Brianna and Andrew
These guys were just too much fun! From the time I met Brianna and Andrew I was the photographer going, ‘pick me, pick me!!!’ because I knew they were going to be a buzz to photograph.
Alana and Andrew
Such a happy and radiant bride, you may remember Alana from her E:session which we posted over a year ago! Effortlessly chic in her engagement photos to Goddess on her wedding day.
Karen and Jeremy
It’s always great to have a Newcastle wedding and re-visit some of the old favourite places to shoot. Newcastle has some stunning locations and you never get the same shot twice, as every wedding, every couple and every kind of day add their own feel to the locations.
Karen and Jeremy just got back from a whirlwind trip through America and as you can expect arrived home super keen to see their wedding photos. Karen can’t get in till next week so I promised a post to suffice. When I asked Karen what was the most memorable thing about her wedding she said it was that moment when she saw Jeremy down the aisle, they hadn’t spoken in the morning and that moment will last forever. Jeremy’s speech was also incredible and Karen said their wasn’t a dry eye in the room.
How romantic! You see, guys, it’s not just about the dress and the flowers! Its those moments on a wedding day that can melt a girls heart and she will love you forever for it! “To my gorgeous wife …” is ALWAYS a great way to start any speech … take note boys 
Kristian and Rebecca
Pugsley their dog plays a significant part in their lives and was responsible for carrying the rings down the aisle. The soft green grass at Tuscany was too much for Pugsley to decline and he belly rolled down most of the aisle, much to the amusement of guests.
Another special touch was the T2 gifts the couple gave each of there guest. These were simply wrapped with a brown ribbon and have been one of my favourite bonbonniere to date.
The wonderful Tuscany Wine Estate is always a pleasure to work with, if your looking for an amazing venue with plenty of picturesque vineyards backdrops all within walking distance than this is the venue for you. Kyle is the coordinator at Tuscany and I have worked with many of his couples over the years and they ALL sing his praises. Kyle works incredibly hard to look after all his couples and he is an amazing asset to any wedding. I love repeated work at such venues, its such a comfort knowing that everything will be perfect on the day for my couples leaving me to worry about nothing other than taking great photos on the day.
Sharing the love…
This post is really about a personal ‘Thank you’ to Addy, as seen here with her fiance Aaron. Addy has been a great friend over the last few years and I’m photographing her wedding in August 2011. Addy is from France and has been living in Australia for the last 4 years and her father whom I met last year, has his own little jewelry shop in Gueret, France.
Addy’s Dad has made our engagement / wedding rings and they arrived today. WOW! I had no idea when they were going to arrive as it was meant as a surprise for me, but funny, I had brought Addy’s images home tonight to put on a post and send her family a big, ‘ THANK YOU’, for putting their amazing love and talent into our rings, even though, then, I hadn’t seen them yet.
I guess it’s times like this that you realise everything is connected, and right now I feel so blessed to have such an amazing engagement ring – from France – on my finger – made with love, and now delivered with the help of friends, and finally by my (now official) fiance!
Addy, thank you for being such a wonderful friend and we all think you look absolutely amazing in these images and hope you and Aaron will treasure them over the years. It’s such a special thing you have done by arranging your father to make our rings, we truly love them and will treasure them forever. If you can translate this ‘love’ and ‘gratitude’ to your parents, we can’t thank you enough. We are so looking forward to your wedding in 2011 and I’m looking forward to capturing all the special moments you will share with your family then.

Jennifer and Richie
It’s so nice to zip down to Sydney to shoot a wedding, new locations are always exciting. I had photographed Jennifer’s cousin wedding a few years back and I didn’t even get to meet Jennifer and Richie till the wedding day. When a gorgeous Spanish girl marries a good looking Argentinean man there are bound to be some sexy moments to capture!
The reception was held at the breathtaking Ottoman’s on Sydney Harbour. The Rocks area gave us some beautiful settings to capture the vintage look Jennifer wanted from her wedding photos and the harbour added a more modern and dramatic twist to the photos. An awesome wedding, Ash and left Newcastle at 8am in the morning and left the restaurant at 10pm that night so it was a big day for us both, but worth every moment.
AIPP High Noon Shoot
As a full member of the Australian Institute of Photography, I joined hundreds of AIPP photographers in the High Noon Shoot on Sunday the 14th Feb. Members were asked to take a photograph at exactly the same time around NSW to commemorate whatever it was they were doing. Not only was it ‘Chinese New Year’ and ‘Valentines Day’ but the initiative was to highlight the diversity of Australian Life, and most importantly to raise money for the charity Miracle Babies, www.miraclebabies.com.au.
As usual Harvey (my fiance) and I in the midst of renovations were out in the garden knee deep in dirt leveling out our new backyard. The veggie garden and herb garden were the last few weeks efforts. A very content Valentines Day and Chinese NY. This is completely ‘us’ at the moment and when not out shooting weddings I love nothing more than spending time with my ‘Valentine’, as we build our new garden and renovate our home together. A Perfect Valentines / Chinese New Year clash.
I wonder what everyone else was doing …
Corey & Renee
I couldn’t leave for the weekend without putting a few images from Corey and Renee’s wedding up. Renee called me last week just home from an OS honeymoon and simply couldn’t wait to see her photos. The earliest appointment time was next week so I thought a sneak peek over the weekend might suffice.
What really came through with Renee and Corey’s images was the love, laughter and tears. A very emotional day full of beautiful candid moments. Father Hart loves to make his nervous Grooms squirm a little during the ceremony with some important matrimonial questions…poor Corey, its the last thing you need, nervous, in front of a full congregation, but Corey handled it all beautifully.
Some of the dancing entries from the bridal party into to the reception were fantastic moments! After, Renee’s fathers speech sent her into tears along with the rest of the room. Finally, Renee and Corey’s Bridal Waltz did their mothers proud, PERFECT 10! Putting effort into your Bridal Waltz folks really pays off, what a spectacular dance. What a wonderful wedding!
Erin and Stuart
Just a quick post to show you the a few highlights from Erin and Stuarts Wedding. Simple, elegant and beautiful, I think the photos say it all. Erin and Stuart have already been in to see their photos and we are very excited to see the album in completion, its going to be stunning!!! As always, it was a pleasure to work with Absolute Vintage and Margan Estate !
Hunter Valley Gardens Expo – Sunday the 7th Feb
Anyone planning on getting married in the vineyards should visit the HVG this Sunday for their Wedding Expo. We are super busy at the moment so we won’t be attending, but if you grab a wedding bag from the expo you will find a very special offer from Impact Images Newcastle.
The HVG is also launching the new venue at ‘Tempus Two’ in the barrel room which I hear is absolutely amazing, so well worth checking out. I have two weddings in the vineyards this weekend so you may see me running around Tamburlaine and Peppers Creek, hope you have a great weekend folks!
