Because there is not alot of opportunity for romantic photos of the couple during a traditional Hindu ceremony,

We always like to take the couple to Roma St Parklands www.romastparkland.com  for a more intimate photo shoot.

With Claude in a suit and Sangeeta in a more casual sari, they were able to relax more.

Yamma & Oliver’s Wedding day

Filed under: Yamma & Oliver's Wedding day — Helen @

Yamma & Oliver’s wedding was held on a blustery winter day at Sheraton Marina Mirage Resort www.sheraton.com  on the Gold Coast.

We arrived to find our groom all ready and waiting. He was a little nervous so we loosened him up by taking him for a walk to do some shots.

 128.jpg

1561.jpg

When we met with Yamma she was dressed in a traditional chinese dress for the tea ceremony.

 043.jpg

Oliver came to collect his bride but not before being tested with a few games.

 060.jpg

After the tea ceremony, Yamma changed into a beautiful white wedding gown. As we made our way to the ceremony we took some shots of the stunning bride along the way.

 2171.jpg

230.jpg

Due to the looming rain, the ceremony (spoken in both english and chinese) took place inside.

 272.jpg

Thankfully the rain held off long enough for us to take the newly married couple to the beach, where we captured this breathtaking shot.

 361a.jpg

An intimate moment between the happy young couple. 

 3531.jpg

We continued to wander around the resort before heading back to the hotel.

382.jpg

Yamma and Oliver joined their guests at the reception for a delicious buffet dinner.

Thank you Yamma & Oliver for sharing your Wedding Day with us.  Your Wedding Album is absolutely beautiful and I will be putting it up here very soon.
