Annie and Dan, or what I like to call them now – Dannie (like Brangelina!) had an incredibly relaxed wedding at the Mandalay on Saturday. Everything was very well organised by Annie and Dan was the appreciative husband in his speech. I was touched by Dan’s heartfelt speech to his parents (yes there were tears on my part) and I also laughed at the childhood stories that his sister, Vanessa had to tell! Please enjoy these pics from what seemed like the perfect wedding day (we will ignore the humidity part)!

It was very hot!

What a lovely morning spent on the beach. This was my first engagement session with a doggie – I was so excited when Sandrine and Ly told me about Odyssey! She is an important part of their family so they couldn’t imagine doing the photos without her! We almost had the beach to ourselves so Odyssey was able to run around and play in the sand while her mum and dad were getting their smoochy pics done.

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
