Allison Hernach Photography: married: Nerida + Lionel: 3 January 2010

After meeting in Paris, France, a couple of years ago, Nerida and Lionel were married in the beautiful Adelaide Botanic Gardens on a sunny afternoon in January. Everything about their day was beautiful and wonderful and I was so happy to be a part of it all! On with the show...

Let's start with the Groom... isn't he suave!

The boys having some pre-ceremony fun!

Lionel was very relaxed before the wedding!

Nerida's dress was so incredibly beautiful.

Beautiful details... the fine things in life. Perfume, jewellery, Moet...

...and Tiffany & Co. What more could a girl want!

It's such a special time when a Bride puts on her wedding dress.

Almost done! Nerida was getting very excited!

Adding the final touches... a beautiful necklace.

Time to put on the shoes.

Once final check in the mirror!

Simply stunning.

I love this photo of Nerida's veil blowing in the breeze.

Almost there!

Walking towards her groom... Nerida was so composed!

The ceremony was beautiful. Nerida and Lionel exchanged their vows in both English and French. So very romantic.

Sealing their marriage with a kiss!

Congratulations followed the ceremony! I love the way the light was caught in Nerida's veil.

Time to reapply the lipstick.

Then on to take some beautiful bridal portraits.

This setting was so delicious, I could have photographed here all day!

Official bridal party portrait. How stunning are they!

Lionel, surrounded by stunning ladies, and loving it!

What a beautiful couple Nerida and Lionel are. And such wonderful people.

I always love photographing the rings. They look so beautiful on the old bench with Nerida's bridal bouquet as the backdrop.

Not only are Nerida and Lionel gorgeous, but their bridal party was absolutely delightful! I love this photo of the girls having a giggle to themselves.

A beautiful romantic moment. Captured.

Off to start the reception festivities!

Drinks and Nibbles in the gardens.

A delicious Croque em Bouche for the wedding cake!

Fabulous lanterns at the reception. I LOVE these!

Merci!

Nerida and Lionel had a large Eiffel Tower statue at the reception. Their guests wrote their wishes for them on small tags and tied them to the tower. Was gorgeous!
