This freaking gorgeous day with Ash and Jake was one I won’t be forgetting about in a hurry. From the second I first spoke to Ash about their plans, I just knew I had to be the one to photograph it!
The weather was absolutely perfect; we shot the first look, wedding party and family portraits before the ceremony and reception at Saltwater Restaurant at Fingal Bay so they could make the most of their time with guests, and we managed to sneak in a quick sunset session on the beach before the party really kicked off!
By the end of the night I felt like I was saying goodnight to new friends, and that’s honestly one of the best parts of being a wedding photographer.
Jake and his friends got ready at the Aura Apartments in Shaol Bay, while Ash and her girls got glammed up at Salt at Shoal Bay. Both locations were a 2 minute drive between each other, and 10 minutes from the venue - PERFECT spots with limited travel time (which is really important when it comes to nailing the timeline for the day).
They also booked an epic group of vendors to run, capture and set the vibes HIGH for their day!
