Shane told his guests in his speech at his wedding that he wanted everyone to have “sore feet from dancing, sore mouths from smiling and to go home thinking that was a good party!”. And wow did those words ring true for everyone sharing in Shane & Amanda’s wedding celebrations that night.
Shane & Amanda make such a great couple, they don’t take themselves too seriously and not only do they give so much of themselves to all they love – they are extremely loved by all who know them.
Officiating at their wedding was not only so much fun but it was a real honour. Their day was filled with so many special moments and many laughs and one that their friends and family fondly remember.
Thanks to these wonderful images captured by their family friend Heath Morrison, I am able to relive that wonderful day again.
Amanda and Shane choose to have their wedding ceremony at Aria bar at the iconic docklands with the cityscape as the backdrop.
Amanda looked simply stunning in her beautiful dress lovingly made by her very talented mum Bev.
After arriving by boat, guests erupted into spontaneous applause as Amanda stood at the door with her dad and was preceded down the aisle by her elegant bridesmaids, dressed in black and her very cute nieces.
It was with much love and respect that Amanda’s father Frank greeted Shane on this momentous & special day.
Unable to contain their excitement at seeing each other for the first time that day, Amanda & Shane were delighted that this moment had finally arrived.
Their ceremony was a true reflection of them as individuals and filled with many moments of laughter and sincerity.
But the moment I announced them husband and wife is one that I will always hold very dear.
After the formalities Shane & Amanda made the most of the architectural landmarks of this great city.

Their first dance was a high energy routine which they choregraphed themselves, setting the tone for an evening of dancing and fun.
Shane & Amanda, words cannot express how wonderful it was to be part of this very special day. I wish you a life time of happiness.
