CYPRESS LAKES WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY          06.10.18

This was the third time Rikilee and Steve had planned their wedding! Through unfortunate circumstances time and time again, various destinations and experiences didn’t come to fruition. I don’t know how they had the patience to plan a wedding three times, but let me promise you that they got it perfect in the end! Set amongst scattered vineyards in the Hunter Valley, with terrible weather in the days leading up to it, Rikilee and Steve’s ceremony had a brief 15 seconds of rain before Riki let out a disappointed “Bugger!”. But as the guest’s fearful worry about the impending storm turned into laughter, just like that the storm was gone! and by gone I mean it was gone for the rest of the day! Someone was looking out for them that’s for sure.
To give you an idea of how fun this wedding was – some of the images I can’t post here online, because the bridal party showed so much skin that I’d have to put an 18+ warning on my website!  Hahaha. But trust me, they were fun!
