For most people, their wedding day is one of the most important days in their lives. Understandably then, the photography plays a huge part in that. It’s important then to choose where you take the photos.
As I’ve mentioned in a previous post, I generally scope out the location before the day. For the last wedding I photographed, here is one of the locations, and a great stroke of luck for the day itself…
It’s been a busy week. I’m preparing to photograph another wedding, which will make two in a month - a first for me. This one is in Mackay (North Queensland, Australia), so it kind of throws off my usual preparation routine….
Photographing at night can be tricky. A tripod is a necessity. What about everything you’ve heard about dusk and dawn, and how they are the best times of day to photograph? Well, for stunning skies and natural colours, yes they are the best.

Here are some ‘interesting’ casual family shots where I’m trying to get my dog facing the camera…
