This gorgeous summer wedding was one of the most genuinely fun days we had of the season, Hayley & Symon are just hilarious, gorgeous & totally in love, it's adorable!
But let's go back to where it started....when Hayley first made her appointment to come and chat about what we could do for their wedding I was soooo excited, at long last we were going to meet after over a year of emails and Facebooking we would meet face to face...I was pumped....then when I found out that her Mother In Law to be was coming as well....my nerves kicked in and my hands were shaking to the max! When it comes to talking to a couple about their day, I connect with them & their plans, I get a picture of who they are, what the look of their day is...the feeling, the style etc. I have only ever done 2 pre-wedding interviews with mums and it always makes me nervous, because as a mother, I know that I want the best for my kids as I'm sure they do too. Sue was just wonderful and as I explained what it means to me to be a wedding photographer, the angles I want to capture & the importance of the family & the moments I looked over to find her tearing up...I made her cry! I felt awful, but to be honest, when I meet potential clients I don't put on a show of who I could be, I'm honest (even to the point of turning clients away if we aren't on the same page - they deserve someone who gets them better than I do). But in all of my explaining about my work, I'd never made anyone cry! She was so moved by my attitude & approach, it was really touching.
When I arrived at Hayley's house to do the girls prep photos, the 1st thing I did was hand Sue a brand new box of tissues, so her make-up would be picture perfect all day. Then onto my gorgeous bride & her maids...we had lots of fun & laughs getting ready & when the Kombi's arrived to take us to the wedding, with such a bright and glorious colour scheme, you couldn't help but smile & feel happy.
The ceremony was held in a reserve over looking the beach, my goodness did I cry when I was proofing those images!! Hayley teared up as soon as we pulled up in the Bus stop for her to get out and the pure emotion & joy on her face as she walked down to marry the man who makes her laugh, smile & feel like the only woman on the palent, was so moving, as was the look of pride on her dad's face! "That's my girl!"
Our first stop from the ceremony was a garden with columns & archs & creeping vines that made a stunning little stop on our way to Brighton Jetty for some more romance and laughs. Then, onto the fabulous Jumping Pillow for way, way, way too much fun and dress ripping laughs....yes, I said..DRESS RIPPING! The whole bridal party was jumping, sitting bouncing on the giant jumping pillow when all the laughing & motion was stopped by gasps at the sound of chiffon ripping....we were all worried about what Hayley would think & how she would react to her beautiful wedding dress being torn as she jumped on the pillow...it was a hold-your-breath moment that was a true testament to the beautiful, happy, joyous & gorgeous woman she is. Wth a quick asessment of the damage she was back to the jumping in no-time and as we headed back (after the fun had been fully sufficed) to get some pins from my emergency kit to fix her up I asked, "Have you had a good day so far?" to which she replied,
"Yep, it has been amazing, I don't even care that I ripped my dress!"
A special mention has to go out to my hubby here, being my 2nd shooter is a part time for him, he had several chunks of metal in his eye from working as a landscaper the previous day. His eye was quite red, puffy & watery and yehe braved the jumping pillow and shot directly towards the sun to get these amazing shots of Symon jumping. When you're a wedding photographer, you can't have a sick day and there's no reshoot, he qtly got on with the job (wiping his teary eyes) and got some amazing shots too!
After chilling out with a few drinks (we always allow time for our couples to relax during their day) we moved onto the final destination for our photo shoot & for the day, Glenelg Golf Club. There we used the gorgeous Kombi vans from Kombi's 4 U for some awesome love-bug shotsand made fabulous use of the lush practice green & mini forrest we found too.
It was such a great day spent with fabulous, beautiful, generously loving, wonderful people, and we truly had the most fun time. Hayley & Symon, thank you so much for including us in your awesome day, we joyed every minute of it and look forward to capturing more memories for your family in the future. <3 Corrynn & Jarrod ~ Corrynn Jones Photography

Hi Corrynn,
Your words are fair enough to describe the fun you had in the wedding of Hayley and Symon. and there is no question in the proficiency of brighton wedding photographers. They will definitely call you for the upcoming occasion if there is any.
Great work all time
Thanks for sharing information. This will help for people who are searching for Adelaide Wedding Photographer.
Lovely pictures.
Oh wow, their beach wedding was stunning. I loved how wonderful turned out to be. We also want a chic beach ceremony but we are not able to find any good NYC wedding venues. It is truly not easy to find right location. Does anyone here have any suggestions?
