married: Melanie + Tim: 7 August 2010

As mentioned in my previous blog entry... "Happy Days", I have been enjoying a little break before the upcoming busy wedding season, however on Saturday I had the privilege of photographing the wedding of Melanie + Tim. 

Believe it or not, I always get butterflies when I haven't photographed a wedding for a while, but as soon as I arrived to photograph Tim, and then Mel, that nervous feeling fluttered away. They were such fun and friendly people and we had a fabulous day!

Now for some wedding goodness! Enjoy...


Let's start with the invitations... classically beautiful.


I arrived to find the boys eager to get ready to start the day.


Aftershave. Smells delicious!


After the guys, it was time to visit Melanie as she prepared for her special day!


It's always exciting when the Bride steps into her gown for the first time!


A spritz of perfume...


A sprinkle of hairspray... and she's ready to go!


Melanie looked stunning when she arrived at the ceremony.


It was a very emotional moment for Tim.


Tim's Father officiated the ceremony and did a beautiful job.


First kiss!


Then big hugs for all!


What a beautiful couple.


The fantastic bridal party!


The gorgeous girls.


And the handsome guys.


Melanie + Tim's reception, along with their ceremony,  was held at Ayers House. Very beautiful.


They had a fantastic lolly buffet, which was extremely popular with the guests!


Hmmm... menu decisions...


Last minute makeup touch ups.


Cake cutting!


Melanie + Tim, what a great day I had photographing your wedding! Everything was perfect.  All the best on your superb honeymoon and I wish you every happiness for your future lives together.

Happy Days...


I know, I've been a bit slack on the old blog side of things of late, but have been enjoying a little break before the busy upcoming wedding season!

Today, however, I spent some time with my beautiful four year old twin nieces, Abigail and Brianna, so dusted off the ol' camera and took some happy snaps of them. I thought I'd share a couple with you because they're so adorable... not that I'm biased or anything!

Firstly I quickly want to say a huge thank you to everyone who voted for me in the Atkins Technicolour "ADELAIDE'S BEST WEDDING PHOTOGRAPH 2010" competition.  I came in a very close second place, with only 0.7% difference between me and the winner... I was absolutely thrilled with the result, so thank you!!! 



Now for the little cuties that I photographed today!


Silly little Abigail!



Hide and Seek around the trees!


Love this...


Aren't the delicious!

Well, that's about all for now... I'm photographing the wedding of Melanie and Tim tomorrow, which I'm extremely excited about!  Then in a couple of weeks I'm off to Thailand for some R&R and then it's Wedding Season!

Stay warm!  Big hugs and hot chocolates to you!
