Hayley and Shaun contacted me about their wedding plans at Brackenridge and we decided that 6 hours of photography would be plenty of time for their day! They wanted the wedding to be about spending time with family, their kids (who were their bridesmaids and groomsmen) and having a great time with guests. In the 6 hours that I was with them, we were able to cover the finishing touches of their preparations, the ceremony, photos afterward with their family and kids, the very start of their reception and sunset photos! That’s one of the great things about Brackenridge as a wedding venue, everything is on-site and you can make your timeline really streamlined without lots of travel between locations. I’m all for these shorter wedding days, sometimes you don’t need a 10-hour package and you can actually capture so much in a shorter time.

During their first speeches, we had a small window of opportunity to decide if we were going to head out for sunset photos, which we preplanned to be before I finished. It was raining, completely clouded over and I said sorry we won’t get a sunset but then the sky opened up (I’ve had this happen before in Martinborough, it changes within minutes). They got their sunset photos! Take a look.

Thanks for joining me @jessdewsnap as my second photographer and it was great to see you @wendymorrisoncelebrant!
