The first 8 or 9 weeks of each new year are usually pretty quiet for a wedding photographer in the Tropics! For obvious reasons, mainly the hot sticky weather and risk of cyclone, not a lot of people get married at this time of the year.
I like to use this down time to first: have a rest! (I also painted my house! OMG! What was I thinking there?) second, I have been catching up on the last couple of albums from the end of last year and third to learn more about my craft! I feel that you can never know or learn enough about the thing you are passionate about!
I also wanted to, for the first time, do a compilation of my favorite images from 2009 to share on my BLOG.
I had a great time going through the images from every wedding that I photographed last year. Each wedding and image has it’s own unique story to go with it. I remembered what a great time I had on each special day. The Trash the Dress images reminded me of the fun we had “drowning the gown” and how cold the water was for Paula and Jason’s TTD! It took all of mine and Paula’s encouragement and enthusiasm to keep Jason in the water!
I remembered the helicopter flights, the boat rides, the golf buggies, the four wheel drive tracks to get to inaccessible places, the ladders and roofs I stood on to get that perfect group photo and I also remembered the wonderful feeling I get every time I deliver an album to a happy bride and groom!
It was hard! I wanted to put everyone in there! I started out with 190 images I ended up with around 120.
I love being a wedding photographer and I love sharing and being part of each couples special day.
Thank you to all my wonderful brides, grooms, babies, Mums and Dad’s and other fabulous clients!
It was a great year!
Here is a 9 minute video of my favorites from 2009!
