Lily’s on the Lagoon Wedding

23rd March 2014

Love birds Kylie and Daniel met through mutual friends when Kylie moved into Daniel’s street. 10 years later, they were engaged to be married, and spent the next year planning their love bird-themed wedding at Novotel Twin Waters Resort. //// Their mutual adoration for each other and their three pets lead them to the love bird theme, with a classic duck egg blue and white colour palette.

Ah.May.Zing.  If this was the only photograph you ended up with from your wedding day, I’m sure it would be enough. However knowing Greg Gardner Photography, this lucky couple would have had plenty of equally as gorgeous images and spoiled for choice as to which ones to display.
