Natalina & Leon: Wedding Photography

I spent all last week closely watching the weather forecast for Saturday.  First it was going to be 32 degrees then it went up to 40 degrees and finally on Friday it was downgraded to 36 degrees.  Phew!  Ok still really hot but not a ‘oh no, my photographer looks like a tomato and has just melted’ temperature.  I was all prepared for Saturday with 6 bottles of frozen water, staminade and the powder in the car to make more up if necessary, 3 packets of lollies (the Natural ones cause they are healthy for you right?), muesli bars and of course all my camera gear charged and packed.

But Mother Nature was smiling upon Nat & Leon for their day as although hot, by the time we hit the beach at 4pm for the location photos, massive drops of rain plonked down and everything cooled off making for a much more pleasant afternoon!   There was even a lightning show over the water.  I did manage ONE shot with the lightning - I was so amazed!  I am never that lucky!!!

Nat and Leon met after Leon moved here 4 years ago from South Africa and have been inseparable ever since.  They met of RSVP and although Nat first thought Leon’s byline of “you finally found me” was a little cheesy, it obviously worked!  The wedding brought guests together from all over the globe, South Africa, Italy and Sydney and the reception held at AQWA in Hillarys Boat Harbour showcased what I think is one of Perth’s best features, the amazing sunset over the ocean.

Big thanks to Charlene from November Images for her amazing second shooter skills, camera covering skills when I decide to do a lens change in the middle of the windy beach (not my smartest move) and her assistance with the downloading and editing which we did to show a small slideshow on the laptop of 30 images of the day for the couple and guests after the speeches.  Also worked with Lui from Global Video and I am sure he is going to have more video footage of the awesome sky show at the beach!

The beautiful dress which Nat bought off the rack and it fit perfectly, meant to be.

This is the lightning shot!

I haven’t done a jumping shot before but these guys suggested it and after a few tries we managed to get a shot with all of them in the air!

I think it looks pretty cool actually!!!!

We went Joondalup ECU campus to make use of the Chancery building for a couple of shots.  This is the first time I have shot some images here and cannot wait to shoot there again,  I loves these shots.

Dancing up a storm!

Nat & Leon: a big thanks for choosing me to share your special day and for making it such a fun day!

I hope you enjoy these photos and the rest will be ready to view within a month.
