Andrew and Chloe

 Barney also known as  'Andrew' although I only heard him referred by that name once ....country lad,  handy cricketer and all round nice guy. To top it all off I am thinking he is also the happiest guy in the world after totally marrying the prettiest girl in the class, Ms Chloe. This day had every ingredient as to why I love wedding photography. Fun and spontaneity mixed with tears of happiness. 

Beautiful (Style-ish) Chloe had her three besties along side her, all of them covergirl material noted.  I got the impression that the day was yet another significant milestone in their lives together as friends, with all girls married now, and sharing their memories (and a lot of laughs) this was yet another fond memory in the making.

Meanwhilst the lads. What can I say, we love country weddings. They don't like cricket. THEY LOVE it The boys told me how handy Barney was with the bat, and behind the stumps, although I didn't really pay much mind to it until I heard that sound of leather hitting willow..like..Thwaaack.  Right at that moment I realised I was standing a tad too close for comfort. Fearless photography happened and I'm thinking if I ever want to be a sports photographer I am going to have to get a bigger zoom lens to stand way back.

Fond memories .. but looking back on the day one of my favourite moments was visiting Chloes Pop in the nursing home after the ceremony. It was just one beautiful and perfectly priceless moment  that topped off  A gorgeous day and I was truly honoured to have been able to capture such a special moment.

Feeling grateful once again. I hope you enjoy these images from Chloe and Barneys big day as much as I did taking them.  xt

James and Rebecca

They say being a wedding photographer is a sacrifice, giving up your Saturdays to enjoy in somebody elses happiness. That it is a lot of 'giving', and yes agreed a lot of dedication is required. Though I ponder today the whole philosophy as I look back on James and Rebecca's wedding.
A  lovely roadtrip to Cootamundra:  pretty countryside tick, a quick coffee stop and friendly country faces tick, and devine blue skies, tick.   My first impression as I arrived at the family property and wandered through the garden transformed with lovely lanterns and the buzz of wedding day preparations,  was the sweet sound of the string quartet going through their paces, mixed with  little birds singing. Then I find the gorgeous bridesmaids,  (contenders..like for the most helpful bridesmaids of the universe badge, undoubtedly) The most gorgeous of brides whom despite it being her wedding day, was concerned if I had had some lunch? .. and then the dashing groom who made me continuously laugh throughout the day. I blame you for my wrinkles.

So,  I pinch myself how lucky (again)  I am to have a job like this. Here is a little piece of happiness for me and a lifetime for James and Rebecca.
