During some random internet searching I came across this site, quoted from the front page:

Go ahead, you know you want to. Trash it. Get it dirty. Get it wet. Roll around in the mud. Drench it in the ocean. Totally trash it. Why? … Why not? You’ve made a commitment to your husband. He’s your one and only true love, right? Then you’ll never need the dress again. And no, your daughter won’t wear it in 20-30 years. So you have two choices: 1) Suffocate it in plastic and throw it in a closet 2) Show your husband how committed you are by trashing the dress, and get some great fun pictures while you do it!

Now click on this link and see how a number of Brides have “trashed their wedding dress”, there’s some fantastic shots & some ideas you may want to try if you’re willing

Sunday had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Katherine and Brendan. Instead of posting some regular photos, thought I would share some of the detailed pictures I take. These images are generally used in the final album, background, corners, special effects, faded, and various different ways.

The rings, one of the first things I ensure gets captured at every wedding.

At an orthodox wedding, there is always a lit candle at the front.

Some wedding cakes have amazing detail, as the roses on this one.

At the reception there was a nice touch on the bar, chocolates & candles.

Today I had the pleasure of photographing Bianca’s & Paul’s wedding. The building Lauriston House is where the ceremony & reception took place. The weather was definitely, not in our favor:

• Grooms house - rain
• Brides house - pouring rain
• Lauriston house - rain, slight break & more rain.

It’s ironic that Sydney is experiencing the worst drought in 1000 years yet we still manage weather like this. The ceremony was meant to have taken place in the beautiful gardens however the weather forced it indoors. Later in the evening after the rain had stopped and the formalities were over we managed sneak outside & capture some shots like this one.

I love old sandstone, 1800’s period buildings. In the daytime they provide texture / grain which compliments portrait photography. At night if they’re lit up correctly, they look even better.

Bianca & Paul, thanks for sharing your day with me & hope you have a long & happy life together.
