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.

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.

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!

After getting married in the local church, for the location photos, we headed out to the family farm, and up to the highest point for miles – not that it was really that high – but this lovely couple got engaged up there, and it was quite a view. (Also see if you can spot the woolly friends in a photo below.)

Their ceremony was held at Jesmond Uniting Church, (which was absolutely packed out) and then we ducked across the road to Jesmond Park for a few photos before heading off to the reception.

A good time had by all…

(A brief aside, Jo – one of the bridesmaid’s – had her Polaroid camera out. If you’re not in the know, they stopped making Polaroid film this year, and so these will be some of the last of those classic shots. Check the last photo below for a bit of a memory.)

Hope you enjoy the photos.

From the start of the day, I shot Lauren at her parent’s place, while Dave Payne followed Steve as they took various forms of public transport to arrive at the ceremony, over at Islington Baptist.

For our photo session we just ducked across to the road to Islington Park. As you can see, there’s a few traditional shots, but then they wanted photos on the playground! I’ve since been told by my photo lab guy that that’s the first time he’s seen that.

Thanks to Steve and Lauren and their bridal party for being a pleasure to shoot, and thanks to Dave again for 2nd shooting.

Enjoy the photos…

For photos we hit up the old Fred Ash building near Civic Park, and then headed down to the waterfront at Honeysuckle, a new photo spot for me. From there, it was over to Harbourview for the reception. A great day all round.

A personal note: I also took photos at Bec’s older sister’s wedding, and it’s a shame they don’t have more sisters. Both (and their husbands) were great fun and a joy to work with!

Enjoy the photos!

While the ladies were getting all prettied up, the boys went and hung out at Pippi’s down at Speers Point Lake Macquarie, where there were a few schooners and pool games to while the time away. Then it was back to photograph the bride and her bridesmaids.

The wedding ceremony itself was at Sacred Heart in Hamilton, and from there we headed out to a few picturesque Newcastle locations, from the fig-lined streets, to the top of King Edward Park with its sweeping panoramic ocean views and pine trees, then finished up with a few shots at Town Hall.

Finally, it was back to Noah’s for a reception like no other. Check out the cake photo below, I couldn’t stop laughing. There were quizzes and dancing and as I said at the start, a ton-o-fun.

Hope you enjoy the photos.

It was a great day for the wedding, with weather just perfect but incredible skies – obviously provided to allow for great photos. Some of the spots you’ll see in the photos below are Honeysuckle, Merewether Baths, the fort at King Edward Park and the fig trees on Laman Street.

This lovely couple certainly had great taste, as you can tell by their choice of cars and the funky cake. A great day was had by all!

Hope you enjoy the photos.

As you might guess from the photos, both Andrew and Nicky are quite musical, and we even got to hear them play a piano and cello duet together.

Many of the photos below are at the reception, which was at the Hunter Wetlands Centre at Shortland.

Enjoy!
