The Angelica Peady Photography philosophy for weddings is a firm ‘your day, your way’.
We don’t believe in cookie-cutter nuptials, we think a wedding should be real. An authentic, heart-felt representation of who you and your beloved are - a celebration of your life, your bond and what makes your ‘story’ special.
So whether it be fun, funky, cool, quirky or intimate and tender – if your day is about you (not copied verbatim from a wedding blog or magazine!) we’d love to be a part of it.
Our approach is relaxed and fun. We believe the resulting images should be a-m-a-z-i-n-g but the process should be enjoyable. We’ll laugh and joke with you and help to make you feel at ease in front of the camera.
Our wedding packages are flexible and affordable. They start with a full set of digital images on disc. Our ‘a la carte’ menu then allows you to select just what you want and nothing more. It’s our belief you should be able to choose a package that’s tailorable to suit your needs and budget.
We love weddings. And, we’d like to shoot yours.
So, if we sound like the kind of photographer you’d like to work with for your big day contact us and lets talk about your plans.
If you are a regular follower of the Angelica Peady Photography blog you’ll know we’ve been in print on many occasions. But if I’m honest I have to admit that the thrill of seeing my images in a magazine never wanes. It’s still a rush to run into the newsagent, scour the shelves, pull the title and then madly flick until you see your pictures staring back at you in wonderful, published glory.
And that’s just what I did when I knew we had not one but two weddings in Cosmo Bride’s ‘Best Real Weddings of 2012′ issue.
You may recall these two couples – Jodi & Sam and Stella & Paul. They both had gorgeous, distinctive weddings with bold colours, fabulous details and lots and lots of love. And my team and I were the lucky peeps that got to capture their weddings in images.
So, here’s some shots of the magazine spreads – love! Thanks Cosmo Bride, awesome issue. And dare we say it? Awesome pictures too 
That first dance as a married couple can be a nerve-racking thing. Lots of men don’t like to dance, lots of couples don’t know how to dance and most people don’t enjoy being the only people on the dance floor with a few hundred eyes upon them!
What we’ve realised as wedding photographers is that you don’t have to be good dancers to make the ‘first dance’ a beautiful thing. You’ve just got to set those nerves aside and put your heart into it. Choose a song that means something and pretend you are the only people in the room. Or let your hair down and just get your silly but fun groove on. Because genuine emotions – be it laughter, tears or a bit of both – will be so embraced by your guests, much more so than a choreographed episode of ‘Dancing with the Stars’ or a painfully awkward shuffle.
You don’t have to be good. Just get into the moment 200% – that’s what counts.
If you really can’t stand the thought of a whole 3 and a bit minutes of stardom, a little trick that solves this is to have a single minute on your own as a couple and then ask your MC to ‘invite’ the rest of the bridal party to join you. All of a sudden this seems less like torture and more fun!
For couples that did it their way: did it with style, did it with gusto and did it with meaning? Check out some of our most fabulous images below.
Happy dancing.
Jinny and Matt travelled all the way from Perth for their amazing Blue Mountains wedding. Yes, it’s a loooong way but who’s to argue with a bride and groom’s ‘vision’ for their perfect ‘big day’? Jinny and Matt have previously fallen in love with Blackheath and it’s scenic bushland and felt that a local eco lodge would be the perfect, intimate place to tie the knot.
The original plan was to take advantage of the picturesque locations that the Blue Mountains offers – the tracks and lookouts and amazing cliff top views but mother nature had other ideas for us! Luckily even on her greyest day Blackheath’s moody skies and misty moments make for amazing pictures – as long as the bride and groom have an umbrella or two!
Jemby Rinjah (Eco Lodge) was truly romantic. While the rain persistently drizzled outside golden fireplaces, a host of family and friends and one very loved up couple (and their two gorgeous kidlets) made for a beautiful wedding. Jinny and Matt are just a delightful couple and the wedding celebrated their love, their story and their family life together. Perfect!
The gorgeous bride wore Gallery Serpentine and carried a bouquet of paper flowers that she made herself. Hair and make up was provided by Agents of Beauty.A striking crimson inset gown contrasted with the earthy tones of the Mountain landscapes so when we finally ventured outside the scene was set for fabulous images…
