Zachary took Olga completely by surprise when he proposed to her during a picnic on the Central Coast.
Having spent weeks telling her that he wasn’t ready to get married, Olga was upset, even crying to Zachary’s mum and sister. However, they both took the day off work and planned a romantic day together.
“I thought it was to make up for telling me he wasn’t ready to get married!”
He then got down on one knee and asked her to marry him. Olga was so overwhelmed with emotions that she didn’t even remember saying yes, just that she couldn’t stop crying!
Their wedding was everything that they could ever hope for, filled with love, laughter and happiness.
“We had the most incredible day and night with the people that meant the most to us. Our aim when planning the wedding was to make it as fun as we could for everyone and once the formalities were over, we were ready to party.”
And party they did! With 360 guests, the happy couple had an enormous dancefloor that was hardly ever empty. With festive drums and a stunning reception, the newlyweds danced all night long.
“The whole day was unique, but I have to say, my husband’s Michael Jackson moves were a standout and a party favourite.”
The most surprising thing leading up to the wedding was the advice given to Olga about wedding photographers.
“A fair few people had said to me that on their wedding day their photographer annoyed them and tired them out, but on our wedding day Shayben and the team from Siempre were a dream!
“Not only did they capture the day beautifully, but they were so much fun to be around. They joined our celebrations and we absolutely loved their company.”
The gorgeous photography showcased the beautiful couple’s love effortlessly, perfectly capturing some of the most endearing and hilarious moments of the night, with some stunning standout pictures.
“The story of Zac and Olga, what can we say – this couple was so much fun to work with! We love to photograph couples who are just aching to make the commitment to be together forever,” said the team from Siempre.
“We are all about capturing real moments from every wedding we shoot. As goes for Zac and Olga, we took a back seat approach on their wedding day, letting every moment, feeling and emotion happen organically and we were there the capture it all.”
Congratulations to the happy couple!
