Hayley and Phil’s wedding at Fig Tree Restaurant, Byron Bay, by Wedding Photographer – Follett Photography. What Hayley and Phil said about Follett Photography:
“We adored working with Leah Follett from Follett Photography leading up to our wedding, on our wedding day and afterwards – creating our wedding album and seeing all the great memories captured from the whole day. Leah has made this whole experience a dream. All the little things we had never thought about – Follett Photography had it under control. Leah and Nicole were a fierce photography team on the day, making the day so fun and captured some of the most amazing pictures of us and our bridal party. I am so in love with the candid shots of the guests and the intimate moments captured between my husband and I. My cheeks cramp from smiling so much every time I look through our photos, every moment, every small detail is captured. Thank you so much for giving us these memories. xox “
