27 Nov 2009 John & Barbara | a wedding 73 years in the making

Something very special to share with this post.

At the end of October I had the pleasure of capturing my Uncle John’s wedding to his sweetheart Barbara in Manilla, NSW (about 30 minutes out of Tamworth). He’s 73 years old  (and to think some people thought it’d never happen!)

One of the advantages of getting married later in life that I hadn’t considered is being able to include descendants and relatives in the celebrations. Barbara’s 2 bridesmaids were her daughter and granddaughter - first time I’ve ever heard of 3 generations being in a bridal party and obviously very special.

My Uncle John has always been a natural performer, so to reflect this the edit has a quirky doco feel to it, with touching moments mixed with some humourous ones.

Here are the highlights. Enjoy.

The ‘phantom’  paint on the car is a reference to the reputation he’s developed over the years at the many, many family weddings he’s attended, where bridal cars would get mysteriously ‘decorated’ by an unknown someone…

11 Nov 2009 Gemma, Grant, Will & Summer | Evans Head wedding

In a word this past weekend was…inspirational.

A beautiful couple of events in Evans Head. Firstly an intimate wedding with Gemma and Grant which was followed by a naming day for their beautiful kids Will & Summer. Such a special day not only to honour their relationship with each another but also to make promises for the future to their children.

They’ve chosen to include one of our popular magic moments clips for their final edit which will be posted here once completed.

In the meantime be swept away by their love with this gorgeous little teaser from the day…pinky swears.

It was the first time working with photographer James Day from 3 words in Armidale which was just a barrel of laughs. Keep an eye out for the possibility of a potentially revealing “James Day highlight reel”… ;)
