Seonha and Dane's wedding

The team recently shot Seonha and Dane's wedding held at St Joseph's followed by a reception at the Waterfront.

The ceremony was relaxed and joyous. I have to say that I've never heard a priest say 'ready Mr. Music', and that would have to be the funniest thing I've heard during a ceremony in a long time.

Gus led this wedding and Carla provided second shooter coverage for the day. After the ceremony we took the entourage to King St Wharf - a little surprise Seonha had for Dane because Bungalow 8 was where the newly-married couple met for the first time. So earlier in the week I'd made special arrangements with Bungalow 8 to allow the entourage to be shot in the bar area. It's not uncommon for the team and the bridal party to be dashing around the city on a weekend afternoon but on this shoot we stayed put and the group made the most of the lounges at Bungalow as well as the bar which was always within reach from where we were seated.

If only every location shoot involved a big couch and a bottle of bubbly ..

A Candid moment between Seonha and Dane..

Soft ambient light at the bar provided us with plenty of opportunities to take some intimate photos.

While walking around King St we came across some air vents that were situated on the corner of one of the streets. While it seemed a little unusual for us to be shooting at the foot of a building and in front of its vents, the team had a vision of how the photographs would turn out and succeeded in translating that vision into some very different portraits .. see below for the setup and the outcome.

And the result - one of Dane's first photos as a newly-married man

Congratulations again to Seonha and Dane for organising a lovely wedding, and for being good sports when a lot of our ideas may not have made much sense at first! Hopefully the photos provide a good explanation of what we were aiming for.
