REAL WEDDINGS MAG - ASK THE EXPERT
Thank you to the wonderful REAL WEDDINGS Mag who interviewed us for their ASK THE EXPERT column online now....
Leigh Taylor, co business owner of Sugarlove Weddings shares her expert advice on achieving beautiful, timeless Wedding Photography.
Leigh Taylor, co business owner of Sugarlove Weddings shares her expert advice on achieving beautiful, timeless Wedding Photography.
How did you start your business?
SugarLove Pictures was started by my husband (Photographer/Director BRADLEY PATRICK) & I in January 2000. We spent the first few years focusing on his commercial work within the Arts & Entertainment industries and worked regularly between Australia & the US. It was via the request of many high profile clients in these areas to cover their weddings that we saw the growth of SugarLove Weddings.

What is your style?
Timeless, emotional & spontaneous moments captured in a relaxed unobtrusive style is often the way our work is described by SugarLove clients. Our personal business approach combined with a high level of ongoing support and "love" that starts from the very first meeting to the final collection of albums is widely regarded as one of the added joys of working with SugarLove.

Our personal business approach combined with a high level of ongoing support and "love" that starts from the very first meeting to the final collection of albums is widely regarded as one of the added joys of working with SugarLove.
What is your business and/or creative philosophy?
Our philosophy is based on integrity, passionate client management & an appreciation of being invited to share one of the most important days of your life with our clients. An all encompassing love for the art of making beautiful images "both still & moving" drives the SugarLove & White team.
What sets you and your work apart?
There are many things. We dont feel couples should have to purchase an album to be able to book the very best photographers in the business. For the majority of clients, our packages with albums are fully inclusive so there are no hidden extras after the honeymoon. We keep the business & creative sides of wedding photography separate for clients at SugarLove. Each couple are working one on one with their own account manager to ensure no detail is missed prior to the day, the photographers can then concentrate on what they do best (capturing the amazing images we are hired for) and our clients are overjoyed to receive their images anywhere from 2-6weeks after the event instead of 3-6mths.

What is the process for a bride and groom to work with you?
We would suggest the first step would be to have a good look through our websites SUGARLOVE WEDDINGS & WHITE DESIGNS. Our blog is also a great place to find out more about how we work, where we work and who we are as a team. Next step would be to either phone or email with your wedding date and location information. We can then either send you our packages to consider via email, set up a skype chat (if overseas/interstate) or make a meeting time in our stunning 2storey showroom in the picturesque Woollahra located in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs.

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.

TEN YEAR WEDDING RENEWAL
Most of our regular blog readers will know me as Mrs SugarLove and you may also know that I married Mr SugarLove on the 10th November 2001. Well next week we are flying to QLD to renew our 10 year wedding vows with each other, our children and their grandparents and we can't wait!! Still totally undecided on the dress which means I am having flashbacks to 10 years ago when i changed my dress just 2 weeks before the big day and begged the most amazing designer Helen English if she could make me another in time.
You see the problem is this time there are too many options - to do the traditional white summer dress (or) something fun and tropical... to do short (or) maxi? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated with the 8 day countdown......yes thought i would make the 10year planning a little more interesting than the wedding day x

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.
