Before I photographed weddings, I never used to pay attention to staircases. Now I love them. This is the first picture I took of Emma and she looks amazing.

I love it when the Groom tries to catch a peak of their Bride.

I really like this shot because Emma is holding a little note than one of her little boys just gave her and as you can see from the looks on their faces, it was super cute!

This chap grabbed his shot without even leaving his seat - I like his style!

Emma & Glenn were so easy to work with for their portraits. They were more than happy to just hang out with me for 20 minutes and be nice and natural. I love this one of them just strolling hand in hand and chatting about their wedding.

This is another Bride and Groom portrait that I really like. The beautiful Langtons House in the background and a very happy husband and wife in the foreground.

Glenn was proudly glancing at Emma all through his speech and, I mean, just look at how he looks at her.

Because sometimes, the best first dance is a FAMILY dance.

Congratulations Emma & Glenn - Mr & Mrs, indeed.

Kim arrived in style in a pink stretched limousine. Wedding dresses are tricky to get out of cars, but luckily the driver was a gent and gave her a hand.

The first look. Here Charlie is stealing a peak as Kim enters the church. Sometimes the look on someone’s face says everything.

There can be a bit of waiting around at weddings - this chap came prepared!

I wouldn’t usually use one of these signing shots in the blog but I like this one so much because you can see Charlie - who was super nervous before the ceremony - instantly become a relaxed (married) man now it’s done.

Confetti always gets the smiles going. Always.

I felt a bit mean making Kim walk a few feet over the grass in her high heels, but she didn’t mind at all. I love the shot - I just had them sit there and chat for a bit. When I asked them to quickly look at me, I grabbed this nice, natural picture of them - love it.

This little dude is Callum and he became my little mate. I love this shot of him looking all disheveled and carrying the bouquet.

Because if you can’t have personalised champagne glasses on your wedding day, when can you?

I have some ‘better’ pictures of Kim and Charlie’s first dance but I think this is my favourite. I just really like them gently swaying around in front of the ‘love’ sign.

I see the Floss dance from every kid at every wedding and I swear I will never understand how they can do it so fast. These two are certified experts for sure.

The reason I love this shot so much is because there was a very big and very heavy sofa in this window space originally. Usually I don’t move things around too much but I really liked the space, so my second shooter and I struggled with the sofa and got it out of the way. It was worth the effort as I think that Jo looks amazing and the space shows off her dress perfectly.

I always try to use the details of the venue in the photographs I take, but on this occasion I can’t take credit for this funny little moment. Although I did take the picture, it was actually Henna - my second shooter for the day - that spotted this opportunity. Luckily, Jo was up for a silly shot or two and I always enjoy one of those!

Even at a wedding, when you are a kid, adults kissing is gross!

‘But first, let me take a selfie’. Mobile phones are a part of just about every wedding day now - I like to incorporate them into the story of the day where possible. Here Jo and her Aunt were posing and I decided to use her Aunt’s arms as a ‘frame’ and I was pretty pleased with the result.

Sticking with the selfie theme here!  Jo and Scott are big Harry Potter fans and they decided to incorporate that into their wedding. Each guest had a Ferrero Rocher at their table place with little paper wings stuck to them transforming, them into Golden Snitches. These folks recycled those wings by turning them into mustaches for this photo op.

Not everyone ate their Ferrero Rocher and this cheeky little lad sneaked back into the room as the venue staff cleared some of the tables away, and nabbed all of the remaining chocolate.

Finally the rain eased enough for us to pop outside for a few pictures. We took a lot of shots but I chose this one just because I like how Jo and Scott are just taking a relaxing stroll and chatting about the day. Simple and natural.

This little chap is a hero! As I was setting up my flashes by the dance floor, he was asking me all about them. I explained that they will light up the dancers and make them look really cool. He offered to be my test subject so I could ‘check that they weren’t broken’ and ran off to throw some shapes. I can confirm, he has moves!

The first dance. There are bunch of first dance pictures from this day that are technically better than this one but I chose this one just because of that look on her face. That’s love.

Okay so these guys love pork pies. While all of the other guests had fish and chips as the evening buffet, Scott and Jo had arranged that these two got a special snack - and they could not have been more pleased!

I love this image of Scott showing he can hold his own on the dance floor! He knew ALL of the moves!
