This was a small and special wedding of two people who have been together already for some time. 2008 being a leap year where woman are supposedly given the opportunity to ask a man to marry, Vicki took that opportunity and proposed to Andrew. I love Vicki's sense of fun and spirit. She and Andrew have really found the ultimate in a relationship, a companion and friend. It was evident and obvious at each point of their looking and communicating. It is a rare find and I am proud to have come to know these fine people. Vicki is the mother of a lady whose wedding I photographed around 18 months ago. The wedding and reception took place inside Vicki & Andrews home in Castle Hill and was a beautiful occasion. I am proud to have created these images. Thank you both.

Tara & Michael - April 2008
I had photographed the wedding of Tara's sister Keira some 2 years ago, and Tara had expressed a desire to have me cover her wedding as well. It was a very simple and beautiful wedding. Tara looked radiant and displayed an innocence and beauty that was just gorgeous. I am confident that she and Michael will have a long and happy life together. She was so excited and the pictures show her happiness I feel. The shots taken at home would be amongst the best pictures where her bridesmaids, parents and grandparents were on hand with a few others to be a part of the vibe that set the tone for this wonderful day. The pictures were taken at home in Glenmore Park, they were married at the weir park in Emu Plains and then we travelled to Glenbrook lagoon and then to Richmond / Windsor and back to Penrith for the reception at the Happy Inn! A fitting place for a reception and wedding day end I submit. Thanks for choosing me to create these images you guys.

Joanne & Gavin - April 2008
Joanne & Gavin were a couple I met on the actual day of their wedding. I won't go into the details other than to say how fortunate and grateful I am for that opportunity. I found Gavin, and then Joanne, together with their bridal party, to be people of good cheer and people who extended the highest courtesy and respect toward me. I truly felt welcomed and appreciated. I honestly felt at the end of the day I had made 8 new friends. These pictures you see here below were an absolute pleasure to capture and create. There are a couple of pictures that you can just see the complete love and devotion Gavin has for Joanne. They will have a great future together. I wish them well on their journey and again express my sincere gratitude for having come to know them, and for being able to contribute to their families history. The Wedding and Reception was at the lovely Springfield House in Dural, the Park shots were at Fagan Park in Galston. You guys Rock!

Claire & Simon - April 2008
Claire and Simon chose me to do their photography a few months ago and I had a great time capturing these images for them. From the moment I arrived until the moment I left, I felt the excitement and happiness of the day from all whom were there. It was a very relaxed atmosphere, and though the chilly winds and the rain were near, the warmth from the festivities was great. It still remains as the only wedding thus far I have covered that had fireworks when the couple were cutting the cake! I wish Claire and Simon well on their journey together, thank you both it was a pleasure. This wedding was in the Hunter Valley wine growing region of the upper Hunter, north of Sydney. It was set on a beautiful winery called the Tamburlaine Vineyards. The owners were tremendous people who were hospitable and warm. Both the Wedding, the reception and location shots were in and around the vineyards and was a beautiful backdrop to such a great event. The contact details for Tamburlaine, simply click here below.
