I HAVE VERY EXCITING NEWS THAT I COULD NOT WAIT TO SHARE! And NO... before any of you even think it... Stuart and I are definitely not expecting a child! My gorgeous older sister Melissa gave birth to my new little NIECE yesterday! Her name is Scarlett Melina and I am in love! I am so excited to be an Aunty - my very first niece or nephew!! Being an Aunty is the best role ever - you can buy the baby all of the cute outfits and fun things, you get cuddles and give them back! It is the perfect arrangement for Stuart and I!! We are SO excited to be a Zia & Zio, to this adorable little bunny! We can't get enough of her.. she is just so cute!

He was definitely one of the most important people, that we wanted to be there with us. I had no idea what I should do to "have him still at the wedding"... I didn't want us to have no photos from our wedding day that didn't have his face in them. But we only had a week to get things organised.. so there was a few things that we did to have him incorporated at the wedding. The reason why I wanted to share this on my blog, is because I have had a couple of Brides who have had very ill parents or close family that they weren't sure would be okay to make it to their wedding. Luckily, they were both able to be well enough to be at their weddings in the end. After the wedding, we planned on getting redressed in our wedding attire and have a photo with Peter as if it was on the wedding day. Unfortunately Peter never got well enough to do that. Less than 4 months after our wedding day, Peter passed away, so we never got to have a wedding photo with him. Even though I am a wedding photographer and know how important photos are and have always tried to explain to people how important they are... I never actually appreciated how much 1 image could mean.. especially when it was an image that wasn't taken. We have both discussed how much we wish we could of had that one image from the day. So for our one year wedding anniversary, I did the closest thing I could to that and had a painting done of Stuart and his Dad, as if it was taken on the wedding day with Stuart in his wedding suit. Stuart had no idea I had organised it to be done and was completely surprised.

Weddings are one of my favourite things! There is so much excitement and happiness on a wedding day and so many beautiful things as well as beautiful moments. On the 18th of May, it was Stuart & I's turn to tie the knot! It was such a surreal day, as I am so use to being apart of everyone else's wedding day! In the morning while we were getting ready, I was so calm and relaxed - it just felt like I was at one of my Bride's houses watching all the girls get their hair and makeup done... It wasn't until our incredible photographers arrived that reality hit... I wasn't photographing a wedding today! Our photographers were there.. to photograph OUR wedding! The entire day was perfect, it was definitely our dream wedding! I will be posting more blogs about the day and list all of our amazing vendors who definitely helped make the day perfect! Here is just a little teaser photo from the day ... there are many many more to come! Monday, June 10, 2013 comments (0) post comment {tag_blogtaglist}04 Jul 2014 Jessica Ratty
