Robynne and Stefan’s Backsberg Wedding

A guest post by Joanne Markland

I photographed this wedding for Big Day Big Picture and I was so glad for the opportunity because Stefan and Robynne are one of the sweetest couples, eerrr I mean Robynne is the sweet one!( just kidding Stefan you are okay too)

I have been on maternity leave for 2 months and was super excited to shoot my first wedding of the season.  I met Stefan and Robynne at the beginning of the year and was so glad when Roberta from Big Day Big Picture phoned me to say they had booked me, because they truly are down to earth people.  I met up with them again 2 weeks before the wedding at the venue to get an idea of where everything was going to be held.

Robynne had a bit of a stressful time on the day because the electricity went off in the morning and didnt come back for most of the day.  She had to find somewhere to do her hair but when I arrived she was pretty relaxed, calm and ready!  I was really impressed because most brides are always running late and here she didnt even have electricity and managed to be ready long before the time, very impressive!(Definately some gold stars from me)  I had a lot of fun photographing the girls, they were all very sweet and helpful.

Christene and I then drove to the Backsberg Estate so I could get some pics of the guests and also the decor.  It was such a lovely outside setting and they could’nt have asked for a better day.  The ceremony was beautiful and very personal, definately alot of  love for the couple from family and friends.   Backsberg Estate is a really lovely venue for a wedding so I had plenty of spots to choose from for their photos.

Great speeches were made at the reception and I think Stefan had about 80% of the people in tears with his beautiful speech!  Thank you to the both of you for letting Christene and I be a part of you wedding day, definately a wedding we will remember:-)
