ANOTHER WEDDING

This year has been the year of weddings...
This was our fourth wedding this year...
James and Caitlin got married the last weekend in August, and it has taken me this long to get the photos edited...
Be aware of a huge photo share this post....

Parent's of the Groom

The Boys waiting....

 This wedding was a little different to the other weddings we have been too. 
It was held in the Botanical Gardens, a lovely setting, although a little hot....

Chloe caught up with an old friend. 

I took masses and masses of photos.....

The Boys patiently waiting for the Bride to arrive.....

 Caitlin only had one bridesmaid, her sister Amy, but both James and Caitlin had friends of the bride and Groom who actually walked in ahead of her and Amy..

Friends of the Bride and Groom

They were all dressed similarly.... the girls had to wear green and the boys, a white shirt and black trousers....
Next came the Flowergirl, and Page Boy...
There were so cute....

The littlies... dropping petals as they came

 Next came Amy, Caitlin's sister and her bridesmaid.  and Caitlin and her Dad....

Here comes the Bride....

 Time to mingle with the guests....
James and Caitlin took the time out to catch up with their guests...
It seemed a little strange because their was no walking back down the aisle once they were hitched,  they just moved around chatting to everyone....

 And of course I had to get some photos of us together too...
Not often I manage to get photos of both Steve and I together...
Usually one of us is on the other end of the camera...

Photos of us....

 We had a couple of hours to spare between the actual wedding and the reception.  We had folks home for afternoon tea, as the wedding took place not far from us....
It was then out to the Heritage Village for the reception...
The reception area was set up beautifully...
A little vintage...
A little old world...

 The cake was beautiful.... It was made by one of Caitlin's friends, brother....

He really did do an awesome job with it... It had fresh flowers right across the front of it...

The decorations...

 James and Caitlin had this photo prop, so there was lots of opportunities to get photos of couples together....

 We had fun taking these shots too.
