Mark & Cherie Mae

A friend of mine messaged me and told me that one of her friends is getting married in a couple of weeks time and in need of a photographer. The wedding ceremony was to be held at the Melbourne Marriage Registry's Office at 4.30pm on a Friday, and the couple just wanted to have some photos during the simple ceremony with family and then some photos around the area. It was short notice, but I jumped at the opportunity without even blinking! :)


Prior to the wedding, I have never met Mark or Cherie Mae. When they arrived at the ceremony, I shook Mark's hands and congratulated him... He said with a big smile, "Sorry I'm not Mark. I'm his dad!" hehe Ooopss.. I turned around and saw the 'real' Mark. He was very young and very tall! Cherie Mae was behind him... looking very beautiful and elegant. They truly make a very lovely couple!

The ceremony began as soon as everybody arrived and was over in literally 10 minutes... It was short...... but really sweet!!! :)

The Registry's Office is right next to the beautiful Fitzroy Gardens which was perfect! The weather was a different story though. A thunderstorm was about to hit... and to cut a long story short, heavy rain fell from the sky as soon as I took the last shot! What an awesome afternoon! :)

To Mark and Cherie Mae... CONGRATULATIONS!  Thank you for giving me the opportunity to capture one of the best moments of your life together. I wish you all the best!

Pieter and Trish

One of my previous post was about my friend Dee. After I did her photoshoot with Mak... she pretty much told all her friends about me! That if they needed a photographer... they can come and talk to me... :)

Aaahh... the power of word of mouth! :)

That's how I got to know Trish (Trisha). Trish is getting married to Pieter in a few weeks time. I felt really honoured to have been asked by Trish and Pieter to do a 'pre-wedding' shoot because I know that they've already booked a wedding photographer a while ago...

Pieter and Trish... such a lovely couple! Easy-going and very relaxed... :) I turned up at their front door at 6:30am and they we're ready to go! hehe Well... it was going to be a 40-degree (celcius) day after all... so we wanted to beat the heat! Plus, our photoshoot was at the beach... so we wanted to get in there before everybody goes for a swim!

All I can say is... Beautiful Couple + Beautiful Morning = Beautiful Shots!  :)


Pieter... Trish... thank you for the opportunity and CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!
