These two loved a smooch, especially infront of the Priest!

It started with a joke and a warm cuddle from the matriarch of the family – Cassandra’s grandmother, what a beautiful soul she is, and then we were away, drinking champagne, whipping into dresses and off to the ceremony in the iconic chapel at Stones of the Yarra Valley

A lovely relaxed ceremony from Father James ended with a steamy long kiss, their first as husband and wife – and they didn’t stop kissing for the rest of the day!

With my great mate Michael by my side on video, we cracked gags and laughed our way through the portrait shoot then danced our way to an enormous champagne tower, the crowd went nuts.

We snuck out for a brilliant sunset, under golden Yarra Valley skies we took some amazing shots, and arrived back inside just in time for Sharif’s dad and his mates to join the band and smash out some of the coolest reggae you’ll ever hear at a wedding 🎉💍🥂

“We came across John on instagram and loved his infectious energy, from our very first meeting we knew we were in amazing hands. What attracted us to John beside his jokestar personality was his ability to capture the most raw and realest moments between us and our loved ones. Nothing was forced or posed it was all relaxed and a good time. All the bridal party and guests raved about Johns energy and professionalism. If we were to give anyone advice for their wedding day – book John, you will not be disappointed.”
