EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW - TERRY BIVIANO

As a photographic producer you are often the person that has the longest relationship with a bride. What starts from choosing a photographic studio and finishes with album delivery, print collection & magazine submissions can often be a 3-4 year window so it is fair to say often close friendships are formed on many occasions. Working with the following incredible lady has been an inspiration so far and one that I am sure will continue for many years to come. Introducing Ms Terry Biviano...









Terry is a shoe designer who specialises in the design & retailing of fashion forward women's accessories. Terry is one of the most successful high end shoe brands in Australia.

REAL WEDDING - TESSA & BEN

On a beautiful Autumn Day in May 2011 we covered a lovely wedding for clients Tessa & Ben. Ben designed a stunning engagement ring for his proposal to Tessa on a marina in Nelson's Bay, NSW. We were thrilled to hear Bride to Be Magazine were running a story on their wedding in their current February issue (on sale now)

The wedding stationery was designed by the bride's sister Lucy Bartlett

Tess wore an elegant full length lace gown designed by Lisa Gowing

To compliment the vintage detailing of Tessa's dress, the bridesmaid dresses were soft lilac silk dresses with a silvery tone by Fleur Wood

The couple choose St Augustines Church in Neutral Bay for their traditional ceremony

The light in Centennial Park for their couples photo shoot was divine. David Austin roses were chosen for the bouquets by Portobello Rose

The grooms suit was by Hugo Boss & wedding rings by Diamond Traders

A signature SugarLove moment in the parklands with Tessa & Ben. The whole day resonated the "simple & elegant" theme that Tessa & Ben chose for their day

The colours of the leaves were so rich in the park at this time of year we could not resist having a bit of fun with our own "petal throw"

The couple chose Centennial Park Dining for their elegant dinner for 114 guests. Tables were named after their favourite places. Pastry Consultant Sebastian Stephanno designed a tiered chocolate mudcake with cointreau ganache & raspberry coulis which was served with a quenelle of cream & fresh strawberries.

Guests enjoyed the night listening to the fabulous tunes of The Baker Boys

David Austin roses, tulips, lisianthi, dahlias & hyacinth on mirrored bases were surrounded by tealight candles to create a simple classic centerpiece for the guests.

It was lovely to cover another wedding at Centennial Park Dining and Tessa & Ben's autumn wedding was just what we needed after a busy summer wedding season. The perfect time of year for choosing Centennial Park and escaping for that one month honeymoon break to Italy!! We wish you the very sweetest of lives together & thank you for choosing SugarLove...

REAL WEDDING - ASHLEY & JOSH

Ashley & Josh had a private wedding ceremony at the beautiful Bay Cottage in Palm Beach, Sydney but hired us to cover their follow up party the next day with family & friends at The Boathouse just a short drive away.

The sweet details at the couples hideaway escape on the Northern Beaches.

The pittwater, the perfect partner...what more could you ask for?

White blooms & cut crystal are always a classic centrepiece.

And to the party dress for celebrating with family & friends the day after i-do

A quick rehearsal dance on the jetty for Ashley & Josh as captured by our lovely senior photographer Lauren (soon to be based in Italy!!)...great news for all our lovely 2012/2013 European clients so make sure you let us know your dates early this year & next!

Just enough time for a best girlfriends photograph before the evening party begins

Every corner of the Boathouse is a photo shoot, we love working there

"Just Married" indeed for Ashley & Josh on this perfect summer day

Time to celebrate with the arrival of drums & delicious drinks & canapes

Some of the couples dearest friends arrive for the evening

The party quickly flows out onto the jetty under the picture perfect sky

We had such a lovely time working on their day. Ashley sent us a note after the wedding to say "You have been such as pleasure to deal with and i am really pleased we chose SugarLove to take our photos". The feeling is mutual Ashley so best wishes to you both for the future!!

And lastly...life would never be complete without macarons & these were some of the best we have ever tasted!!
