Daniel + Jennifer

One of the nicest, best paired couples I have come across!  Individually these two are both the nicest people you could ever meet, but together they are stronger and I get this sense that they support and encourage one another.

As often happens Daniel got a little emotional seeing his bride walk down the aisle – I have to admit Jennifer did look amazing – there is nothing better in my job then to take photos of a bride getting ready and they are self-conscious about how they look, then I show them a few images and they say “wow I look OK”……. you look amazing Jennifer !

Both ceremony and reception held and the beautiful Red Feather Inn, Hadspen and the day was one of the hottest this summer – smoking hot !

Off honeymooning overseas, here are a few from your day guys – enjoy!

PS – I have to explain the image of Daniel getting ready, see when I met him just before his day he had glasses and I think he totally looked like Clark Kent – so we played on that a bit…

Julian + Julianna – “Trash the Dress”

So I have been offering, asking and almost pleading with some couples from the past few years to do a “Trash the Dress” session and until meeting these guys had given up pretty much on ever doing one.

For those who do now know what a “Trash the Dress” session is, basically it is another day where the couple gets re-dressed and we do some shots in places where you would not want to go near on your wedding day for fear of getting your dress dirty, or wet, or a combination of both!  Some couples go mad and really “trash” the dress with paint or heaps of other non-removable or fixable methods, my idea is to just go to cool spots that on a wedding day would not suit.

So the dress is not “trashed” more so the dry cleaner is really going to earn their money with this dress.  After looking at the day, I think the groom may have “trashed” his suit more than the dress !!  haha

It was actually Julianna who said she was keen to do it, being from the States it happens a lot more over there and it a trend that is very new to Australia and definitely Tassie !

So take a look and I hope this is the start of many “Trash the Dress” shoots that I get asked to do !!

Oh by the way, not only was this my first “Trash the Dress” shoot, it was in none other than a Vera Wang wedding dress – wedding designer to the stars !

Julian + Julianna

Last weekend I had another double wedding weekend, Friday was with Julian + Julianna – a really cool couple from the US of A, Miami to be precise.

I had not had much conversation with these guys due to different time zones and just being on opposite sides of the world, but when we met up I knew we were going to have a fantastic wedding day.  Julianna is such a beautiful girl, she has the thick American accent going on and her bridal party consisted of her best friend, step daughter and two of her best male friends – who were hilarious !!  Julian had 4 of his mates and they were just as entertaining, add to this a new church and locations for me to use and I was loving the day !

I truly had such an awesome time at this wedding, everyone was so welcoming and easy going but a lot of fun at the same time – I could re-shoot their wedding any day of the week and love it again and again !

Ceremony was held at the beautiful old Church on the main road in Westbury and their reception was held on a relatives farm just outside of Westbury in a marquee which was stunning.

Here are a few shots from the day day, enjoy……

Daniel + Natasha

Following on from the boys getting ready, here is Daniel + Natasha who were married at a property at Rosevears followed by their reception at the Tramsheds.

Such a hot day I think we all got burnt but that is a small price to pay for having such a fantastic day !

Enjoy….

Boys Getting Ready…..

Well “Boys will be Boys” and that’s definitely the case for these lads !

It’s not often that I go from taking images of rings in a bible with a heart shadow being cast across the page to what then followed, easy to say these boys take the award for most intense boys getting ready shots ever !!!!
