Elisha & Dylan // Mount Macedon Winery

"Briggsy, I have gone to email you so many times since Dylan and I sat down to look at our wedding photos early last week and every time I do, I get worried that my words aren't going to do justice to the way we feel about our photos!

So basically take whatever I say from now as only a tenth of how we actually feel haha. I was never great at words!

Firstly, we absolutely love them (times 100). I am bursting with so many good emotions when ever I think about the photos, look at the photos or talk about the photos to anyone I know! They take us back to the best day of our lives and I feel so grateful to have these special photos to refer back to whenever we want. I'm not quite sure what I was expecting to feel to be honest, when you sent us the link I was really excited to see the photos from the day but they mean so much more than we anticipated after looking through them.

*Great idea to take the time to sit down together to look at them by the way. We put on our wedding playlist and I was balling with happiness by the end of it haha.

When we were planning our wedding at Mount Macedon Winery, there was never a question in our minds as to who we would ideally want to shoot our wedding. There was already so much we loved about you as a person and photographer but I have to say your ability to capture so much love and happiness in your images is something we have admired for a long time. Getting married on our own property was special within itself but to have you there to capture the moments was even more special, considering you had been a support to us and our venture since it had started.

Anyway Briggsy, we wouldn't have had the day we had if you weren't a part of it. You're incredible at what you do, you're humble and you're a darn good photographer. Thank you for giving us the most special gift of capturing the best day of our lives."
