Spicers Clovelly Estate Wedding - Montville Wedding Photographer

How divine is this wedding - this is MY wedding starring Beth & Simon. The wedding I would have and the wedding I love to capture. They made the most of the entire day with a morning ceremony, leisurely enjoyed a high tea with their family and friends, had some down time in the middle of the day (guests explored the gorgeous ranges) then a late afternoon photo session (for the best light of course) before sitting down to an amazing degustation. Spicers Clovelly Estate is such a unique place and creates the perfect atmosphere for intimate up-market weddings. So many things came together just perfectly (Beth’s best laid plans) for a perfect day. Thanks for inviting me to The Penny Farthing Inn the night before to meet everyone and thanks a zillion for choosing me to capture your day. Stunning.

WOW Jodi! They’re wonderful!

I keep going back to the album and I’m loving the photos more and more each time I look through them. I watched the slide show yesterday afternoon then rang Simon and we kept saying “Oh, but what about this one!” and “I love this one too!” Simon worked late last night so I watched it again with Amélie and she got very excited pointing out all her family and saying “At mimi’s wedding”.

Can’t wait to see the disc. We (you) received so many compliments from our family and friends as well. Love, love, love the photos. We are so happy with your work. Can’t thank you enough!

Warmest regards, Beth, Simon & Amelie

Mel & Doug booked me eons ago for their fabulous wedding. Nice small intimate number of guests to celebrate their day. Love the huge tree canopy of Wirreanda Park for the ceremony before a stunning reception on the water at the Wine Bar. Thanks so much for having me - lots of laughs.

Been trying to get here all day - my Jene turned 9 today. She is just a gem of a child and we love her to death. The colour images below are part of an Art assignment my eldest daughter Danica took a couple of months ago - I think she has a pretty good eye! Happy Birthday Gorgeous Girl.

GORGEOUS - Steff & Tom are one of the most gorgeous couples inside & out that I have had the pleasure of photographing. Genuinely nice and so so so happy. The colours are to die for - magic combination of the yellow with the orange combie van and lush green surrounds of Clios. Their stunning little girl almost stole the show - perfect afternoon for the perfect couple. Thanks for choosing me - love your images.

Julie & Craig were married on a perfect Sunny Coast afternoon. Nice & relaxed was the mood they were after - love the after-ceremony images - the best light. Julie wanted some dirt road/country & Craig wanted beach - we certainly got the best of both. We even got lucky with some fishing gear as Craig is a Mad fisherman. Gotta love the colours in their images too - FABULOUS - thanks so much for the pleasure.

Hi Jodi,

Thank you so much Jodi, the photos are fantastic!!! You have done an awesome job. You have taken some beautiful detail shots and have some great photos of our guests which I love. I love the dirt road, grass and beach shots. We can’t wait to see more.

I think the wedding is just a sweet memory now - I have been a fishing widow for the last week while Craig has been away on a boy’s fishing trip. I suppose this is the trade off as I got to go to Antarctica in March.

Thanks again.

Julie and Craig
