Wonderfully expressive couple, some quick spinning wedding bands (thanks boys ;) ) and a 30 year old bottle of Scotch…does it get any better? Just 3 aspects from Aleisha & Jens’ wedding over the weekend.

Jens’ Dad bought a bottle of scotch on the day Jens was born, gave it to him on his 21st birthday and along with his groomsmen Jens opened it on his wedding day. I think it did it was ‘mission accomplished’ with the calming of the nerves.

After preparations in Ocean Shores and Brunswick Heads, A & J were married in an intimate ceremony at St. Martin’s Church in Mullumbimby over the weekend on a simply perfect Winter’s day.

After exchanging vows (including a very keen pre-emptive “I do” from Jens), we had some time afterwards to get some footage and photos at a few stunning locations - Ewingsdale, The Pass and Lighthouse @ Byron Bay before heading into the Byron Surf Club for a great reception. A fantastic wedding all around with so many great moments.

I’ve used a very worthy portion of Aleisha’s beautiful speech to her new husband to narrate this teaser…

They’ve also chosen to include a magic moments clip which I cannot wait to put together knowing the amazing footage and moments that I have. It’ll be online in a couple of weeks so make sure you check back!

Have a great, relaxing honeymoon guys and I look forward to hearing all about it.

As always, comments welcome!

P.S. I actually think the Scotch was 28 years old, but 30 sounds sooo much better…

Not sure what it is with best men these days but they’re definitely delivering some knockout speeches.

In between a little friendly roasting (including a couple of the funniest mates stories I’ve come across), Brett’s best man Mike said some of the nicest things I’ve ever heard between a best man and a mate. I knew the moment they came out of his mouth that his words were going to be a perfect fit for their magic moments clip.

Here’s the magic moments clip from Brett and Haylee’s gorgeous Brisbane wedding.

As always, comments welcome…

It’s been a while in between posts as it’s been busy, busy but it will be worth the wait. There’s loads of fresh, cool stuff to share over the next few weeks from some amazing weddings. There’ll be 3 new magic moment clips, at least 2 more teasers and a love story so keep checking back. I’ve also got a personal project that I’ve been working on which I’m looking forward to sharing.

The AVPA* awards are also coming up in a little over a week which is very exciting. It was hard to decide on particular entries with so many that fitted the bill, but I have chosen 2 wedding highlights from 2009 which I feel are well and truly worthy.

I’m also planning on entering my new wedding showreel which I’m hoping will be well received by the judging committee. A big thank you to all my beautiful brides over the last 12 months (and handsome grooms too) for allowing me to share in such special and precious moments of your lives.

*The AVPA is Australia’s leading professional Video Producers organisation and AVPA accreditation is not simply paid for by an annual subscription. It is earned through a stringent judging process from leaders within the industry.
