Hannikay re~cap - ::part THREE:: - HANNIKAY's Pink Wedding by Color Blog

Sorry to drag them all out like this... hope you don't mind the installments! I just don't want to overload you otherwise.
So were we up to nibblies in the trees? I think so.

After the ceremony and the family/relative shots (which were directly after), we allowed an hour (from 4 - 5pm) to mingle with guests while drinking strawberry punch and nibbling on giant old-fashioned cookies!

This was so much fun.. I was just floating around from person to person... trying to get through them all (esp the ones that weren't coming to the reception that night).

The biscuits were a huge hit! Mum and I made them all at the start of the week. The tea, coffee and punch were arranged by a lady at the church who did it for $150, so that took the pressure off us.

Our photographer was almost like our Coordinator, as she came and dutifully pulled us away from our guests at about 5pm to begin our professional shoot. We started at the church front.

We moved down to a park for a few more with the bridal party.

Then just across the road we spotted this old boathouse with weathered boards and rambling ivy... we decided this looked perfect for some polaroid love...

Say hello to the hottie....

Weensy bit of tushie lovin' please...

Mmm this is such a juicy one :)

Jase adores this one.. I don't mind it myself actually teehee..

The wind was just right!

And my beautiful sisters....

A lot of them were a bit more artsy/alternative than what my photographer would usually take on her own, but I had a few 'must have shots', so I printed a dozen or so of these off, and sent them to her, so she could see my vision. She carried a couple of these around with her on the day, to make sure she got what I wanted. I wasn't taking any chances! That is a tip I'd definitely recommend. Or give them links/email photos. The trick is to get your message across. You have ONE chance to get the RIGHT photos on your day.

Next installment has some of my TOP favourites.. can't wait to share them with you all!!

Hope your wedding plans are getting there, and that you're relaxed and enjoying every minute of building up to your own day!!

Love Hannikay

Gorgeous! The cookies and punch sound delightful! I love the picture of you (rar baby rar) and then the one of you guys kissing with that beautiful background. Absolutely stunning! I agree totally that giving your photographer some picture ideas is a good plan

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the pics with the hanging frames : ) and the idea with punch and bickies

The cookie table looks amazing! I bet that was a fun time just hanging out with your guests for a little while. I love the pics with the frames. so fun. And I love the boat house pictures. What an awesome background!

So, how is the married life sweetie? ;)

utterly gorgeous, i love all your little details!

Beautiful pics! Those cookies look so yummy! :)

Thank you peeps!!!!!!!!!

Shayla - haha {rar baby rar}... you had me cackling!

ileigha - yeah the frames were last minute but were a success :)

brittany - I was a bit disappointed about the cookie table in a way... they set it up while I was getting dressed and the sign I had made didn't really fit.. it was too big... and the punch wasn't on that table... ah well! It was still cute!

ladeecadbury - why thank you :) and yes, I have amazing memories!

futuremrspauk - you flatter me... the makeup helped I can assure you! Married life is AMAZING, esp since we had a long-distance engagment. I can't believe I'm with Jason EVERY.DAY. =D

That's funny about the cookie display...someone else set up my toppings buffet then I have originally talked to and it was nothing like what I wanted, but minor detail I know, but it still bugs you tough doesn't it :)

I TOTALLY agree Shayla! Everyone else still would have thought it was cool, but really, the sign was a mess! Haha, but the good moments in the day FAR out way these little 'disasters' teehee ;)

Love them all again Hannah! That model pose of you is HAWT!!
Also, can I just say that the two of you both have the most striking eyes. Wow. I just love your pics. Stunning

Tash, you're a total babe xox thank you so much!
