A Wedding at the Residences Centennial Park in Sydney

 

Rebecca and Christian

Rebecca and Christian wanted a small and intimate wedding that felt like a family affair. They wanted to treat their closest friends and family to an elegant night filled with love, laughter and a massive feast.
Held at "The Residences Centennial Park". It was the first wedding ever held there after some stunning and very serious renovations to the two properties,  "The Ranger's Residence" and  "The Superintendent's Residence".
The Bridal gown was Reem Acra's "Olivia" gown. A Victoria Novak "Charmaine" headpiece. Florist was  Jodie Mc Gregor.

35 Years for Healthy Harold

I was asked to photograph the 35year Anniversary Celebration of Life Education recently. I wonder if you remember Healthy Harold the Giraffe coming around your school imparting his wisdom?   An organisation that is Australia's largest provider of health and drug education to children and young people.

Little did I know until last minute who some of the high profile attendants were.
The Australian Governor general Sir Peter Cosgrove who is the Patron in Chief of Life Education Australia.  Malcom Turnbull (filling in for Tony Abbott). The Governor of NSW Marie Bashir and Phillip Ruddock all supporting the event.  Hence the extra set of batteries going into the camera bag ..just in case.
Great night for a great cause.

A bit excited about my new display album

My new display album of Simon and Alex(Audrey Hepburn look alike) has arrived and I love it. I have been searching everywhere to find a company that does work like this, understated, classic and the quality just beautiful. I sound over the top but it isn't always easy sourcing products. This one is definitely a score.  The main thing is the fine art paper and the way it is printed and also being able to spread the images over the whole 2 pages, so good for storytelling.

The wedding was at Observatory Hill Park with the reception at Wolfies at the Rocks, Sydney.
Why the apple on the second page ... Simon always carries apples or chocolate for Alex just in case of hunger. You can see he gives Alex the apple just after she walks up the aisle. How sweet is that!
