More of the beautiful Shelley

Well I am finally starting to catch up on some proofing after the busy days of shooting lately. Here are some more of Shelley and Dan...

The girls got ready at the Duxton in the city, I can't recommend this hotel highly enough, they had the suite room booked and the light and all decor were just amazing, so if you are looking for somewhere to get ready for your wedding day - check them out

Some excitement after seeing the flowers arrive in the concierge...

What a stunning girl - I could look at your pics all day

I'm not nervous....really....I'm not.....ok just a little maybe

Finally Mr and Mrs Barnes

Shelley's older sister 

and her eldest sister

Shelley and Dan, I'll contact you in a few days with your gallery......Mel and Ryan, yours is next - I hope that you are having a great Honeymoon, Candice and Jon, thanks for your patience I'll post a sneak peak as soon as I can

5 years on

silverware or wood???

that's the modern and traditional presents for 5 years of marriage. It was our wedding anniversary yesterday so many things have changed in that five years but so many things are still the same. We still live in the same house with most of the same furniture, we still have almost the same haircuts...lol our family has changed, we now have two beautiful daughters, our waistlines have changed - we are much bigger....lol our goals in life have changed and our love has changed, it is stronger than then. I am a believer in that Marriage does not change anything, it's time that does. Anyway here are some pics from our wedding day - taken back in the day of film.

Old Swan Brewery - our reception was in those glass windows behind us

One of my favourite pics from the day - I actually had 5 Bridesmaids my four sisters and Terry's sister - I am glad that I got this one of just my sisters

My Sari

Coincidently (well so they say...lol) we had my cousins wedding on Saturday, his sisters wedding was also on the Australia Day long weekend. Congratulations Mark and Corrine.

We've spent the weekend with all of my family (all 15 of us) which was fantastic, the kids had a great time running around and playing. Thank goodness today is a public holiday so we can all recover and catch up on some sleep.

Ryan and Mel = fun

What a busy busy last week, I had a wedding on Friday followed by a meeting with a future Bride and Groom first thing Sat morning then a wedding rehearsal with another Bride and Groom and then a Wedding yesterday.

Feeling a little under the weather today as yesterday's wedding was one of my best friends so only popping in quickly to post a pic from the wedding on Friday. Congratulations Ryan and Mel, you all looked stunning even in the 42 degree heat.

 

Surprise

just a quick post - I am on my way out the door, we are surprising one of my best friends with a nice dinner for her Hen's night - she has been anti any sort of traditional Hen's do, but I am sure that she will love this....

and what's a post without a pic - just some more fav's of Shelley getting ready

and because she's beautiful

another then and now - Shelley you are probably going to kill me for this but at least I am also in the photo........

Here's a pic of Shelley and I in 1985

to this - how beautiful is she?

I am slowly chipping away at proofing whilst entertaining two kids, but the good news is that Ajda slept through the night last night from 7:30pm to 7am this morning and I feel like a new woman :o))) lets hope she makes a habit out of it.

The Green's

Well it has been fun reminiscing my childhood while proofing this wedding. Things that I remember about our times with the Green's:

* Shelley and I were inseparable when together.

* I once remember Shelley and I stealing some change from Rosemary's purse and then sneaking down to the corner store to buy lollies, which was a real treat for me as we lived on a farm, hours away from any sort of corner store. Rosemary caught us and we got into so much trouble.

* I was always scared of Laurie because he used to have a cooked breakfast every morning, I thought that if you ate sausages for breakfast then you must be really tough and mean.....lol

* I remember Rosemary always taken us to swimming lessons in the summer and Shelley to lessons sun rain or shine all year round.

* I always thought that Tess and Russell were going to get married

* I remember Dad and Laurie sitting on their front porch cracking nuts and eating them

We used to have so much fun!

Anyway here is a pic from then at our farm. All ten of us kids in 1984.

Shelley is there in the front with the little blue dress on and the babies there are Tess and Russell

and this is them now...

Dan + Shelley = Love

Yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing a childhood friend of mine. She is also from a family of five and as kids we used to go and stay at their house and then they would come and stay at ours for weeks at a time, not quite sure how the parents coped with 10 kids in one house. All I remember was that it was FUN FUN FUN, Shelley and I are both fourth born and so we always teamed up even though there is two years between us. So when they approached me I was beyond excitement at being able to be a part of their special day. 

I have more, many more photo's to share but just wanted to get this two up. Congratulations to you both. You are a beautiful couple and we wish you all the best in your journey together.
