Yvette and Shane's Big Day

Yvette and Shane exchanged vows on a late spring day as gorgeous as they are.

We arrived at Yvette's bright and early to start the day with the bride and her sister, who was also the maid-of-honour.

Yvette's shoes have a label in each that says "Never Late." Talk about the ultimate wedding shoe!

The ceremony was held in a beautiful old church built with old limestone, lit on the inside solely by sunlight, diffused through its stained glass windows. Shane looked remarkably collected as his bride pulled up, and entered the church on her father's arm. If he was nervous, we couldn't tell!

Their reception was held in the function room in the Ocean Beach Hotel in Cottesloe. The venue was decorated with little items of Yvette and Shane's - starfish, shells - symbolising their mutual love, and that of the sea. The front-facing wall was a series of glass panels that overlooked every shade of blue in the ocean and sky.

After the reception was over, we snuck away with the bride and groom to City Beach, where Yvette kicked her shoes off in relief, and went splashing in the swash with abandon.

It wrapped up a great day perfectly; but don't take our word for it; the images speak for themselves.

It ended with a little bit of old Hollywood glamour:
