Some love stories unfold like a fairytale, and we’ve had the absolute honor of capturing every chapter of this one. From their maternity session at Stanley Mills which turned in to a surprise proposal to their newborn session and many mini shoots in between, we’ve witnessed the beautiful journey of Nathan and Petra as they built their life together. And now, the pinnacle of their love story— their wedding day— was nothing short of magical.
I still remember the day Nathan messaged to inform me he planned to drop to one knee at their maternity photoshoot, catching Petra completely off guard. The raw emotion, the tears, the sheer joy— it was a moment frozen in time, one that set the stage for a lifetime of love. Fast forward to their newborn session, where their tiny miracle Michaela made their love even more tangible.
Each session felt like a stepping stone, leading up to this moment. And when their wedding day arrived, it was as if every piece of their story had come together perfectly.
From the moment we arrived at Piperdam Resort, there was an energy in the air— one of excitement, love, and celebration.
The ceremony was a dream. As Petra was piped down the aisle, everyone paused. The way Nathan looked at her— pure love, admiration, and awe— brought everyone to tears. Vows were exchanged, rings were slipped onto fingers, and with a kiss, they sealed a promise that had been years in the making.
The reception was nothing short of a fairytale. Twinkling lights, heartfelt speeches, shoutout to Harvey the grooms nephew who had the whole room in tears and a dance floor that stayed packed from the first dance.
This wedding wasn’t just another event to capture— it was the culmination of a journey we had been privileged to document from the very beginning. Seeing their love story come full circle was a reminder of why we do what we do.
As they embark on this new chapter as husband and wife, I have no doubt that their love will continue to grow, just as it has through every milestone we’ve had the joy of capturing. Their wedding day was the perfect ending to one chapter and the most beautiful beginning of the next.
So to the new Mr & Mrs Black, thank you for allowing us to be part of your journey. Your love story is one for the books, and we cannot wait to see what the future holds for you both.
Here’s to a lifetime of love, laughter, and unforgettable moments.
With love,
Caitlin & Robyn
