Deux Belettes weddings, near Byron Bay

I just wanted to share one of my favourite places to photograph weddings; not just because it is quiet, peaceful and just outside Byron Bay, not just because the architecture of the buildings hark to French Provincial and Italian Renaissance villas, not just because the gardens have a wonderful fecundity and wildness, not just because the sculpture and textures and materials and details excite the senses, not just because the owners Ross and Sharon have created all this with a knowledge and energy that inspires, not just because they are generous enough to share and open this for married couples and guests to enjoy, but because it all comes together to create a relaxed stylishness, an ambient infusion, a freedom. Check out Deux Belettes and I hope you get a sense of what it is like to get married there from this selection of photos.

This was the first wedding I shot there in 2007 for Gilli & Paul. Stunning! Sharon let me stay the night before and I even helped hoover the carpet in preparation for the day.

This next wedding was one of my favourites of 2008 - a Russian and Scottish mix with plenty of vodka, caviar and fish n` chips!
