Today I had a beach wedding, at a great location overlooking the ocean called Shellys Beach - Cronulla. Mandy and Wazza would have to be the most relaxed & down to earth couple I have come across in a long time, and the atmosphere was a true reflection of this.

The weather in the morning was fantastic for the beach, I was putting on sunscreen & making sure I had my hat in my bag, however by the time 3pm came along, a sutherly had changed the weather to heavy overcast, cool, windy & threatening a thunderstorm.

Irrespective of the prevailing weather conditions, still managed to take some gorgeous shots taking advantage of the surrounding lanscape & scenery

The guys were fun, here they are posing for the next Australia’s Most Wanted poster.

A couple of Mandy, I couldn’t take a bad shot of her even if I tried.

At the reception, every table had a couple of disposable camera’s for the guests to play with. This kid was my aprentice for the night

Candid’s are my favourite type of shots, and this one of Mandy grabbing a piece of the action early during their first dance is one of my favourites of the day.

This isn’t the first time I’ve been to a Macadonian Orthodox Wedding, and if I’m not mistaken, the last time I was at the same church, Saint Kiril & Metodija in Rosebury NSW. Now, from a person who doesn’t understand a word of Macadonian, I can tell you one thing, Orthodox is Orthodox and I knew exactly what was happening now & what was going to happen next. This may sound trivial however it’s important to be at the right spot to capture those signifiant moments, the rings, the crowning, the ceremonial walk.

Audri & Daniel share their first kiss as a married couple.

Our first stop for photo’s was at a unique location called Jacksons Landing. This is an old wharf that has been converted to offices, and there is even a function centre upstairs….. I’ll mention it’s name next time I have a job there

Audri & Daniel with the coathanger in the background.

I suppose I should explain to the non-Sydney visitors of my blog. The ‘coathanger’ is the what the locals call the Sydney Harbour Bridge. There was a fresh breeze blowing at the end of the wharf, and with Audri’s beautifull veil we captured some free-flowing images of it.

The flower girl (pictured) made me laugh. I called her Lexi since that’s what Audri & Daniel were calling her, she snapped at me with “my name is Alexia”. Attitude at that age, guys look out.

On the other side of the wharf Audri & Daniel sat down for a glass of champagne & a rest.

Cheers & congratulations.
