Happy Monday Dotties! I have been getting up earlier than the sun these past two weeks and it’s been a special kind of magic seeing the sun rise as I go about my work. The cold weather makes it all the better for endless cups of tea and that in itself makes my soul happy.

It’s the first day of our week of happy wedding inspiration so it’s time to highlight, spotlight and show off the members of Ms Polka Dot’s Directory.  We have Cinematographers, we have Specialised Services, we have Venues, we even have Hair and Beauty! We are thrilled to have our vendors on board to help you with all aspects of your wedding planning – why not take a look and find your perfect match?

There is a soft, clean, light quality about Light and Shade Photography’s photographic style. Nature’s grasses and trees play as much of a role as the light and the shadows in the photographs, but with the bride and groom always playing the central role in each image. Emotion and the little details shine through – giving the feeling that you’re almost there enjoying every moment!

We asked Michaela of Light and Shade Photography five questions in five minutes –

What is your favourite after five drink?

Mojitos with lots of lime!

Your favourite weekend getaway?

Byron Bay or anywhere with a beach!

Favourite restaurant?

I love Peasant at The Barracks in Brisbane. It is finger lickin good!

What can we find you eating for breakfast on a Sunday morning?

It has to be fresh poached eggs from our brothers farm with bacon, avocado and garlic mayo on a toasted turkish bread! … and coffee, always coffee!

Your favourite wedding story?

Probably anything to do with hardship – it gets me every time. One couple married just before the husband was leaving to serve in Afghanistan. It just added this extra emotional intensity to the day.
