Oh wow. I just had the most fun weekend I’ve had a long time. I flew to the Gold Coast to see my little brother Troy marry his girlfriend Da. And I was to be the wedding photographer!
The wedding was to be a fairly small affair at his mate’s house on the banks of the river at Tweed Heads. The day was perfect! In the morning I dropped my SLR camera from a height on to concrete and somehow it survived. That could have been a disaster! I had never shot a wedding before so this was going to a challenge for me. When I photograph something different I think about who the photos are for and what I would want to see if I were that person.
Apart from the great shots and perfect day, I got to see friends and relatives that I had not seen for over 10 years. None of my family live in Melbourne so I don’t get to see them much. After the official ceremony we headed to the house next door where the party was quickly getting underway and the wedding band started playing. Everyone started to get boozey and dancey… it was so much fun!!!
Here are just a few of the hundreds of photos I took on through the day.
