Wedding vows are something that most couples I’ve photographed spend quite some time thinking about in the lead up to their wedding. But, as one who has been married past the 10 year mark now, I have to say that my wife & I don’t often think about the words we spoke that day anymore. Marriage however is not about remembering those words, but about living them in each day. “To have & to hold, from this day forward…”
Freda & Artemio Schiavo reminded me of this when they asked me to photograph their 50th wedding anniversary in December. 50 years and still in love!
Freda & Artemio celebrated with their friends & family at the Stamford Plaza Brisbane. Congratulations and thank you for inviting me to part of this truly magical celebration.
These two images where captured straight after each other, expressing the moment for each of them.
One surprise on the night was the arrival of the Best Man and Matron of Honor from the wedding day.
The defining moment of the night. It will also be a moment that I will also personally always remember.
Freda & Artemio where presented with a special gift at the end of the night, a framed family portrait. It is the words that Artemio said out loud when he held the frame up to view the image for the first time, “This is what life is all about…. my whole life is here between my hands”
It’s a moment that has been etched into my memory.

For the photographers: The complete coverage was captured with only available light, no flash or other light sources where used to capture any of these images. This ensured that the family and guests could emmerse themselves in the moment and never felt like they where ever being photographed.
The result: moments that reflect the incredible relationships and love that this great family had for each other and for all of their friends.

December 22nd and Kate & Neil tie the knot in a romantic ceremony on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria. The ceremony took place in the beautiful sea side town of Sorrento, a few hours drive from Melbourne. The town was abuzz with people taking advantage of the summer school holidays. The reception was 15 minutes up the road at the world-class golf resort of The Peppers Moonah Links & The Golf Course.
Kate, a landscape architect, chose the location for their wedding for the exquisite beauty of the area and also for the rugged Australian landscape. One of the most important aspects in planning their wedding was the photography. They wanted to not only have the emotion of the day captured but equally important was capturing the locations. For me it was a dream job as everyone knows I love shooting landscapes and I love shooting weddings, so I got to photograph my two favourite things! I really do have a wonderful job. It was also worth the 3.30am start to get to Sorrento from Brisbane. I would do it again in a heartbeat.
Thank you Kate & Neil for letting me be a special part of your day, and for giving me the opportunity to capture the beauty of your wedding in this stunning location. Hope you like your “weddingscapes”.
After a year of travelling to 10 different countries and visiting nearly every state and territory in Australia, this perfect wedding wrapped up the wonderful and amazing year that was 2008.
