Jordan and Shakira married at Good Shepherd Catholic Church in Hoxton Park, took their wedding portraits at Paddington Reservoir Gardens and celebrated with their guests at Conca D’Oro in Riverwood. I photographed the day from the quiet preparations to a full dance floor.
Wedding ceremony at Good Shepherd Catholic Church, Hoxton Park
I started with the invitation and rings, then photographed Jordan getting ready by the window. At Good Shepherd Catholic Church on Twentieth Avenue, I photographed the ring exchange up close and used wider frames to show the couple at the altar. Their walk back down the aisle gave me a chance to capture the guests celebrating with them.
Wedding portraits at Paddington Reservoir Gardens
Paddington Reservoir Gardens gave us a setting for wider portraits and quieter close-ups. I used the water to frame a reflection of Jordan and Shakira, then moved in for photographs under the veil and a portrait of Shakira with her bouquet. If you’re planning portraits at a separate location, build travel time into the schedule between your ceremony and reception.
Wedding reception at Conca D’Oro, Riverwood
At Conca D’Oro, I photographed the cake and followed the celebration onto the dance floor. Some of my favourite frames show Jordan and Shakira dancing with their guests gathered around them. Photographing from within the crowd let me show the energy of the evening alongside the quieter portraits from earlier in the day.
