Sara and Greg a nice couple from the UK.

Did their “wedding” shoot, well actually it was a renewal of the vowels, but just as romantic!
They have 3 cute kids all boys, so much joy and laughter that day.

We went to the same red dune as this is a really nice spot for photographs. We were running out of light and only had 30 minutes to do the shoot. The clouds blocked the sun and any nice colours, then at the right moment we had a bit of sunlight popping through the clouds. Just enough to make that nice shot, a great contrast between the dark grey sky and the nice golden skin tones.

The night finished off for us – the couple and me and Emma (my new part time assistant) with sparkles and love…….

The editor of the Australian Traveler Magazine called me if they could have some wedding photos.
They are going to feature my central Australian Ayers Rock resort photos in their honeymoon section with Ayers Rock resort as a honeymoon destination. (No rock in the photos as this is not permitted by the local indigenous people)

YEHAA!

The lovely couple Erica and Johnson from Hong Kong got married at Ayers Rock Voyages resort, 3 April 2010. The wedding was at sunrise (6.45 AM) It was very early morning for us all at 5.30 AM we started doing the getting ready shoot.

The bride looked great!, a nice ceremony with her father and a tea drink session. Great family and a stunning sunrise. What more can I say than that I loved this shoot!

Having worked with Voyages Resorts Kings Canyon, Alice Springs, Longitude 131 and Ayers Rock,  for about 2 years of  my3.5 years photographic carreer here in Australia (note I have only lived in Australia for 3.5 years :) )
I am now finally mentioned on their website as one of the official wedding photographers for Longitude 131 resort weddings and Ayers Rock Voyages resort weddings.
The other mob is April of Moving Pictures. I have worked with April and can honestly say she is a very high competition for me.

I will also (eventually when I have some more time) provide images to them for website use on the Voyages web. 
We are not allowed to use imagery that displays Uluru with weddings to sell a product as we all know Uluru is a sacret Aboriginal site.
The images on their website now are from a Japanese company that shot their images under the old regulations years and years ago. These images have been approved years ago.

I regularly fly to Ayers Rock to shoot weddings. I must admit
photographing weddings for me is best kind of photography there is.
Especially if I get to fly to an unique and special spot like the very heart of Australia, Uluru Kata Tjuta National Park.
Staying in a 5 star resort hotel and shoot at the best spot in the world.
I DO SO LOVE MY JOB!
The rock keeps amazing me.
