Elise & Matthew's Wedding at Sky High

2012-01-31T20:40:00.001+11:00

Elise & Matthew's Wedding took place Saturday at Mt Dandenong.

I am pleased to write that they lucked out again with the weather and deservedly so, considering their level of organisation. They also lucked out with their bridal party who were perfect. Mark you win Best Man of the Year hands down.

I was lucky enough to catch some special moments for them throughout their reception as you will see in the images below. The moment Elise's dad kissed her during their dance was powerful.

I am often asked by couples if there is much to photograph during the reception and whether it's worth it. Maybe some of these images will help explain why I think the reception is important to record.

Congratulations Elise and Matt and enjoy the honeymoon.

Here are my favorites.

2011-03-11T08:52:00.002+11:00

Dafna & Steve's Wedding Day took place Friday in windy Wellington and it was seriously windy at times. Photographing this couple was fun as was working alongside Pete May. Dafna & Steve ended up having a free second photographer and it was Pete one of the founders of one2one.
So Dafna & Steve's wedding took place at The Boatshed a heritage listed building in the heart of Wellington. They took photos there and nearby and even got to watch some modern dance.
I met many awesome people at this wedding and I thank them all. Was great seeing Mary and Yuong and very young Sasha a couple Steve and I photographed a few years ago.
So here are their blogged images and the rest will be ready in a few more days.

Christine & Marcus were married at St Haralambos Church in Templestowe. The skies threatened to change their plans but when dry weather was needed, it arrived.
The bridesmaids looked fantastic in lemon and their parasols were eye catching accessories. The boys were like something out of The Godfather. A spectacular stretch limo transported them for photography at Hosier Lane and Fitzroy Gardens.
Chris & Marcus what a great wedding you guys had! Thank you for allowing me to be a part of it and here is a selection of shots for you to reminisce. Enjoy your honeymoon and I will see you on your return.
