In a single day their skills and quick problem-solving abilities are put to the test. They switch between being a family, fashion, event, still life, product and portrait photographer in a matter of minutes. “Our priorities are always in this order and are non-negotiable. Light first, backgrounds second, subjects third. We find great light first, look for clean, interesting, beautiful or non-distracting backgrounds and then set our subjects up to play some games. We would never shoot a couple in front of an amazing view if it meant there would be shadows on their face or cars in the background.”
Being able to bear witness to so many of these joyful unions, one day has stuck with them throughout their time as wedding photographers. “It was a couple of years ago in the middle of summer. There had been a long heatwave and bushfires had been burning for many days in the area. Everyone was hoping for a cool change and for some relief. As the couple were saying their vows it started to rain, but instead of everyone running for cover, a wash of relief came over the crowd. Everyone was so happy to see the rain and felt thankful for it.”
