They say that behind every successful man, there’s a strong woman. If this is true, then Josh Scully is headed for the mountain tops. At long last, here are some of the photos from their wedding.

During the meal at Josh & Jody’s wedding last Saturday (more from their wedding later), I noticed a couple of girls who were obviously sweet on two of the groomsmen. Everyone else was busy eating, so with nothing to miss here, we stepped outside for a few minutes of fun.
So, here’s Sarah & Wousung, and Laura & Gussy!
SLIDE SHOW
Haylie Connaughton & Jamie Howarth were married on Nov 21st at Banjo Patterson Park near Orange, and had a very relaxed reception in a marquee on Jamie’s parent’s property at Clifton Grove.
Recently we’ve had a string of enquiries about whether we capture candid photographs of wedding guests, or just a mixture of candid and fashion style photos of the bridal party. (Looking back through this blog I can see why- we mainly post images of each bride & groom, leaving an unrealistic impression of our photography.)
To prove a point – the following are ONLY photos of Haylie & Jamie’s guests. To see images of this great couple, and rest of the day, contact Haylie!
Gemmah Shuttleworth & Sia Soliola were married at the Orange Uniting Parish Centre on Oct 17th.
They are now off honeymooning in the UK and France, where Sia is apparently slipping out between romantic dinners and backrubs, to play for New Zealand in the 2009 Four Nations Rugby League series… (Some guys will do ANYTHING to get out of shopping!)
Following are some of Gemmah’s thoughts, on their cross-cultural and beautiful wedding-

Sisters, Justine & Stephanie wanted some photos together as a present for their mum’s birthday. Seeing they were keen for the fun of a longer, multiple location shoot, we started in a dark alley and moved on to wherever inspiration took us.
There was dancing in the streets when this wedding was announced! Andrew Moor & Diana Sievwright were married at St Mark’s Uniting on June 6th, and got back from their honeymoon yesterday. Graham’s children were sad at their return, as they’d been minding Diana’s & Noah’s dog “Cadbury” and didn’t want to give him back. (Dog minding service not normally available.)

Another shoot by Rodney, this time of the very talented and beatuiful Amanda Cox. Thanks Amanda for braving a 10dC afternoon, and waiting patiently while several technical hurdles were solved (ie Oh no, I’ve just lost a $400 wireless trigger!)
Meghann & Giles had a simple but elegant ceremony at St Mark’s Anglican in Millthorpe, followed by a reception at Turner’s Vineyard. Both are lawyers, who travelled back from a season of offering a legal aid service on the tiny Pacific island of Kiribati. (It’s north of Tu Valu, just in case that helps!)
A big part of our brief was to candidly document the guests, something we enjoy doing anyway…
The following images were shot during a one on one workshop, tutoring local photographer Rodney Shrimpton. The model is his talented step-daughter Gabrielle, who had seemingly just stepped off a runway in Paris.
Anna Murphy & Phillip Humpherys had an all-in-one ceremony & reception at Turners Vineyard Orange. An outdoor ceremony can be a photographer’s nightmare, especially on a sunny day without shade anywhere useful. (The sun is, well, harsh.) Technical difficulties aside, the affection between these two was more than evident, and a total joy to document.
After the ceremony we nipped off to a nearby farm for a bit of country style shooting fun, before heading back for their reception.
Nicole Stojanovic & Andrew Caro’s wedding was a day of epic moments. True, all weddings are- for those with the eyes to see them, but a couple of this day’s were a little more obvious than usual.
For instance- Andrew took to heart the idea of giving his new wife a wedding present, and despite everyone else in the bridal party being in on his plans, the secret was kept till the very last moment!

Chloe told me (Graham) the day before her wedding: “I’ve never had a single professional photo taken in my life, it’s just not something my family did. It’s all a bit scary. You see, we just don’t look good in photos.” She finished with “if we end up with just one nice image, I’ll be really happy.”
These guys were yet another of those “ooh, we both just hate having our photo taken” couples. I love people like this!

This is a wedding I’ve been looking forward to for years. Not that it’s been a known event for years, but it had to only be a matter of time, before one of the most eligible young ladies in Orange, finally fell in love with one of the many troubadours lining up to leave flowers at her door.
It was also a wedding that was nearly relocated to Sydney after Maree Caltabiano & Mark Coleman’s reception venue informed them only two weeks out, that they were cancelling the booking for their reception with 200 guests. “Here’s a refund for the deposit you paid us six months ago, good bye.”

After receiving their wedding photos , Kim and Michael Cunial informed me that I’d now become their family photographer. Sounds good to me! It’s very rewarding being a part of people’s lives over time.
Two years on, having now discharged his primary responsibilities as an Italian boy- that of getting married (to a beautiful girl at that), and producing a grandchild, it was time for Michael to send all those previously nagging rels some photos, and put a little family history up on the wall.
The couple who know the big guy upstairs!
I’m not called on to shoot very many August weddings, so having two back to back, was a real treat. This one was a shorter coverage, but the kicker for me was the weather. It had snowed a little the day before (Alison & Hamish’s wedding) and again that morning. Worse, the storm clouds were brewing…
