Leighton and Lauren were married at The Tea Room, Gunners’ Barracks<\/a> on Sunday. They had a very beautiful wedding on one of Sydney’s steamiest days! The humidity was never going to stop a wonderfully organised day from going ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the great thing about what we do is the participation in these very happy and cherished moments. It is an undeniable privilege to be involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was an early start given their mid-morning wedding timing and the girls were in full preparation mode when we arrived. Lauren had three bridesmaids which included two Kristen’s – Kristen One, her sister and Princess-of-Honour, was helping out with a bit of sewing, and Kristen Two was doing all the girls hair, and quite beautifully too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The non-Kristen bridesmaid is Amanda. Amanda gets married to Amos later in the year, who, co-incidentally, was one of Leighton’s groomsmen in addition to his two brothers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That made for a really happy wedding party, in that everyone is so obviously close and friendly and happy to be with one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lauren’s dad had a “first-look” at his beautiful daughter after she was ready. You’ve got to love these happy-sad times that mean so much to each family member. There’s a story to be told every moment. At a wedding, so often the focus is about the day, a little bit about the future, but for every person involved I see the stories of the past written in their eyes, “This is that little girl I held, fast asleep, in the middle of the night…”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lauren had done a heap of work on details for the wedding day too – a photobooth was heaps of fun, there were jams and beautiful home made sweets for the guests to take home (I think Lauren’s grandfather had done a lot of work there!), there were lots and lots of historic family photos and a few from our recent engagement session placed right around the venue. It gave the place a really wonderful family feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The speeches were very funny all round. And from our point of view it was really lovely to have our blog post quoted<\/a> from the engagement session when Lauren’s Dad spoke. And yes, it’s even more obvious to notice just how in love Lauren and Leighton are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congratulations and the happiest of marriages to you both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
