Sometimes
The nervous energy builds;
The quick breaths grow longer;
The smiles grow deeper;
The tears flow at the first sight of love;
The warmth radiates the flesh;
The embrace encompasses the need;
The love is always enough.

Holly + Stephen | Stones of the Yarra Valley wedding photography

Kristen — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 02:12:57 +0000

There are people that come into your life for a reason.
Like there has always been a place for them, waiting.
Holly and Stephen feel like long lost friends.
Friends that I never knew I was missing.
I am a firm believer that you can tell a lot about a person by those who surround them.
And what surrounded them was beauty.
Such a delicate and delicious love.
Radiated from family, friends and loved ones.
What joy formed from this precious connection.
Stones of the Yarra Valley was smiling that day.
And I, as their wedding photographer, was too.

Featured | Bride to Be

Kristen — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 02:10:40 +0000

It’s no secret that I think my couples are beautifully amazing.
But when others think so too, I know they get a bit more excited by it.
Bride to Be contacted me to feature Yvonne and John‘s gorgeous Montsalvat wedding in Volume 157…

The exquisite Rebecca and Benn who were married at Stones of the Yarra Valley, were also featured in Volume 156 earlier on also.

And more recently, the Your Day annual was released not only featuring Rebecca and Benn’s beautiful Stones of the Yarra Valley wedding again, but also Laura and Jake‘s magnificent Daylesford Lake House wedding.

The Your Day annual can be purchased at your local newsagents or online.

Elspeth and Alex.
A couple so completely adorable I wished I could fit them into my pocket and take them home.
In fact, I probably said this many times to them on their wedding day.

Celebrated on the precious day they chose to become one.
