REAL WEDDING - BRIANA & RICHARD
Like Briana & Richard I have always loved the idea of a family wedding celebration...very Father of the Bride i know!! When we met to discuss the plans for their day it sounded so classic, timeless & sentimental and the outcome was exactly that. Real Weddings are featuring a 4 page story in their current Style edition and here is a lovely behind the scenes peek at some of our favourite moments captured by SugarLove Weddings.
The bride wore a stunning strapless couture gown with matching bolero by Steven Khalil
The bridal preparations took place at the Sheraton on the Park
The cutest little attendants (love the belts & cameras!!)
The couple chose St Philips for a traditional church ceremony.
Groom, Richard with his groomsmen pre ceremony at St Philips.
Briana handmade the paper flowers that adorned the church pews
The couples photo shoot & all-white reception to follow took place at a private family residence in Darling Point. Briana's aunty arranged the magnificent fresh flowers.
The locations for our shoot were endless...manicured gardens, private harbourside sandy beach, historic house. It truly was a paradise lost in time and a divine place to shoot.
Simple was best outside with the natural stone urns and archways embellished for the occasion with most areas left a la natural.
Briana's Dad looked after most of the preparations and planning for the private reception. Described as a dynamo and the only person who could capture the vision of the couple, the result was breathtaking.
The marquee overlooked Sydney Harbour & was the perfect setting for the couples reception. Antique lamps, french chairs, white roses, iron chandeliers and view to die for.
The bride enjoys a brief moment with one of her bridesmaids pre photo shoot. The weather was picture perfect.
White roses & candles everywhere - simple & classic!
The dining room is dressed for small groups & guests start to arrive. The canapes are served & groomsmen enjoy a laugh on the harbour.
One of my favourite SugarLove shots of Briana from the day.
The couple & their bridal party outside one of the historic buildings.
The delightful Briana & Richard share some private moments together for our team.
As the sun went down and the lanterns were lit it was time to party under the stars.
Even the little ones enjoyed a dance under the moonlight.
Briana & Richard enjoy their first dance together as husband & wife. Our video team at White Designs also covered the day in Signature DSLR style.

I love these church photos, the lighting & leadlight has a yellow cast which is interesting for photography & video coverage. The whole feeling of the church was very regal, perfectly suited to the style of Briana & Richard's day.

Here in Australia we are surrounded by water...soon it will be the start of summer & we will all spend many hours splashing in the pool, surfing at the beach, jumping under the outdoor shower & chasing the kids around the backyard with the hose...many of us try and drink 8 glasses of water a day and it would not be uncommon to hear someone say "I'm dying of thirst"..... If you're like us you dont spend too much time thinking about water, we take it for granted as its everywhere we go. For almost a billion people on the planet its not!!

REAL WEDDING - SARAH & ALLAN
Two years ago today we received a phone call from a bride named Sarah who wanted to talk about her wedding taking place in Tuscany in September 2010. An in-house meeting took place two days later and instantly I knew we would be working together and that outside creating extraordinary moments on stills & film we would become great friends.
Sarah & Allan chose a beautiful villa in Tuscany called Bagno a Ripolo to spend a week with family & friends. It gave them the perfect time to spend precious moments with guests who had travelled from all over the globe to be there.
Sarah's dress was a showstopper by Melissa Sweet (Priscilla of Boston/USA)
The couple chose the historic setting of San Gimignano for their ceremony which took place in the town hall. Every corner of the village was a photo opportunity.
Allan & his groomsmen (including brother Stevie) arrive for the service. Suits by Prinzi Collections (Melbourne).
Finally after 10 years the moment of "i-do" was one filled with excitement & applause.
Our photo shoot started outside the town hall in San Gimignano.
Congratulations took place in the cobblestone courtyard.
Being an art director, Sarah appreciated the option to shoot some of the day on medium format film....for celebrity portrait photographer/Bradley - a dream client!!
The family enjoys a wander around the village and a rest pause for gelato.
This is one of my favourite shots of the day. Sarah's dearest friend from the US cut all the tiny pieces of coloured paper to make confetti for the magical shot.
Loving the black & white on our Mamiya. "Please don't spill the gelato guys!!"
When Sarah first showed me her creative direction mood boards for the day I was gobsmacked. The Alice in Wonderland meets Philippe Starck' theme was like nothing I had ever seen.
One of our favourite moments on film with Sarah & Allan.
Everywhere you looked in the gardens there were treasures.
Hand picked books were placed amongst the furniture and artworks.
The trees were filled with hanging lanterns, poetry & ribbon.
A cosy nook for a luxurious afternoon rest or a poetry reading perhaps.
The gardens & styling at the 16th Century Villa were filled with antique Italian furniture, flowers and artifacts. The brief was that nothing was to match, candles had to have been burnt with dripping wax, the florals were not too placed. It was the perfect way to capture the atmosphere of an opulent celebration that had been continuing on for many days.
Frames were hung from the branches and mirrors reflected the candlelight.
An antique chair was perfectly positioned with dripping wax, others sit proudly throughout the estate.
Vintage table & rocking chair were set up near the dining marquee.
Closer to the marquee green ribbon was used to hang over a dozen white lanterns.
Guests enjoyed cocktails & canapes accompanied by a live jazz quintet whilst the couple had some last minute photographs under the moonlight.
Some special family portraits for both Allan & Sarah's families.
The bridal party had an amazing few days together exploring the local region with traditional pizza making class, Fiat driving tour through the Tuscan hills, grape crushing & wine tastings.
An elegantly modern setting for the guest book located near the villa.
An imperial dining table was designed to host the elegant seven course dinner party.
The gardens under candlelight was a fairytale setting.
Sarah chose to incorporate three colours into her styling - poppy, baby blue & chartreuse.
The long banquet table set for 50 guests was decorated with wild flowers & candelabras.
All artwork & place setting designs by the bride, Sarah.
The entrance to the secret garden with enchanting view from the villa.
Without a doubt this will be historically remembered amongst our SugarLove & White team as THE most amazing crew table ever. The couple ensured that dinner was served throughout the night on this huge antique Italian table with plush seating fit for royalty.
The entrance to our own private dining table for the evening - quite simply "wow"...
The couples choice of preferred caterers were Convivium Firenze
Speeches were emotional and full of the sentimental stories of the incredible journey Sarah & Allan endured before persistence & fate would bring them back together.
The groom's brother Stevie presents Sarah with a beautiful wedding gift.
The dessert table was super special, red & taupe awnings hung from above over a feast of divine sweet treats. The table was positioned as the perfect link between the marquee and dancing area within the villa.
Sarah & Allan enjoy their first dance with the band as husband & wife.
And lastly one of my favourite intimate shots from this incredible journey we were invited to travel on - Sarah & Allan together under the marquee in Italy. If you would like to see our video produced from Sarah & Allan's wedding visit the "Signature" link at our White Designs site.

The villa & vineyards around the Chianti region were stunning.

From the entire SugarLove & White team we wish Sarah & Allan the sweetest of success and happiness for their life together moving forward, B & L xx
