One of the thrills and joys of wedding photography, is that I had never imagined it would lead to reconnections with old friends whom you have enjoyed a part of your childhood with. And best of all, to have the honour to document a very special part of their lives – their loves. You know you must put in your very best to capture moments that are telling of the couple’s chemistry, as the most simple way of appreciating them.
It gets even more pleasurable when they feedback of a wonderful time at the shoot and so readily pick out their favourite pictures for hanging on their walls.
When Jensen and Vicky first approached me to shoot their Actual Day wedding, I was delighted. Vicky’s a primary school classmate, a fiesty girl who topped the class almost all the time! So after years of losing touch, it was delightful even to meet up.
Then when the couple decided on a photoshoot in Adelaide, I was delighted first, for their trust and confidence, second, for being so sporting and spontaneous, and also for allowing total direction and creative play.
Enjoy the pictures.

And he gets the girl
