Groom Style – James

21.08.14
Groom Style

For their beautiful Handmade Country Wedding, Lauretta and Groom James created a relaxed and rustic style, which was perfectly complemented by James’ mismatched waistcoat and trousers from Roger David and shoes from Zu. We just love the individual and quirky nature of their day!

NSW couples! Are you looking for natural and candi NSW couples! Are you looking for natural and candid wedding photography? Well, then, we'd like to introduce you to @ap_photography_au!⁠ ⁠ Anthony of AP Photography says, “Wedding photography is more than just having a photographer there to get the first kiss or the first dance. It's about telling a story of one of the most important, happiest and special days of your life! Those moments that join it all together, images to show your children (and grandchildren!) how true love is supposed to be.”⁠ ⁠ We love this approach and know you will, too! To learn more about his ethos, head to the Polka Dot Directory – link in bio!⁠ ⁠ Also, Wedding photographers, have you signed up for a Polka Dot Membership yet? All the deets and perks are at the link in our bio.⁠ ⁠ [Image description: This pair of newlyweds are standing with their foreheads pressed together in front of a vibrant red wooden farm door. The bride on the left is wearing a shimmery white dress with a woollen shawl. In one hand, she holds her rustic bouquet, and the other holds a champagne flute. The groom also has a champagne flute while wearing a simple grey suit.]⁠ ⁠ #PolkaDotWedding #FeelGoodWeddings #AustralianWeddings #AustralianWedding #WeddingVendors #WeddingDirectory #WeddingPhotographer #CandidPhotographer #WinterWedding #WeddingWebsite #WeddingInspo #WeddingInspiration #WeddingBlogger
Have you ever felt invisible on wedding blogs and Have you ever felt invisible on wedding blogs and magazines? Like no matter how much you scrolled you could never see yourself represented? Like you weren’t “cool enough” to be featured? Like you didn’t fit the mold? We want to change that. While diversity and inclusion are at the heart of Polka Dot Wedding, we don’t want to exist in a bubble. We know there’s work to be done. And we’re ready to do it. That’s why we’ve launched the State of Wedding Media survey. It’s anonymous, and asks the real questions: How do you see yourself represented? How often do you see disabled couples? LGBTQIA+ love stories? Older couples? Plus size couples? Cultural celebrations? We’ll publish the results next year for everyone to see and everyone to benefit from. But we want you to know. Your voice matters. Your story matters. And we want to make sure it’s celebrated every bit as much as ir should be. Link in bio.
