Do you think Adam has a problem smiling? You wouldn’t think so from these photos but also with Melinda around it was much easier to make him laugh! Melinda and Adam are getting married on 10/10/10 and I look forward to the challenge of making Adam smile again The session was done at Hyde Park and it was a glorious day after so many rainy and oppressively hot and humid days!

40 degree day and we survived! Ceremony at Beecroft Anglican Church, Photos at Bennelong Park, Putney and Reception at the gorgeous Araluen at Epping.

Some awesome things to note from Pip and Gareth’s Wedding :
1. The bridesmaids had their own style of dresses and shoes
2. They had their own colour bouquet too!
3. Pip had pink tulle added to her beautiful princess skirt.
4. Pip had the coolest plait in her hair with her curls.
5. Pip’s mum claims not to like photos and hides but she gave me big smiles
6. Despite the 40 degree day, noone fainted during the 90 minute church service and it was hotter in the church than outside!
7. We were still able to get a lot of great shots despite only having 20 minutes for the formal location photos with a big bridal party.
8. With the threat of thunderstorms, it started to rain the minute we had to leave for the reception (perfect timing).
9. My assistant Renee anticipating what I needed each step of the way – you are a lifesaver, thank you!
10. I got these photos to Pip and Gareth 10 minutes before they had to board their plane for their honeymoon.

Thanks to my assistant Renee for the photo on the right

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.
