Rebecca & Ben November 2008

This young couple were a pleasure to photograph. There was a unique feeling and warmth that came from each member of this bridal party. It was a great deal of fun, which I hope the pictures will reflect. These 58 pictures were hard to choose as there were so many highlights. I grew up with Rebecca's mother Michelle and it was an absolute pleasure to be of service to her, her husband and her daughter. The wedding pictures and reception was on Sydney Harbour and was a beautiful backdrop. No matter how many times I photograph Sydney Harbour I never get sick of it, in fact I absolutely love it. My assistant, Loren, wanted to experiment with the bridal party jumping in unison and I think she did well capturing that. The famous face of Sydney's Luna Park was a perfect area to have fun at. In one of the pictures you see below the bride and groom are laughing because a boat went past and the occupants yelled out "don't get married!" to which the Rebecca said "it's too late!" and then laughed raucously. It was a lot of fun. I wish the couple the absolute best wishes for their lives together and hope they will have a wonderful happy memory of their special day.

Helene & Charles - October 2008

What a wonderful wedding this was to be a part of. Helene and Charles are a mature couple who chose me to cover their wedding some months ago and I think we became friends quite early on. I really like Helen and Charles's down to earth disposition, courtesy and friendship. They are literally from nations half a world away, The Ukraine and Polynesia. They came together and fell in love. That love was very evident at their wedding as two people came together regardless of geography and history. They had some major sadness a week before the wedding with the passing of Helene's mother, though the happiness and joy that was evident on the night was real, they continued on with the wedding as it was her mothers wishes. Though the feelings of sadness may have been veiled, it was a genuinely beautiful celebration of life, love and happiness. The guests were all treated with cultural dancing from the Ukraine and from Polynesia and everybody loved it. There was colour, laughter and singing. This wedding struck me at it's conclusion of just how important it is to find someone in life to share your joys and life experiences with. I am a believer that there is someone for everyone, and find it incredible that people come together and find that "someone special" inspite of the obstacles. I wish Helene and Charles much happiness and a happy life together. Loren, my assistant, also really enjoyed the wedding and did a great job as well. I am confident she will remember this wedding particularly, for many years to come.
