Wedding - Tamsin and Blake [Melbourne, VIC]

Tamsin and I met 12 months ago. As she got ready for her wedding, we laughed about how we met. It involved toilet paper stuck to a shoe and a potentially embarrassing crisis swiftly averted. The moment bonded us for life.

Tamsin had diamonds on the soles of her feet. Kind of.

I met Blake that same day 12 months ago too. He was groomsman in his best friend's wedding. This time the roles were reversed, and it was Blake's turn to be centre stage. Blake and Tamsin were married in the chapel at Blake's old school, Haleybury. I love that they chose somewhere that held meaning for them. Blake commented that it was a little strange to be back there, in a suit with tails.

The clock started to tick past Tamsin's scheduled arrival time. Her mother checked her watch. Was Tamsin coming? 'They must be on their way,' she said as she looked from her watch to the school's gates to see if Tamsin's car could be seen. Indeed, they were on their way, after a small hitch with the (gorgeous) vintage cars. Nothing like a car break down on a major highway to keep the emotions running high.

Huzzah! She made it, in ravishing fashion.

Why hello there the ever fabulous Courtney and Dana! I photographed their wedding almost 12 months ago to the day and seeing them again was one of the highlights of my day. These two still know how to make me laugh.

This photograph is the reason I do my job. The reason I love my job. Look at their faces, at their bright eyes and wide smiles. They've both run the gamut of emotions already in the day, from gut wrenching nerves to logistical stresses. And now they arrive at their reception and they've made it. They're here, and they're married. All the weeks of preparation and planning are over. They can finally celebrate, in earnest, their marriage. All of that, is in this photograph.

Tamsin and Blake are currently taking my dream tour of the U.S - taking in both New York and Washington (hello all those art galleries, museums and political places of interest!). They've told me it's cold, but amazing. Enjoy you guys, you deserve all the amazingness the world has to offer.
