Katie & Robert

Last Saturday Jade and Myself had the pleasure of shooting the beautiful wedding of Katie and Robert. The wedding took place at the Glennifer Hall, just outside of Bellingen. Now this was a special place for Katie as her families properties basically surround the hall and her Grandmother and Grandfather where the first people to be married there.
Here are a few shots from the day.

Kataya & Richard

Friday the 12th of September rolled around and although threatened by a passing thunder storm, the day shaped up to be the best of the week. And I am sure even the best day of a life time for Kataya and Richard. Traveling down to the coast for something special for their big day, they tied the knot at Aanuka Chapel then after photo's at the quarry and Aanuka's own beach they celebrated with a reception in the breakers room overlooking the ponds and beach.
Thanks guys for a beautiful day and best wishes for the future.
Here is a sneak peek...

Amber & Chris

The weather was drizzly and damp, but behind closed doors Amber was glowing. She quietly sat while her hair and make-up team done their thing, occasionally breaking so Amber could sip on some Jim Beam and Coke to calm her nerves. A little extra calm came over the room as the dress went on and the flowers turned up. Vanessa again out done herself creating some wonderful Bouquets.
Then it was time to move down to the main foyer of Opal cove for what was now going to be an indoors ceremony.



After the ceremony we watched as the clouds parted and let through some beautiful rays of the setting sun. The walk to the beach was swapped for a trip to the trees as we headed out to the entrance of the resort. The trees form a tunnel that could only have been planned with wedding photos in mind.





Congratulations Amber and Chris.
Jade and I had a great time shooting your special day.

Sharen & Norm's PFPF wedding

PFPF?
Pirate, Fairies, Princesses and Fishermen!
I was thrilled when Sharen first told me that her and Norms wedding was going to be a themed event, so after months of waiting and a little fishing, here are some photos of a most memorable wedding.They both traveled to the ceremony via these uber cool bass boats. (Pirates flags and flowered arch included)
Norm nervously waits at the "Point of no return"...

Well everyone else does it?
Our fairy in the trees.

We decided when talking about there plans that we would set up a photobooth for their reception.
As you can see below, it was a hit with the guest, all of whom got up and had a go.
NB. I will be making a SP Photobooth soon so if you are getting married and you like something a little different, give me a shout and I will fill you in with the details on how you can have one at your wedding reception. Or anywhere really?




And the best costume award goes to......
I just had to get my ugly mug in there. Do you like my Moe-brow?

And my personal fav

Our quite little man turns ONE this week, so today we celebrated his first fantastic year with a nice low key birthday party. Here are a few shots of Harrison meeting his first birthday cake.....

He wasn't waiting for the knife to come out, he got right in there and helped himself to a wing.

Just a teaser that in a few weeks I will be shooting a wedding with a very specific dress code. This is gunna be one wicked wedding. Stay tuned for the post.

Our House

It's been too long since my last blog!
All though it is the quiet season for shooting, It has been a flurry of photo editing here.
(Sorry to all those waiting on photos).
But.... it has also been busy for another reason... oh and another other reason.... Well as you can see below, our new house is now well under way. I am so excited not only to have the new house and move back into Coffs, but also to fit out and start using my new office. The kids will really love being so close to the park.
(and KFC... will have to walk that off!).
Any way, check it out! Even includes 'an artists impression'.
Inside...
Oh and that other other news...
My beautiful wife is expecting number four in early Feb next year =) I know, I know Four Kids. I guess we gotta loose our hair sometime.
Jade, you are one brave and beautiful girl! Love you!

Cara's naming day

A little over 1 year after shooting Jacqui and Drew's wedding I had the pleasure of shooting the naming day ceremony for their daughter Cara. She is such a cute little girl with such a beautiful family. Just look at these little cheeks.
Congrats to Jacqui and Drew and everyone that was involved on what was a really lovely day.
Oh and I really loved seeing those huge canvas prints from your wedding day proudly hanging in your living room for all to see :)
As promised, here are a few shots to tie you over until you receive the full set.



PS. and a very special thank you to Nikita for helping me set up some wicked shots...
