Wedding - Maree and Nathan

Before I got into this wedding photography game, I'd never heard the term 'wedding season'. Sure, I knew of footy season and other sport related seasons, and even theatre seasons. But never had I heard of wedding season.



Wedding season is apparently referring to the months of the year that are popular for weddings (warmer months). I'm starting to see the parallels between wedding season, and footy season. You need to put in pre-season training, you need stamina, you need to take it one week at a time. I'm only four weddings into the season which kicked off in August. The season runs right through to May, so it really is only early days. I'm making sure I'm keeping my fluids up, eating lots of hearty pasta for energy, and doing daily trigger finger exercises.



Maree and Nathan's wedding was number two of the season. I travelled up to Shepparton for the occasion, and it was nice to be back there. The blossoms were out in all the fruit orchards, and it really is a dream to see (and frolic in).

It rained and rained and rained on their wedding day. Being farmers they felt bad cursing the rain, but no one wants rain on their wedding day. But Maree shone beautifully despite the weather.



But after a change of venue, it all worked out beautifully.



The swirly weather actually made for wonderful skies.



One of those in between moments that make me laugh.



Sunset on the top of Mount Major = the perfect way to end a wedding.





I'm off to do some wedding season training (read: have a cuppa, put my feet up, read my book)
