I didn’t get a chance to meet Jacques and Sally before their big day and we hadn’t chatted much over email either, so I had no idea what to expect. I was feeling a little bit apprehensive while I was on my way there, but when I arrived and saw Sally’s bright purple hair I just knew it was going to be a good day for photos. Jacques explained to me that they were actually already married, and that this is more of just a celebration with their close friends and family. So that’s the reason why they did a lot of things differently, to start with they didn’t mind seeing each other while they were getting ready, there was no-one officiating the ceremony so it ended up being just them exchanging rings and sealing it with a kiss, and then later there was no throwing of the bouquet and garter or first dance. They also opted for a bonfire on the beach instead of dancing. It was just a chilled day of laughter and togetherness.
As I’m typing this I just remembered that Jacques also mentioned they were in the process of packing up and moving overseas, so my best wishes and thanks so much Jacques and Sally for having me document your wedding celebration!
