckle at different times throughout.

Glamour Photos

After coaxing everyone out on the grassy hill for a group photo using the drone – so as to socially distance – We made use of the rest of Civic park for a few glamour photos before heading across the road to the Solandra Wetlands for a few more.

As the sun was super bright, my main goal throughout was simply to use as much shade as possible to bring some sun flares coming through and making the scene super pretty. It was however fairly early in the day – so this was a little tricky, but the beautiful surrounds of the foliage available still made for some lovely shots.

Thanks so much to Susie and Ricky for having me as your wedding photographer! I’m so sorry that wouldnt be able to cover your reception on your new date! But I hope you enjoy the photos taken on your wedding day!

Sferas Reception Center Wedding – Liz & Dan

  • Liz & Dan

    Sferas Reception Center Wedding

    Inside a weeping willow

The Sferas Reception Center was the backdrop for Liz and Dan’s family oriented wedding on a sunny day in early November. They made use of Sfera’s little on-site chapel and went for a walk in the nearby reserve for their photos before retiring to the Starlight room also at Sferas for their raucous reception party! The dance floor was hardly seen all night!

Preparation

Before the big day though, Dan and his boys got ready at the family house, along with Dan’s beloved dogs who wanted to be in all the photos too! Once the boys were dressed we went for a bit of a walk around a nearby park for some glamour photos while looking all smart 🙂

Liz and her bridal party were being prepared in a room at the Largs Bay hotel. I always love heading here for preparation photos as the historic nature of the hotel is a fantastic backdrop for preparation photos, and allow for some grand scenes both on the balcony,. and using the awesome staircase rising through the middle of the building.

Sferas Reception Center Wedding Ceremony

The Sferas Reception Center’s little on site chapel is large enough for small to medium sized congregations, and for Liz and Dan’s family oriented ceremony, it was the perfect size. As it was a nice, sunny day the little room was illuminated beautifully and the sweet little ceremony was over before I’m sure they knew it! 😀

Glamour Photos

Once the family photos were out of the way, we began the glamour photos by having the bridal party follow us through the manicured gardens right next door to the Sferas Reception Center, before heading across the road to the nearby reserve, where it’s turning out to be one of my favourite trees for having wedding photos shot under! There’s a huge, wonderfully shaped weeping willow right across the road, a short walk away from Sferas that I just love using whenever I’m shooting a wedding in the area!
