I was disappointed to hear that the graffiti wall that serves as a great background for these guys is no longer there. Bit of a shame.

So tomorrow it’s off to Coffs Harbour to watch (and photograph) this lovely couple getting married.

These guys were super keen, and still wanted to go ahead even though it was a freezing gale on a winter’s night, punctuated with driving rain for a few minutes at a time.

Enjoy the photos, and I’ll be bringing you their wedding photos Very Soon Now. (2 more sleeps…)

We headed down to Glenrock Lagoon near the scout camp. Wandering around the bush, Julia and Joel and myself discovered a mutual love for documentaries, but there wasn’t any wildlife around, so we didn’t get to make a documentary of our own.

Now their wedding was last Saturday, so I’ve added in a little sneak peek from the wedding photos at the end as a bonus.

This was a fundraiser towards a wheelchair and walking frame for Zac, who was born with cerebral palsy. He’s the loveliest and brightest little boy, who gets so frustrated by not being able to run and play with kids his age.

There’s a few event photos to kick off, but below you’ll see we ran a ‘crazy booth’ on the night. There’s a few examples – see if you can spot your local friendly photographer!

To view all the photos, head to the gallery page here. If you were there on the night, you can order prints and all proceeds go towards ‘Help Zac Make Tracks’.

I’m not that familiar with the eastern shore of Lake Macquarie, so we wound up at Balcolyn at a lovely little park on the point, with water on three sides. These guys totally relaxed and had a good time, and I hope you enjoy their photos.

The ceremony was held at All Saints Chapel, Woodville out past Morpeth, where Victoria Langham married them!

Due to the rain we needed cover for photos. Morpeth was crowded, so the courthouse at Maitland was a great spot for both staying dry and as a classic setting. From there it was back into Newcastle, to Bicentennial Park (Kate and Jame’s ‘local’) and finally off to the reception at Madison Inn

I had shot James’ sister’s wedding too, up in Gunnedah. While this time we were staying local, it’s always great fun seeing many of the same faces and families again.

That’s how we found ourselves at 7:30 out at Newcastle Beach for this shoot. There was much chasing of seagulls, but eventually things calmed down and a few photos were taken. I liked the tasteful grafitti in the second picture too…

I haven’t seen any couples high-five after their first kiss, nor have I had a location shoot on top of a cliff in the middle of a national park before. These guys know how to have a bit of fun. We finished up the day with the reception at Vicary’s Winery.

Hope you enjoy the photos, I know they did.

They just have to step outside their door and they’re at Centennial Park in Cooks Hill, the perfect spot. Hope you enjoy the photos.

Do check out the last photo, and you’ll see they’re actually Bella Swan and Edward Cullen in disguise. Except James and Kate actually have more than one facial expression.

But that doesn’t mean these guys were uptight at all, in fact they were just so happy and crazy in love, it was fantastic to see.

From the ceremony at Globe Church, we headed off to Merewether Baths and Civic Park for photos, before heading off to the reception at West’s Mayfield

Enjoy!
