georgina & simon – preview

I have photographed a couple of weddings in Hobart now. As far as I can tell, it is always cold, overcast, a touch drizzly…

And jam packed with beauty and passion. This is a preview.

fiona & dan

I posted a preview of this day a few weeks ago. I tried to express how I felt after shooting Fiona and Dan’s wedding day. How we wanted one thing, but kinda got another.

Because it didn’t just rain.

It stormed. Like there was no tomorrow.

Like another Ark was gonna be needed.

And our plans and ideas went out the window.

But as I drove home from this wedding day, I felt… enormously satisfied. Like somehow, the weather was just a part of their day. A part that may have messed up our plans of glorious, sun-drenched silhouettes, but a part that just brought everyone and everything together.

And yes, there was rain. But there was also beer, and pizza. There was so much laughter. There were… pretty big height differences. There were children, happy, sad, and everything in between. There was dancing, and heartfelt speeches. Sparklers came out. The music drowned out the rain on the tin roof.

Like it was just a part of the story. Fiona and Dan’s wedding day.
