Meet Cherrie
I love to travel and have been doing it since I was 17. I love polka dots. I love dresses. I love shoes. I love the colours purple and pink. I have been having a love affair with the American South for as long as I can remember and one of my favourite books is To Kill a Mockingbird. I looove coffee, but can’t really drink it because it presses my fast forward button. If you want to see me talk at warp speed, give me a white chocolate mocha. I’ll not only love you for it, I’ll love you for it in fast forward! I normally stick to tea, though.I love watching sci-fi shows. Nerd pride. I waited 28 years to find the love of my life and now that we’ve found each other I couldn’t imagine life without him and I can’t remember what it was like before him. I love hugs. I love to read. Photography, travel and history are my favourites, but I’m really not as boring as I sound. I read crime to be more exciting. I spell favourites with a ‘u’ because I am Australian even though it might look a little weird to people who use American English. I like to create new verbs out of existing words. Like right now, I am biographing myself. I also like mixing words, like Purplicious and Pinktacular! I like to name things. Like our car, it’s the ‘Enterprise’, or ‘Space Car’ because it’s so advanced everything is a button… just like I imagine things in the future would be. You want a white choc mocha? Easy, press a button! My camera is named ‘Henri’ after Cartier-Bresson, because I think it’s better than just plain old ‘Canon 5d’. I love animals, especially dogs and coo over them like most people do with babies. I also coo over babies. I love photography and I love weddings and I am blessed to be able to call my passion my profession.

Wedding at Julita Gard

It’s been quite a while since I was able to update the wedding portfolio but I finally have time to share a special couple, today. Fiona is from New Zealand and Andreas is from Sweden, and like something out of a fairytale, they met while Andreas was travelling Australia. In Fiona’s words, she thought he was “A bit alright.” and it wasn’t long before they followed each other around the country. Now, if you ask them who actually followed who, you get varying stories… but it was love and it was to remain.

Fiona moved to Sweden to be with Andreas not so long ago and they spent a couple of weekends relaxing at a place called Julita Gard. So, when it was time for them to get married, it made the most sense for them to have their wedding at Julita Gard. They were hoping for sun, but the Swedish summer is very fickle and it pretty much rained the whole day. That didn’t stop them from having an amazing time, though and we even used the rain to our advantage with an amazing portrait of Andreas lifting off in the wind.

Fiona’s family were also at their wedding and travelled all the way from New Zealand to be with her and Andreas and it was lovely to hear all the Kiwi accents on the day. I actually don’t remember anyone complaining about the rain at all, and that’s why I love weddings. They bring out the happiness and joy in everyone and I am really honoured that they chose me to help document their day.

Below is a few select favourite images from Fiona and Andreas’ wedding at Julita Gard. I look forward to continuing their story with them in the future and I can’t wait to see what it holds for them. I hear pitter, patter… maybe?
