On the 8th of September Ben and Tamara held their wedding at the Nowra Golf Club. Their big day was a massive celebration of two families becoming one.
The day began with Ben and his groomsmen getting ready at home while Tamara and her bridesmaids spent the morning in Shoalhaven Heads having their hair and makeup professionally styled.
The ceremony was a beautiful part of the day. Ben and Tamara exchanged personal vows, rings and shared a first kiss. To conclude the ceremony the celebrant announced them as husband and wife and their friends and family lined the aisle as the newlyweds made their way onto the golf course covered in confetti.
After the portraits the bridal party made an energetic entrance into the reception. As I circled around the different tables and met Ben and Tamaras friends and family, I heard so many stories of how everyone knew the couple. While each story was different, everyone made the same comments about what great people Ben and Tamara are. The highlight of the evening was definitely the speeches which felt like an ad lib comedy show - someone would start the joke and someone else would deliver the punchline.
I was grateful to photograph this wedding because I felt genuine warmth and hospitality from both Ben and Tamara and it really was a celebration like no other. Congratulations Mr and Mrs Wellington!
