Photos From The Wedding Are Here!
The professional photos are online and ready for viewing! If you forgot the information, please contact either myself or Peter for information on how to access them. :)

We also have some photos taken by friends and family (or ourselves) from the wedding and reception:

Matt & Peter: The guys hanging out before the ceremony.
Crystal walking down the aisle: I have a funny look on my face, I was so excited and happy and trying not to cry. lol
Crystal walking down the aisle, take two: A better one of me coming down the aisle, with Helen (Peter's youngest sister) behind me, looking all dreamy. :)
Wedding Party: This was just after the actual ceremony, when we are signing the "register". Helen had been sobbing the whole time during the ceremony. That's Helen in the back, then best man Matt, and then Peter's other sister, Katy. And Peter and I seated, of course.
Wedding Party 2: Helen (Peter's mum made her amazing dress!), Peter, Crystal, and Best Man Matt posing outside for photogaphs for our adoring fans. *lol*
Dad & Mum: Peter's parents at the ceremony.
Trio: Peter's sisters (Katy and Helen) and Best Man Matt.
Matt & Katy: Um... Matt and Katy. *lol*
After the Ceremony: Us walking out after the signing, so happy. :)
Lace Up: Here you can sort of see the lacing up the back of my dress - it took my friend Kara 20 minutes to get it laced up. :) And no, Peter didn't use scissors to get it undone. ;)
Rings: Photo of our rings. My engagement ring is a blue sapphire, with a diamond either side of it, set in a white gold band. Our wedding bands are white gold with a "groove" etched into the centers with a "satinized" finish and polished edges.
Kara: My dear friend, Kara, and me at the reception. Kara did the poetry reading during our ceremony, and also dressed me, and just around for support and friendship. Thank you, Kara, for everything. You are the best!
Lucca: Because everyone needs at least one adorable child in their wedding photos, and you don't get much more adorable than little Lucca!!!
Lucca 2: Just for fun, because he is so dang cute :)
Confetti: A bit blurry, but still fun. The professional photographers got some great ones of the confetti time though. :)
Cake: Our wedding cake - photos don't do those sugar flowers justice! Our cake was orange sponge, and so delicious!
Cake 2: A second photo of our cake.
Table Set Up: Tables at the reception. Peter and I made the name cards, menus, and centerpieces.
Centerpiece: The centerpieces. When we were talking to florists, one florist quoted us 40 pounds or something silly like that just for one glass dish to put them in. We did all our centerpieces (candles/flowers/glass beads/glass dishes) for less than that.
Reception: Crystal, Tom, and Cordie at the reception.
Wine and Good Times: This is Helen, she had a *great time* at the reception. *giggles* :)
Dance Floor: Two of the guys from Peter's work, Peter and Matt, on the dance floor. I love this photo. Unfortunately, my dress prevented me from getting too silly on the dance floor. Then again, maybe that was a fortunate thing... ;)
First Dance: Peter and I during our first dance.

More to be forthcoming from the table cameras. I just want to say thank you again to the people who took these photos and provided them to us.
Wedding Photography:
Peter and I looked at many different photographers websites. We decided that we wanted professional looking photographs that were contemporary and relaxed in style. I contacted several (around 10) and about 5 actually contacted me back. One of the photographers was going on holiday for 2 weeks- we were hoping to sort out the photography before then, so they got scratched off the list. Another photographer, the initial impression I got from them I just did not like at all, so I cancelled the appointment to meet with them. That left us down to 3. The first photographers were a husband and wife team. They came to the house to meet with us, and we got on with them fantastically. They brought loads of things to show us, and were very nice people in general. Very impressed with their work and style, but we still had two others to meet with. The next guy that came to see us, he was more interested in talking about how he ran his business rather than showing us any of the work - and the actual person that was going to take our photos wasn't even available for the meeting, but upon seeing the style of his work, which was very amateurish in our opinion, we knew it wasn't for us. This guy was also very pressuring, I almost felt like I was talking to a used-car salesman rather than a photographer. The third gentleman we met with at his home. He was super nice, and his photographs were absolutely stunning. Then he gave us the price list, and unfortunately in this case, we knew that he wouldn't be the one we would go with. We went with our first choice, Paul and Deb of Amant Photography, because not only do they do absolutely gorgeous work, but we really liked them and feel we will get more for our money (all of our photographs and two photographers, for instance). We are confident that we have chosen the right people to document our special day. :)
Other Photography:
"Engagement" Photos: The photos that went out with the invitations (and that you see in the right most panel on the front of this website) were all taken by Helen Cooney, Peter's youngest sister, with a Digital Canon EOS camera.
Fun Stuff: Peter and I are toying with the idea of leaving disposable cameras on the tables at the reception. :)
