Chris & Karen (wedding)

19 Nov 2008

Chris contacted me whilst I was in Canada, and started asking me all about my camera and my gear… I could tell he was into photography, then asked me if I was available to shoot his wedding a few months down the track. Because someone changed their wedding date, I was free on that date at such short notice!

I made the mistake of trying to shoot Chris and Karen’s engagement shoot the day I returned from Canada at the end of August. I got  half way into it and was near ready to collapse, so next time I was in Sydney, we did a bit more.. it was cool because we got such different stuff the second time around. I’ll share those engagement pics in the next week or so!

Lauren came with me to shoot this wedding, no doubt she got some amazing shots, but truth be told, I haven’t loaded her card yet onto the computer. I might do a post with just shots that she took next week also. She really is impressing me with how much she is picking up! My girlfriend is awesome :-)

The Wedding was unique in many ways, but the memory that may stand out the most for me is that there was a blackout in Inverell during the reception, and the kitchen staff needed to borrow my video light so they could see the steaks they were trying to cook with their gas stoves.

Well folks, enjoy the photos of Chris and Karen and stay tuned for soooo much more this week.

p.s. I’m getting rather tired of this blog! I can’t even get the images to load in any order and then the thumbnails jumping around below… grrr.. stick with me though folks, things will be changed! I have spoken to so many of you who just find this new blog so annoying. I hear you!

  • I love photographing in Blair Athol in Inverell I tell ya!
  • Did I tell you I did a swap on a lens for a 135mm f2.0.. which make shots like this just sing!
  • Leaving for the ceremony
  • Blair Athol is a great place to have a wedding, or to have guests go in between the ceremony and reception.
  • nice walk folks.
  • Everyones favourite wedding car makes another appearance
  • The stairway in Blair Athol is rather nice
  • Another favourite.

  2. Hey JD, awesome shots as always. I love your image show.
    I think its great like it is.
    Nothing worse than waiting for images to load in the old fashion way.
    Ive been inspired by your blog that i have adapted the same picture loading system.
    Keep it up…looks good

Meegan & Clint (wedding)

18 Nov 2008

I met Meegan probably almost a few years ago now when she contacted me, asking if I could help her learn more about photography. I told Meegan about my real wedding day training, and she asked if she could take me up on the offer! Meegan came along to a few weddings, and also came to Armidale for some photoshop training, then eventually asked if I would photograph her wedding! 

So, recently, I photographed her wedding and what a blast it was! I was in tears during her daughters words in the ceremony…along with everyone else in attendance.

Enjoy the photos!

Lisa & Luke’s Wedding (post 3 of 3 today!)

7 Nov 2008

Ok, to finish off this marathon, I left the best till last. I  am so proud of these images, so blessed to have been part of a day that brought tears to my eyes on many occasions, and so happy that I got to share it with Lauren.

Lauren took some of the shots below too. Once again, if you mouse over the thumbnails you’ll be able to see the caption for the shots.

Lisa & Luke’s wedding was held in Kempsey and the reception was at the South West Rocks Surt Club. Amazing locations and people all day! It was such a dream.

Enjoy the photos! I’m sure you will!

  4. Image ‘classic’ Wow! Such a powerful image, yet so simple and subtle. It encapsulates a couples journey thru life so eloquently. Study it for a while and reflect on the wisdom within this image!
