Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney Weddings
A tiny but intimate wedding which took place halfway across the globe in our beautiful garden in Sydney Harbour. Erika and Stephen decided to fly all the way to Sydney just to have a Sydney Wedding. I was contacted by Erika via email, we had never met but she trusted me to document the most important day of her life. She told me it was a small affair, just her, her fiance and two friends. She wanted some beautiful photos in front of a place she never visited but only saw in photos. The Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney was the place she had chosen to take her vows. She didn’t want me to pose her in any way, all she wanted was me to be an observer.
34 hours later, they touched down in our shores, jetlagged, but so excited to be here.They arrived on a 44 degree day, nearly 40 degrees warmer than their home town. I met with them and they were so happy to be here a day before the wedding.
The Tarpeian Lawn was the scene for the wedding, just like in the postcards. The Harbour Bridge, Opera House were just nearby. The lads were in their Scottish kilts, looking handsome and dapper. The bride, well she looked absolutely amazing. Having a small ceremony really makes things so special. I was one of only 6 people who witnessed the ceremony, so I felt extremely priviledged to be there.
The day started off like it was threatening to rain, but just as the ceremony ended and they were signing the registry, the sun came out like it was on queue. It just lit up the entire sky and topped off what was already a wonderful day. Afterwards, we walked around the Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney and found some beautiful scenery to take photos, and off to the Sydney Opera House. The Scots had a date with a helicopter for their Sydney Harbour tour to cap off their already magical day.
Here’s a small story of the entire day in photographs.
