Ive gotten to know Amanda & Jase a little over the last few months (since their pre-wedding photos back on what was possibly the hottest day in December). I was really, really looking forward to their wedding day – I knew it would be stress-free, and just beautiful. Amanda & Jason are just so down to earth…. quick story, I ran into Amanda at a Zumba class back in May, and introduced my friend to her by saying ‘This is Amanda, im shooting her wedding next year’ and Amanda’s like ‘um, its actually this year, in 3 months!’ – in my defence, I was sick, and it was during a coughing attack – but even with her photographer forgetting which year it was, she was still so cool, calm & collected 
Anyway, back to Amanda & Jase. Im not sure how many of you know this, but their wedding was actually all planned BEFORE Jason popped the question. It was the big joke at the Engagement Shoot – they weren’t actually ‘engaged’. So they’d booked the reception, the ceremony venue, the photographer, and a bunch of other things, without actually having the shiny ring on her finger! But the circles all joined up on Jasons birthday this year, which happened to be on their 5th anniversary! Amandas e-mail to me after the proposal: ‘We went out to lunch yesterday for Jase’s Bday and our 5 year anniversary. Berowra Waters Inn. It was lovely food. Expensive, but we usually try and treat ourselves for our anniversary. Anyway, after lunch we went for a walk out on the balcony and jase got down on one knee and said “Well Amanda, you’ve been waiting long enough…..Will you marry me?” I said I’d think about it. Just kidding lol. I said yes! It was a lovely day!’
And so was their wedding – here are a few of my favourites from their day, starting with Amandas gorgeous flowers, from Nati Bros Roses at Middle Dural:
Amandas ‘step-mum’ Sandy helping her into the dress THAT SANDY MADE. Seriously. Way Cool.
Amanda was SO nervous – you cant tell tho.
The gals – friend Jackie & sister Anna.
Amanda & Bryan, her dad.
My awesome friend Cathy was my 2nd shooter on the day – she took this shot, just gorgeous.
The ceremony was at Fagan Park, Galston.
The boys – Chris, Darren & Jason
Huummmmmmmm – Sydney Hummer Limousines
Ready to walk down the isle, and Bryans on Facebook! (Joke, im sure he’s just putting it on silent)
For anyone following us on the Tiger Lily Photography Facebook Page, you’ll remember my post from earlier in the week regarding the ‘random’ in the tracksuit with the dog. Well, this is him. Anyone else laughing?
Father & daughter (without the ‘random’)
The gorgeous location – thanks to Cathy, my 2nd shooter for grabbing this shot!
Married!
After the family photos, we got some gorgeous portraits in the late afternoon sun.
Hubba Hubba!
The whole party – Jackie, Darren, Bride & Groom, Anna & Chris.
And an impromptu kiss!
As we were chasing the last of the sun, Amanda has picked the gardens she wanted to go to – the blossoms being the first! A gust of wind took off with Amandas veil, and we got some gorgeous sunflare in these next photos….
Amandas platinum gold ring was made using her grandmothers diamond.
Hello pretty lady….
There’s Jasons laugh from the pre-wedding shoot!
And theres the wind again!
Gorgeous late winters afternoon light, for a gorgeous bride.
By this time its almost 5pm, and the girls are freezing, and the boys hadn’t offered their jackets yet. Sometimes the photographer just has to step in and rectify things….
Did I say how gorgeous her flowers were?
Married! Yee-Haa!
Amanda & Jasons reception was held at the Mandalay at Lane Cove – a gorgeous old manor home.
And their wedding cake was made by their family friend Beverly.
First dance – ah, theres nothing sweeter.
Amanda & Jase – thank you, for allowing me to photograph your gorgeous wedding last weekend. Cathy & I had a ball meeting your friends & family, and witnessing the love they have for you both. Im very VERY jealous that you’re both drinking Pina Coladas at the Maldives as we speak, but I cant wait to hear all about it! Lots of love xxxx
Oh, and check your in-box for a link to your slideshow, and if you were a guest at the wedding, shoot me thru an e-mail (lauren@tigerlilyphotography.com.au) with Jasons surname, and I’ll send the slideshow your way too!
