Sunday Post: Wonderful

Jo Bryant,

The most wonderful thing to me is LOVE.

The love of a parent for a child, the love we share with our fur babies, our friends, and for what we do in our lives. On Saturday I attended a friend’s son’s wedding. I have known him for what seems like forever. Watched him grow, and mature in to a wonderful person.

While I was at what was one of the most wonderful weddings I have ever attended…I decided to try my hand at some wedding photography. It really was wonderful to see their LOVE.

Here are a few snaps from the wonderful Saturday I had !!!



And of course…the moment where she says: “You may now kiss your bride.”

I wish them a wonderful and joyous life together.

p.s.

I am thrilled…I posted these on facebook last night and both the bride and groom have used a couple as profile pics. Yea !!! I am happy. Now it back to NaNoWriMo for me !!!

Want a big dose of wonderful…then visit Jake’s flying dragon.

I was born in the land of Banjo Paterson, gum trees, and weather extremes. I am a freelance photographer. I love to make images that make people happy. To capture forever a precious moment. I am also a freelance writer/editor. I live in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand, but still like to claim my Australian heritage. I graduated with a Bachelor of Communications in 2008. I am writing my first novel. I love to write poetry, short stories, and also write for the web. And there is nothing that is on a par with a sunny summer's day spent at Waihi Beach.

    1. Awww…thanks Gilly. It was so hard. I had to stay in my seat [luckily in the front row] and watch the pro go about her business. I wanted so bad to jump up and direct. But the B & G are happy with them so I am happy. I looked at the pro’s shots [you know how they show them these days on a computer while everyone is tipsy – she was actually a great lady and so were her photos], and I was so jealous she got to take them to great locations and snap away.

    1. Thank you so much Angelia. I love that the hands photos are so popular…they are my favourites as well. I am so happy with how some of the shots turned out for my first go at wedding pictures. For my present to them i am having one blown up and framed. I was talking to the groom and he said it would take them time to decide which one because they love so many of them. He has no idea how happy that statement made me.

    1. Thank you Poppy [that’s who you’ve became to me – when I see your commments I see a poppy flower in my mind]…I really love the one of the bride laughing. They both did a lot of that on the day and I really loved that there was a shot that showed the happiness that emanated from them.

    1. Awwwwwww…thanks !!!! I had so much fun taking them Madhu. I have never done wedding shots before so I was wary of how they would turn out. It was a blast though. The couple are just so happy and so in love. It was also such a gorgeous spot [right on Auckland’s waterfront] where they were married and their reception was at a yacht club on the beach. Perfect…just perfect for this beach loving girl.

      1. I’ve read your writing, and it’s no dud. You’re just going to have to learn to live with being a brilliant writer, photographer and parent, all at the same time. 🙂

          1. Parents? Because I’ve read all your posts about your kids, and since I was already talking about your writing and photographic brilliance, I thought I’d include what I thought was your brilliant parenting. I just combined your writing, including your recent story posting, all your photography that I love, including this post, and your previous post and comments on your kids. It worked for me, does it work for you? 🙂
