Geoffrey & Danielle – Wedding Day – Illawarra Wedding Photographer

Posted by Ela on Jul 19th, 2010 | no comments

Geoffrey & Danielle’s Wedding was nothing short of unforgettable. The location portraits were full of random laughter from the bridal party, Dani’s urge to pull faces in photos, and on my part.. fading-light phoebia (I don’t think there’s a formal name for that). But nowadays, daylight savings sets out to make my job just a tad bit harder by the sun setting no later than 5:30 if we’re lucky LOL. So off we went to Wollongong Little Lighthouse, then to Port Kembla’s outer harbour to take advantage of the rustic scenery (again hehe) but keeping the sun in mind.

The reception featured a gorgeous slideshow of their past memories together, and growing up as kids. The tables had amazing centrepieces with floating candles and orchid stems. The bridesmaids hot pink dresses made me smile :) I’m a bit of a pink junky myself you see..

Dani’s father married the two of them, making the ceremony more special. Right on the water’s edge of beautiful Lake Illawarra, the afternoon sunlight shining in and the candid laughs the two of them shared during the ceremony. They couldn’t keep their eyes off one another and I had an absolute blast having the opportunity to photograph their wedding day.

Here’s to a long and happy future.. thanks for having me! Here’s a little sneak preview to hold you off until your edited images arrive.

There was an intersting yellow seat that looked about 30 years old. Loved the texture of it, couldn’t help myself :)

Shot at the lighthouse. Thought I would make it more interesting as a vertical panorama.

Loving the rim light on this shot below.

An off to Port Kembla we went. Got out my 50mm lens, probably the next series are my favourite shots of the day. Love the depth and candid nature of them.

This one makes me smile :)

..and the blooper shot, where everyone’s personality shines through!

Dani insisted on this shot, that’s just the fun & quirky couple they are ;)

The ‘MySpace’ shot – it brings me back to high school when we would sit in the quad snapping away during recess to pass time and record our memories as high school buddies. Geoffrey mentioned Danielle was a bit of a ‘MySpace’ digital camera junkie, hence why this shot was so necessary.
