Victoria & Raph . Sydney, Australia

by

Victoria and Raph were married at Shakespeares Point at Neilsen Park in Sydney earlier this year. I came along and took some pictures for them. It was a pretty amazing day, the sun shone, there was a bride and a groom madly in love, a pretty dress, an accordion player, people were merry, the waves were crashing and the sunset was lovely. Beautiful words and stories were spoken about loved ones, tears  fell and laughter filled the room. People ate good food and danced the night away to  great music. All the ingredients were there for a beautiful wedding and it lived up to all that it was meant to be, a mighty fine day.

LISA + STEVE . SYDNEY

by






















































































































Lisa and Steve flew me over to Sydney to photograph their beautiful wedding at Wendy Whiteley’s Garden in Lavendar Bay and reception at Fisherman’s Wharf Chinese Restaurant at the Fish Markets. One of the most enjoyable parts of my very wonderful job is that I get to step into peoples lives for a day and experience something different to my own life. I am a people watcher. Im fascinated by people to know end. I could sit in an airport all day and watch people coming and going, making up stories about their lives. Its the reason I am a photographer. The reason why I am a people photographer and the reason why I am attracted to photographing weddings. I get to people watch but I do not have to make up stories about them, I get to step in and experience them. I love that I get to experience all different types of wedding ceremonies, different cultures, religions and different family dynamics. I love when a couple from two different cultures come together and seeing how they combine both their heritages in the most spectacular fashion. I loved the importance Lisa and Steve placed on all their dear family and friends throughout their wedding day. There is a quote I have been thinking a lot about lately, a quote from Christopher McCandless “Happiness is only real when shared”, these words were his final diary entry before dying in the wilderness alone. I cant think of anything truer about happiness when I look back at the images captured at this wedding.

Lisa and Steve, thank you for bringing me to Sydney and letting me step into your lives for a day. I loved it.
