Alicyn & Garth's Fiji Wedding 17th Jan 2007

It was both a privelidge and a joy to have flown to Fiji to shoot a Canadian couples wedding, who I haven't met till I arrived in Fiji for the wedding.

In Fiji at that time of year its their monsoon season there so it was no surprise when the wheather was perfect the day before the wedding day and perfect the day after the wedding ... but ... the day of the wedding it rained non-stop all day except for some light drizzel on and off. Finally they were married in the rain (light drizzel) and I was under the umbrella hehe ... the images you are about to see are a testament to the couple's determination not to let the wheather spoil the day ... instead they had a fun filled day and I managed to capture some stunning images along the way to remind them of not only the "day that was" ... but ... the fun and joy they experienced as well.

Fiji is a location I highly recommend if your considering an overseas destination for your wedding ... and the staff at the Warwick Fiji Spa and Resort were absolutely wonderful, especially Una the wedding co-ordinator at the resort.

She was fun to be with and a joy to have around (especially on a wet day LOL) ... If ever you are considering a wedding in Fiji ... I highly reommend the Warwick Fiji, easpecially as they cater so well for the accomodation your guests there.

I hope you enjoy this wonderful couples wedding ... as much as I did photographing it. ...

Laura & Jason's Wedding 6th Jan 2007

I photographed Laura and Jason's wedding as the first of many for 2007.

Little did I know it at the time, but it was to be one of the best years we have had for bookings since starting THP 11 years ago. I had booked 14 weddings within 10 days after I arrived back from shooting a Canadian bride & groom's wedding in Fiji. This started a trend for the year and resulted in me only having 5 weekends off since March till now (Oct) hence I've had a very, very busy year taking photos.

Laura and Jason were a very casual B&G and it was a real delight to have been their photographer. Although they now live in Sydney where Jason works, I still have contact with them from time to time and its always a joy for me to hear how there going and to catch up with them.

I very much enjoyed photographing their wedding were it started in the city's botanical gardens and progressed from there to the location shoot at surounding locations.

Finally they had some unbelievable images taken at Mt Coot-ha where their reception was held as you can see from the images above.

Shannon & Katherine's Wedding 3rd Dec 2006

Here are the photos for Shannon & Kathy's wedding I shot in Dec 2006 ...

Its now Oct 2007 and I have had a crazy year for weddings ... only 5 weekends off since March 07 hence I haven't had the time to update my blog like I'd like to hehe. During that time I have had many weekends where I've shot 2 and 3 weddings, even in the "normally" quiet times of June and July ... I've had NO weekends off at all, instead I've shot something like 12 weddings in June & July and in the month of Oct alone I have 7 weddings to shoot. I can't wait till the holidays hahaha ...

I useually shoot approx 2,500 images at most of my weddings these days, which leaves me little time for working on personal stuff like this blog hehe ...

Anyway ... Shannon & Kathy were a fantastic couple, I very much enjoyed shooting their wedding ... so "finally" here it is ... I hope you enjoy it ... and I'll try and catch up with the other weddings that are happening here at THP in a Best of, on this blog.

Please enjoy ...

21 11 06 - Robbie & Tahliea's - Wedding.

This is the wedding of Robbie & Tahliea. We had a very layed back style of wedding where the B&G wanted casual photos of their wedding.

We were fortunate with the wedding as it rained when we had only just arrived back at the Mariott after the locations shoot, as seen by the shot of the couple looking out of the window in the first image under this dialog.

Despite this, we managed to capture images that they will treasure for many years to come and I hope you too enjoy looking at them just as much as they enjoyed having them taken.

15th November - Katherine & Shannon's E-Shoot.

Katherine & Shannon have booked me for their wedding on the 3rd Dec 2006, and decided to opt for an engagement shoot to see how each will look infront of the camera.

Both had cancelled the photogographer they had already booked for their wedding after seeing the engagement photos on a wedding website and really likeing what I did for another of my clients. I was both amazed and humbled when I found out what they did. As you can see from these few photos, I aim not to disappoint them.

They were both thrilled and excited at what they saw and now can't wait till their wedding day ... I offer my clients a free E-Shoot and a free 11"x14" enlargement when they book me to photograph their wedding. ... Stay tuned to this space for the wedding results on the 3rd December 2006.
