Sharon & Paul's wedding at the Fiji Outrigger







Sharon & Paul had their wedding at the Outrigger in Fiji recently. 18 guests joined them there and although the weather the day of the wedding, looked "threatening", we did manage to get through it without any problems. It did rain though, not long after we arrived at the reception, the timing couldn't have been any better.

The folk at the Outrigger were simply fantastic!, there happy, friendly nature and the quality of service there is really hard to beat. The reception was a lovely intimate, private affair where all present simply loved the romantic atmosphere there in a "hide-a-way" spot, chosen by the bride and groom.
Paul & Sharon first met approximately 15 years ago, and who knew that such a fairytale story was yet to unfold that would lead them to their special day! After being the very best of friends for over a decade, and seeing one another through many ups and downs, it was not until May last year that Paul decided the time was right to do something about his undying love for Sharon & he decided to propose at a romantic restaurant in Cairns! Sharon was stunned, thrilled and of course said YES!!!!!! This beautiful love story proves that our soul mate is often right under our noses!!!.


I absolutely loved shooting there as it provided lots of opportunity for lots of stunning photos and there was heaps of locations there at the resort to choose from. They were married at the chapel, up on the hill and the view was simply - breathtaking !!!.


Sharon wrote to me this email to let me know what she thought of her photos ...


"Hi Peter WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am speechless! They are absolutely amazing shots! ....... I cannot wait to see the rest! Sharon."
Hehehe ... My pleasure ... Thank you both for having me as your photographer, you both looked simply stunning, which is the main reason, your photos look so good.


Enjoy guys ...


Pete.

Catherine & Angus's E-Shoot




Catherine & Angus are such a wonderful couple. It all started for me, when Catherine first saw one of my ads in a magazine a few years back and remarked ... "one day when I get engaged, I'm having this guy take my wedding photos ...". Catherine then followed my work in the various magazines over the next few years till ....

She met up with Angus and as time would have it, it wasn't long before Angus popped the question and Catherine gave me a call. Next after booking me to shoot the wedding was for them to have an E-Shoot done ...

We took these nice photos of them both and Catherine made the remarked when she saw these images, that "these are the nicest photos, ever taken of me ...". No doubt they both enjoyed the experience of having an E-Shoot done, just as much as I did enjoyed photographing them.

Tracy & Luke's Wedding


Luke and the boys at his wedding, brought a packet of cigars with them for the location shoot, which made an awesome opportunity to capture some really fantastic images. Dispite the heavy rain in the preceeding week leading up to the wedding, which incidently made the air really clear for the shoot. This made it an ideal situation for the smoke to show up really clear in the photos.
Tracy & Luke are a real sweet couple, although it was an exhausting day for Tracy having been up since early morning, we managed to do the trek on the location shoot at slaughter falls without to much trouble hehe, as the roads were cut off and we had to walk what seemed ages to get to the spot for the photos.
Thanks guys for a real exciting shoot.
