SHARALYNNE + ANDREW'S WEDDING AUGUST 26th

As I drove to Sharalynne + Andrew's wedding on a beautiful crisp winter morning I noticed there was not a cloud in the sky, just perfect blue. The wedding was taking place on Queensland National Heritiage Park Mt Tambourine. It took a good hours drive from the South-side of the Brisbane River. The road was winding and seems like a perfect sunday drive surrounded by lush green trees and canopies of branches over hanging the road to the top of the mountain. The place was busy with tourist having a picnic at designated rest area as well as taking the opportunity to stop and peer across the Great South East from lookouts and from the side of the road.

As I arrived at the hotel where and Andrew was getting ready I could see how excited the day was going to be he had a beer in his hand to keep himself calm and focus, with encouragement from his best man to see him through the new challenge that Andrew was to go through with his future wife Sharalynne. As the Groom and the Best Man where all looking great we all made our way to the Ceremony and where the Reception was going to take place at Lisson Grove Cottage. The place was fantastic containing self contained little english cottages, with beautiful manicured lawns and tall hedges to keep the privacy away from the road.

As I took photographs of the place the guest where making their to the ceremony area as they were great with smiles from the waiters and waitress with fine assortment of strawberries, platters of chesse and champagne as well as red and white wine. There was also acoustic music playing in the background which filled the reception with execitement as the guest and the Groom and his Best man waited anxiously for the Bride to make her appearance. Sooner as the guest arrived the lush green foliage of Lisson Grove was sprinkled with a dash of rain as the umbrellas were like seed pods piercing through the undergrowth to bring the new day.

With a sprinkled of rain a warm mist hovered throughout the ground and Sharalynne made her appearance. The guest quickly took their seats which were covered with white satin and laced ribbon... and the story continues.
