Penny and Aris wedding
























Every meeting we have had with Penny and Aris during our time together has been filled with laughter and fun and their wedding day was no different. They consider Juanita and I as family which is such a lovely sentiment. The day started out once again with the threat of rain and it seems that these days in Sydney that the working week is fine and sunny but Saturdays seem to always have the chance of rain.
Penny was radiant the whole day and I love her fantastic smile and Aris was equally as handsome and so happy to be finally marrying Penny.
For me some of the best shots were taken in this little ally way in Paddington, it where the light was magical and the romance seemed to amplify between Aris and Penny.
One of the most important factors to a great wedding is the Bridal attendants and Penny and Aris friends and relatives are some of the nicest people you would ever want to meet, their enthusiasm, humor and style made what is normally a long day seem so much easier and seeing 12 people in a one meter alley way all having so much fun was so cool.
Juanita and I thank you Penny and Aris for giving us such a great day.

Lisa and Steve's wedding





















Lisa and Steve had planned to have their wedding out side the Waters Edge reception centre which has the beautiful back drop of Sydney Harbour. But because of the unseasonably cold and raining conditions the ceremony was held in doors. This however took nothing away from the beautiful and loving sentiment that Lisa and Steve have for each other. They included a sand mixing ceremony where they each poured different colored sand in to a jar and then sealed it. The different colored sand created a wonderful pattern and signified there different personalities and backgrounds.
This wedding was full of fun and laughter and it was hard to take a bad photo of Steve and Lisa because they were so happy. This wedding will always be remembered for many reasons and I want to thank Steve and Lisa for believing in me and for being very understanding and it meant a lot to me that you were happy and glad I was able to photograph your wedding.

Anella and Fausto Trash the Dress











It only seems like yesterday that Anella and Fausto were married but tomorrow (Saturday) they will share their fifth wedding anniversary.
They decided to celebrate their love for each other with a trash the wedding dress session which took place in the streets of Surry Hills and the very icy water of Bronte beach.
Anella and Fausto have not really changed much in the five odd years since we saw them last and their excitement for photography had not changed. I won two silver award images from their wedding and I think I might have a few candidates from this session as well.
Thanks guys for a lovely time, it was one of the most enjoyable mornings Juanita and I have had in a long time and congratulations on five rears together.
