Selena met Steph seven years ago and fell in love. They’ve been looking after each other ever since and even though their vows aren’t recognised by the state they made them anyway on a stormy day last November. They wanted to make their dedication to each other official.
I love these individual portrait shots because before taking each of them I asked the bride to look over at her other half chatting with friends nearby. Don’t they look beautiful!
As a photographer, I approached this event differently to other weddings. Rather than the usual male-female complementary poses, I aimed to show them for what they are: two equal halves, twins, love birds. Running from one dressing room to another to capture the story of each bride preparing for her wedding was a challenge. But visually I enjoyed the lack of an awkward groom in a dark suit. This ceremony was all girl – light, pretty, feminine, soft, beautiful.
This post is a visual story of their day of love, commitment and family.

Lovely of you to stop by. I’ve been learning to trust my eyes and not the camera. Sort of. And the semi-overcast day – perfect!

Beautiful wedding! I remember that photo of the bride tying her shoe on the bathtub from flikr a few weeks back and wanting to see the rest. The whole set is gorgeous.
Thanks Carlina!
