Carlie & Daz were married before 20 of their closest family members at Morrisons in Moama. The ceremony took place on the deck and we then drove into the port where Carlie had hand selected her favorite locations – The Old Coffee Palace and the Vintage Cocoa Sign in the port along with the standard port backdrops. Its great to shoot against different textures and I particularly loved the white, ageing walls of the old coffee palace on High St.  The cocoa sign is a backdrop I used 15 years ago for a high school art project in which I got my friend Emily to pose as Holden Caulfield (Catcher In The Rye’s) “rollerskate skinny” little sister. It was pre-digital black and white film photography. I’d love to find the shots so I could share it with you. Carlie and Darryl are a great example of how a relaxed approach to portrait posing is so effective. This couple and their beautiful daughter enjoy a true love story and it was lovely to be part of for a day. Many thanks to Leanne Buchanan for her work as second photographer. “Negative space, man, negative space!’ We have back to back weddings from next Saturday right through to December, so its going to be a very busy time. We hope to share with you some highlights of the upcoming wedding season as it unfurls so stay tuned! In the meantime, we hope to see you at Perricoota Vines Retreat‘s open day on the 9th of October.
