Some of my favourite wedding images

I am going to post a few favourite wedding images from over the year with a little explanation of why the photo stands out for me.

I love it when other photographers explain their favourite images.

As always, let me know what you think. I love comments :)

October 2007 | I love the back lighting and the interaction between the couple. This bride and groom were so into each other, they were super easy to photograph.

April 2006 | The groom's speech. Swoon.

September 2005 | This images was captured with very little guidance from me. I just asked the couple to walk towards me. The rest was them just being themselves. This location is the driveway beside Leonda Reception Centre in Byford. When I had it a sample album *everyone* used to ask me where this pretty lane was :-)

February 2008 | I love this simple photograph against the backdrop of one of the most beautiful coastlines in Western Australia. This is in Yallingup.

March 2009 | During the bride's prep. I love the quiet anticipating of this images. I think nerves start setting in a little once the photographer arrives. It makes it all real and everything starts to happen at once.

October 2006 | This images still makes me smile. When we're on location people sometimes stop to congratulate the bride and groom. I don't think this bloke knew we were even shooting, he thought they were just standing there and offered his congrats as he passed with his groceries.

January 2007 | One of my favourite cakes ever.

April 2007 | Love this image of a very beautiful bride before her ceremony

April 2009 | I really love this image. The bride and groom delayed their ceremony for their sick grandfather. It was really important that he be there to witness their vows. A few weeks later he passed away and they thanked me for taking this photo. It's a big reason why I love my job so much, moments like these.

February 2006 | I always try to photograph the bridal party in a relaxed way. I don't want the images too awkward or remeniscent of boring school portraits. This is just a happy shot of the girls I have always liked.

November 2007 | I didn't have to try very hard to create beautiful images on stunning Castle Rock beach in Dunsborough.

April 2005 | I remember when I took this photo I was excited about my development of a very natural style. It's not the most natural photo in the world, but I remember being excited about the direction i was heading in.

April 2007 | You don't often see the father of the bride helping the bride into her dress. I thought this was a very cute and natural moment.

April 2008 | Such a beautiful wedding. It rained all day, from bride's preparations until the reception. Didn't stop, just bucketed down. Captured truly unique and beautiful images that day.

December 2008 | This groom later reported he was feeling *very* nervous at the beginning of the ceremony. I love this knowing look he is giving his bride :)

May 2008 | A beautiful moment between the bride and her Gran. I asked them to look at each other and they just leant their heads together and I got this moment. Love it.

March 2008 | This groom had all this mates from the UK together as his bridal party. I asked them to line up together and they decided to do something a little different.

May 2008 | A different sort of bridal party shot that I absoloutely love. Not sure what they were laughing about but it looks cool :)

September 2008 | The sun goes down at Coral Bay. The bride wanted to walk out onto the rocks.

December 2007 | A quiet moment before getting out of the car to walk down the ailse

May 2007 | I have always loved this bridal portrait taken before the ceremony at the bride's house. We were in a little room with pretty light coming in from a window.

January 2009 | I love the time after the ceremony when the guests greet the couple. This is the time to ignore me completely so I can capture real moments. This is a friend hugging the groom. I love the emotion.
