Yesterday, in the shady, private little oasis that is the Platypus Lawn at the Melbourne Zoo, Narelle stepped out of a vintage jaguar and walked proudly up the red carpet to marry Luke. A Lion or two nearby made sure we all knew exactly where we were, but in between respectful roars (I’m sure they’d have been louder if Narelle hadn’t pre-warned them of the ceremony time), it was easy to forget that we were standing 20 metres from a 100-year-old tortoise for example (I’m just guessing – he looked very old). The ceremony was sweet, personal and funny, and by the time Narelle and Luke became husband and wife we’d all learnt a bit of the story behind the two grinning faces in front of us and how they’d come to be standing there together, committing their lives to each other.

Tara, Sita, Chris and Andy had the happy couple (and me) laughing throughout the shoot around the beautiful grounds of the zoo before we had to get them all back into their reception to kick off the party.

Enjoy the photos, and if you’d like to see more when the rest are ready, just email us, pester Narelle and Luke :), or ‘like’ our facebook page.
