A little country romance….wedding of Vanessa and Nicholai on the 22nd October 2011.We were off to another destination wedding this past weekend….to the not so little country town of Toowoomba. Toowoomba really is a beautiful city and the perfect location for a romantic country wedding.

We had a busy afternoon on Friday 21 Oct travelling all over Toowoomba to scout out the locations which Vanessa and Nicholai had chosen for their special day.  These guys were super organised so certainly made our job a lot easier

The big day finally arrived for Vanessa and Nicholai on Saturday 22 October 2011.  We arrived to meet up with the girls at Vanessa’s family home and found the girls to be very relaxed.  Vanessa is a really really nice person and it wasn’t long before we felt like we’d know the girls for years – not just a few minutes.  We were all even having a little giggle at poor old Nich who was obviously nervous……he was sending his gorgeous bride to be text messages confirming how they should do the big “kiss”.  Sorry Nic,  we just had to share this pic – it was very cute!

Vanessa’s Mum and Dad were very accommodating and her girls were just fabulous.  A big thanks to Natalie for all her help with the dress, shoes, flowers etc etc.

Having already visited Preston Village Chapel the day before,  we already knew that the ceremony location would be just gorgeous for this special couple’s nuptials.  The Chapel was relocated to its current location many moons ago and they have done an absolutely perfect job at restoring the old girl.   A gorgeous location indeedy.

Nic was a little nervous when we first arrived at the Chapel but lets face it,  who doesn’t get a little anxious when they are about the marry the girl of their dreams   Poor Nic even had to run back to the Chapel as his bride to be was on time (maybe even a tad early!)……not fashionably late as tradition might expect.

After Vanessa and Nic had said their “i-dos”,  we were off on our little adventure to capture some stunning location photos.  Location photos are always heaps of fun and its even better when you have an awesome couple to shoot.One of the most memorable spots for us was certainly the historic Royal Bull’s Head Inn.  This pretty old lady was build way back in the 1850s and some of the rooms are still in their original condition.  We decided this place would be great to have a play with the styling of the photos and Vanessa and Nic were keen to go with our ideas of posing the way it would have been done all those years ago.  Very formal and no smiling…….which was very difficult for Nich who kept cracking us up! So there were a few “not so traditional” pics in there too

As we always say,  we are so honoured to be part of such a special occasion in people’s lives and when you love what you do – its the best job in the world.

To Vanessa, Nic and your wonderful families…..thanks so much for allowing us to capture the essence of your special day.  We hope that these images help you to relive your wedding day memories for years to come.    May your married life be filled with much love and laughter.

Enjoy your sneaky peek….
Nigel and Tina
