a few images from home...
and then a mad dash to alverstoke where we were greeted by a handsome groom, and all the loveliness that is this heritage listed location...
brendon receiving a little flak from his mates for looking so stylish and smooth...
brendons mum and dad wondering how did their little boy grow up so fast...or that's what i think anyway...
and shireen's mum wondering when did he little girl grow into such a beautiful young lady...shireen is the only daughter with four brothers...
the priest who officiated actually christened brendon as a baby...so he too was wondering where the years have disappeared to...
love it when the couple is finally able hold hands in a formal ceremony...
we took off in the hot cars for a trip 5 kms down the road for a bit of fun on a windy road...we were only interupted by 1 grumpy farmer, 1 car load of hooligans and 1 outlaw motorcycle member...all in a days work...
then back to alverstoke where, because everyone was having so much fun, it took us a lifetime to capture this image...
a few portraits...
the bridal party were then obligated to return to the barn for their sumptious dinner...then we coaxed brendon and shireen to return to the grounds of alverstoke for some moody twilight images...
mike has been experimenting with extra light lately...creating stunning images with a unique glow...
love love love this one...by now the bridesmaids had joined in the fun...
despite loud protests from mike and i ("please dont go back inside we want to take more photos") the bridal party returned again to the barn for speeches...just couldnt resist posting this image of muzza, shireens dad, chuckling because he forgot his spectacles...
the best man was terribly nervous...but once joined by two jolly groomsmen had everyone cracking up with their speeches...
a pretty cake...
who would have thought that old fashioned lighting in an old wooden barn would provide such beautiful lighting...combined with a little spooky post-processing by yours truly...
beautiful image by mike - helped along with a little backlighting ...
love this image...
here is shireen with her lovely friend jodie and her her fiance ryan, who are considering booking us for their photographers for their wedding in january 2009..."pick us pick us - we work really hard and we are lots of fun and we are awesome picture takers!"...
another great portrait of muzza, relaxed and happy towards the end of a fantastic day...
mike chewing the fat (or sitting on his butt while i'm running around) with a fellow photographer...
a great shot of the crowd grooving to the tunes...just as i was about to join them, mike said it was time to go...bummer...
thank you, brendon and shireen, and your ever loving extended family and friends, for allowing us to share a warm sunny day at alverstoke with you...hope you enjoyed your honeymoon and wishing you many blessings for the future...
comp update: mike seriously rocked with the twilight images - BUT i held the light!!! (when the best man wasnt holding it to put his mind off being violently ill...)
