Miss Madisons Toothless Grin!

I occasionally have some of my portrait clients telling me that they want to wait until their kids teeth grow back before getting some more professional photos taken…….

I say, why wait? Embrace childhood and the toothless grin!!!

Ballina Bridal Expo

On Sunday I spent the day at the 2008 Ballina Bridal Expo. It was my first time exhibiting there and I was amazed by the amount of people who visited my stand. Thank you to my current clients who popped in to say hello. It was great to see you!

I would also like to say hello to my new clients. It was great to meet you and I look forward to learning more about you and your wedding day. Thank you for allowing me to share your wedding day with you.

Thank you also to Anthony for helping set up, getting coffee, manning the stand when I went and checked out the expo and just hanging out with me for the day and also to my Mum for minding my girls so I could do this!

Amanda and Wally

OK…I confess….I am the worst blogger on the planet of late…..BUT, I am going to make amends…Tuesday is now BLOG DAY! Yippee!! I am planning to be blogging more regularly, but I’m not making any promises!

However, that is not the reason I am blogging today. Last weekend, I had the amazing opportunity to shoot a gorgeous wedding.

It took place at Green Point, Angourie, a place I’ve often shot at and really love. The couple, Amanda and Wally were lovely.

I arrived while Amanda was getting the final touches on her make up:

And grabbed the chance to get a couple of shots of her sons-what stud muffins!

All glam and ready to go:

A quick hug from Amanda’s sister:

I’m loving the light as Amanda walks down the ‘aisle’:

Green Point is a beautiful location for a ceremony:

The kiss!:

This simple gesture just shows how much Wally loves and supports his new wife:

Everyone was getting into the photo taking action:

We played some fun games while taking the bridal party photos!:

I couldn’t be happier with a cool drink and a camera in my hands either!:

After the ceremony we headed down to Lake Wooloweyah for some relaxed portraits:

We were chasing the light, so once the sun had set, we played around with some cool silhoettes:

The boys and I climbed into the limo and rocked out a few shots!:
