I’ve been saying to myself all this week that I think I might be a little bit in love with Tamaryn. In every single photo I have of her she just looks that gorgeous. Forget photoshop. Straight out of the camera she’s a natural. If you know Tam and her whole “hair” story, you’d know this could just as easily been a completely different situation. I love how life just has a way of working out when you need it to!

Dan & Tam’s wedding took place on Australia Day weekend, up at beautiful Noosa. I had the gorgeous bride, I had the great location, all that was needed was an awesome dress as well. Tam had asked me a while back who my favourite designer was - so I almost squeeled with delight when I discovered a Hilde Heim gown hanging in the closet. I love love love Hilde Heim. It takes a certain type of bride to pull off wearing one of her gowns, but Tam was more than up to the challenge. From the moment she slipped into that thing, she owned it. Nothing makes me happier than photographing a bride who is completely “into” being in front of the camera and revelling in it. Not shy, not embarassed, just ready to BRING IT ON!

The ceremony was held at the reception venue, the Waterfront Restaurant, under the big tree that provided some respite from the scorching afternoon heat. Tam & the girls made their way over the bridge to an eagerly awaiting Dan, and were married in a lovely little ceremony. We then had a very quick turn around time to get up to the beach and back to the restaurant. Once we fought the traffic on Hastings St, we had about 20 minutes to get photos before we had to leave, or risk their dinner getting cold. With what I had them do, in the space of time that we had - Dan, Tamaryn, and the entire bridal party were extremely receptive, considering I was cracking that whip like it was no ones business! But with a group effort, we got the job done, and everyone was happy.

Dan & Tamaryn - you guys are amazing. Tam, you’ve without a doubt scored yourself a place on my official website xxx

Time for a little (ok, not so little) slideshow….

Tamaryn & I having a face-off to see who could strike the best pose….

You can tell I must have been super exhausted, because I totally forgot to do “the thing” in my couple mugshot…
