Our Pre-wedding Shoot with the Dogs

Somehow I managed to get Alec to agree to a pre-wedding shoot with the dogs. I was super-keen to get some really nice photos of our little family as I have few if any that are really nice quality, and the pooches can’t be involved in our wedding at all.

We met our wonderful photographer, Vincent Lai, at Bicentennial Park for an hour of pooch fun.

I just love the photos – here is a small selection of my faves.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Shelley’s Wedding

Shelley’s wedding day – it was hard to beleive the day was actually here! I woke up early – 6am – full of nerves for the bride. We were at the salon by 8am getting our hair done, and I started to feel better once I ate! Everything ran smoothly and it was a lovely day 🙂

Hair and make-up – done!

Night Before Shelley’s Wedding

The eve before Shelley’s wedding. I left work early to get a train to the Vibe Hotel in Milson’s Point to assist the bride with her preparations. We had our nails done, then got take-away for a relaxing night in. It was hard to sleep though, I was so nervous for the following day!

Look at our pretty nails! No, I wasn’t being felt up. Bad angle …
 

Google Christmas Film Fest

The annual Google Christmas party was a blast this year. For a totally different approach, we had a Google Film Fest night at Fox Studios where we walked the red carpet dresses as our favourite film characters (I was channeling Cher from Clueless), were entertained by a live band, then settled in to watch movies we’d made while snacking on popcorn, lollies and ice cream. Except for the lack of vego food and the unexpected cold breeze, it was my favourite Xmas party to date.

Fantails!
 
Let the movies begin!

ARIA Kitchen Table

A special dinner out with my work team to celebrate an award we won. We booked the kitchen table at Aria. Totally delicious dinner – would definitely go back!

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Shelley’s Hens Day

I had a wonderful time yesterday at Shelley hens day. We organised a day at the races followed by dinner at Cargo Bar, then clubbing at Retro.

I’m so excited for the wedding next weekend – I can’t believe my Shelby is getting married!

 
 

Katia’s High Tea Baby Shower

I hosted my first baby shower for my friend Katia. She wanted a simple high tea with no baby games – easy! The venue was Patisse, a new place in Waterloo. They served delicious food at a very reasonable price.

Mum-to-be Katia.
Tasty treats!

Happy baby shower KB! Can’t wait to meet the little man.
 

Kitchen Table at Aria

A quick post about a dinner at Aria. It was a work dinner as a prize my team won, and we were seated at the amazing kitchen table, so we were able to watch the chefs making our food. Absolutely fantastic night. Look at the food!
