Over the years I’ve worked really hard to tell the true story of the wedding day for my couples, and nothing makes me prouder knowing that the work i’ve done is appreciated by the Sydney wedding community. I am happy to say that Rachel and Reza’s wedding was selected by the editor of Easy Weddings to be featured on their website easyweddings.com.au

I was touched by Rachel’s story and how brave they were to overcome the bumps along the way in order for the wedding to happen.Thanks to easy weddings for choosing my wedding photography sydney to feature in their website.

Love that binds: Rachel and Reza’s NSW State Library Wedding

Rachel Huggins met Reza Manji at a difficult time in her life and credits her long-time partner with helping her through it.

“My mum was very sick and unfortunately passed away later that year. Reza was a constant support,” Rachel, 29, says of their first year together. “What may have broken up other couples only made us stronger.”

Reza, also 29, proposed after more than a decade together while the Sydney pair were holidaying in Kingscliff.

“We wanted a natural yet elegant feel to the day,” Rachel says of planning their big day.

There were a couple of bumps in the road, however, including having to change the date. “We ended up pulling most of the wedding together in seven weeks and we still ended up with a wedding that we loved.”

In searching for a unique venue, the couple found the State Library of NSW. “The Gallery room at the State Library was perfect as we were the first couple to be married in this room,” Rachel says. “The library also provided a perfect backdrop for the timeless and elegant photos we had in mind.”

The couple held their beautiful state library wedding on August 29, 2015 in front of 115 friends and family. The reception was held at The Pavillion on the edge of the city’s botanic gardens where guests were treated to an elaborate dinner and live music well into the night.

“I fell in love with this room and its stained-glass windows as soon as I saw it,” Rachel says of their ceremony in the Gallery Room.

Rachel’s gorgeous gown was sourced from Jean Fox & Fox Bridal Group.

Rachel and Reza have known each other since they were 15. “We got together 12 years ago after we finished high school,” the bride says. “We come from very different backgrounds… but somehow manage to complete each other.
