There were tears. Lots of tears. And that was just from me! Amy and Roth, thank you for inviting me to capture your day. You truly made me feel part of the family and I was very touched by your ceremony and also your speeches. I wish you all the best for your long and happy marriage and I look forward to flying down again so we can do your ‘trash/love the dress’ session. Would love to also go back to Adelaide for more weddings – I am so in love with Hahndorf and the Adelaide Hills!  And the rocky beaches are great too!

Ceremony was at Craigmore Church, photos at Uleybury Winery and the reception was at Gumeracha Town Hall. The cars, a convertible BMW and Mini Coopers were provided by Roth’s brother who works for BMW – nice!

Have you heard of Trashing the Dress? I prefer to call it Love the Dress as it is all about showing off your favourite item from your wedding day! Tash and Robbie were willing to throw away any worries about wrecking their attire and delved into the crazy wilderness of Hallett Cove in Adelaide. This wilderness use to be a glacier – like in Norway – very spectacular! I love the pebbly beach although it wasn’t too comfortable for Tash

Unfortunately Tash was not happy with her wedding photos (another photographer) so two years on she decided to take the opportunity for another session to show off her love for Robbie and her dress in spectacular fashion! I love how unique Tash’s dress was with the blue chiffon and the matching veil with blue embroidery.

Mel and I had been chatting online for a couple of weeks about her gorgeous beach wedding on the Central Coast and I could feel a real connection and felt that we would get along well in person and I was right! Mel and Kai are such open and loving people (just like myself). And Kai, yes it is true – you had the whole rockstar thing going on when you were strutting it on the wharf and the beach – tall, black shirt with jeans and the ultra cool shades! Thanks guys for such a fun time, I look forward to meeting all your friends and family in March, especially those from Norway and capturing great moments like we did for the ESession I absolutely love Bather’s Pavillion both as a venue but also for photos!  I highly recommend it for your wedding reception

And then the beautiful sunset reflected in the Bather’s Pavillion windows…

When a couple tell me they are not photogenic (and it happens sometimes), I usually expect them to be quite awkward in front of the camera and not feel comfortable. But Annie and Dan were naturals and are absolutely amazing in front of the camera so all I can say is maybe they are good liars hehe But seriously, I want to thank them so much for being patient to have the most perfect weather for their sunrise session on Saturday. We postponed I think it was 5 times because of the unpredictable summer storms. Annie and I had been chatting for months about this session and we really couldn’t believe when it came along! Annie and Dan have a great connection and were so cute when I told them to stand in front of a stone wall and be goofy, there was ear-pulling, tickling, fish kissing and model posing! Thank you sooo sooo much guys, I can’t wait for March 6 at The Mandalay in Lane Cove!

And I just love the series of photos we got as the sun was rising – a magical time of day!
