Camille & Chris
21 March 2013
Bathers Pavilion - Balmoral Beach
An Absolutely incredible day, it was the week that had every season in every day. The skys clearing at the perfect moment for this early February wedding. The day began within the compounds of Chris’s very soon to be father in law’s home inspired completely of a traditional Japanese home. Such an incredible sight to see.
The Groom and his groomsmen all donned their glorious Herringbone black tie suits before we headed for the beautiful home of Camille and Chris where Camille was to get ready for they day. Camille looked amazing and wore a stunning Monique Lhuillier gown with beautiful lace Oscar De La Renta shoes.
The ceremony and reception were held at the stunning venue of The Bathers Pavilion, right on the beach of Balmoral. The view here is truly breathtaking! The ceremony decorated and framed beautifully with floristry by Mr Cook, and the reception topped off with a luxurious cake by Hello Naomi.
We’d love to hear your thoughts on the photographs, so let us know in the comments below!

Alexandra and Anthony
It’s hard to beat good old country wedding glamour and Alexandra and Anthony’s Tumut wedding was every bit glamorous and every bit country. The country hall was decorated with glittering chandeliers, the beautiful country church held it’s charm with simple, beautiful touches and the guests celebrated under a star lit sky.
Of how they met, Alexandra says, “We met 12 years ago at a friends 18th birthday.”
gm photographics captured Alexandra and Anthony’s wedding. I love gm photographicsclassic captures- beautiful, traditional and oh so elegant.
Alexandra and Anthony chose St Stephen’s Uniting Church, Tumut for their marriage ceremony. Alexandra recalls, ” I had grown up in the St Stephen’s congregation, so it was a very special place to be married.”
