Sarah & Luis - 20 December 2007

Sarah & Luis, the Irish-Spanish connection, were a fun and super relaxed couple to photograph.

The day started out overcast which was not a good sign for the planned outdoor ceremony.
While Luis was getting ready he was on the phone to the event coordinator at Gunners Barracks to work out whether to move the ceremony to the covered terrace or keep it outdoors. With literally only mins to spare before having to make a decision the sky cleared. Although the staff at Gunners kept the terrace on standby just in case.

Gunners is such a perfect place to get married, the place oozed old worldly charm, combined with awesome city views and great surroundings for location photos.

Ceremony & reception: Gunners Barracks
Celebrant:Ian Toll
Flowers: Flowerbug

Luis is about to head down to Gunners Barracks.
You can always find funky backgrounds if you just look around, this is just a garage door.
Sarah was getting ready at her place, it was great to meet her family there as well. In true Irish fashion she has 4 sisters and 1 brother so the house was pretty full and happening.
The reception and ceremony took place at Gunners Barracks. The ceremony was in the courtyard. The chairs and the reception venue were beautifully decorated with roses.

In order not to be in Kate's shots (as above) I was hiding behind the flower arrangements, which meant I got close to the action for a different view.
Must be the Spanish sign for victory.
little feet, pretty shoes.
The whole bridal party outlined against the sky.

Something a bit more posy but still fun.

At one point during the reception Luis' Dad pulled out the Habanas.
I couldn't say no, that would have been rude, right??
Some moody shots near the old fortifications.
