Sarah did not get too much sleep the night before her wedding, but she was pumped and ready to go when I arrived at her Brisbane CBD apartment the begin her wedding photography.
While the girls were getting ready, word came through that the boys were just getting back to their apartment from lunch… and were no where near getting ready. The boys always have it so much easier on a wedding day… but it does stress the bride out a bit.
Good lighting is what wedding photographers are always chasing when shooting a wedding. It was overcast in Brisbane today and Sarah’s rooms all had big amounts of glass that let in beautiful light. You can see this in her photographs. Once ready we went down to the street for a bit of a shoot… the clouds were getting darker
With the brides Dad having arrived and everyone happy, I departed for Boulevard Gardens at Indooroopilly, Brisbane to meet the boys, who had actually gotten ready on time as planned and were present! The mood is always a bit more relaxed with the groom and the Groomsmen compared to the girls, and this was the case today also, right up to when it started raining bucket loads… that never really stopped for the rest of the day. It did pause briefly for Sarah to get out of the car.
The wedding photography was awesome for the remainder of the day due to the couples outstanding attitude with not letting it ruin their day. We played in the water and had heaps of fun, and it shows in her photography. To achieve great shots, the main trick is to just ensure everyone is having fun, let them have a relax and a drink between shots, have some music playing and remember to photograph detail and moments that are going on all about the wedding all day long
