sophie + brandon’s collingwood wedding at the devil’s glen
sophie and brandon’s wedding in the blue mountains early last fall checked all the boxes from start to finish. i felt a particular kinship with brandon, who had dedicated seeds, space, time and care to growing almost all the flowers used on the day — some, like the echinacea and black eyed susan are a multi-year project, usually only flowering in their second year of growth, so it was extra special to photograph their day surrounded by not only their friends and family, but their blooms as well (not forgetting the cat — beans made a guest cameo too!).
alongside all of that was how welcoming and appreciative and kind everyone was, not only towards us but each other. when i look back on the photos, it looks like such a larger group than what i remembered it being, and i think that’s due to how close and welcoming it felt to be there. days like that are what make it easy for dave and i to do our best work documenting things as they unfold.
