I really believe photography and chardonnay are my two best friends at this age!
As Jake and Liam approach three years of age (which for the amateurs out there is far worse than the 'terrible twos'), it has been a week of my pleading, threatening, bribing, cajoling, pushing boundaries (all of them) and eventually fuming and shouting at the two little midgets. . . testing terrorists-in-waiting.
Now, as the day winds down and the chardonnay kicks in, flicking through my images from this week, it doesn't look so bad after all....


I love old things.
Things made with love and an abudndance of history.
Knowing this, you will come to realise how much I loved Natasha's & Ryan's vintage wedding.
The dress, the flowers, ooooh the flowers, each table with its unique arrangement, the lovely traditional details, or just about everything of a bygone era!
It was gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous with no detail left unspared or missing.
Their wedding day was filled with all it should be: joy, laughter, tears, hugs and gorgeous little flower girls.
Yes, I could go on and on about all the finer points, I really could, but, I will save you from my non-stop ramblings and simply present you with the visuals.
Enjoy the Maldives!


How 'uber' cool is that seating plan!


Natasha's wedding handbag belonged to her granma.

(10.17.09 @ 11:59 AM)The two older flowergirls, were repeating a "naughty word" (stupid idiot) and would burst out giggling each time it was pronounced. I love these moments.

Well done Andrea.
These comments are to be expected as you are in my opinion rated in the top 10 photographers in the country and we can expect to many more compliments such as these as I myself am always inspired by your work. God bless




Your children are a scream! and lucky you that you can capture these funny moments!
