When I first met Jamie & Laura for coffee and a chat in London, I was a little bit enthralled with them both. Introspective and thoughtful, I knew that their wedding was going to be a quietly elegant affair and I could tell from their exchanges that it was definitely going to be a beautiful one.
One sunny weekend in summer, Lisa & Rory got married in the tiny little village of Hurley at the beautiful Olde Bell Inn. They started the weekend with a picnic and rolled out the blankets for an evening bbq for all of their guests. It was quite the occasion.
A little while later in between some time on the beach, Melanie & Duncan held their wedding in Bangalow, surrounded by their nearest and dearest. The Valiant was there and so were we and it was truly lovely.
Being a wedding photographer is an honor and a privilege, an invitation and a vote of confidence. Photographing a dear friend’s wedding is all of those things, plus the swelling of your heart, the shaking of your hands and the crying of your eyes.
I travelled all the way over to the other side of the world to photograph these two momentous events. First was the very intimate Byron Bay ceremony of five. It rained and it shone, she wore killer heels, he drove the Valiant and I witnessed the marriage of Melanie & her photographer husband, Duncan.
