When this month is over I will be able to breathe again. Promise. I have a lot to blog. A lot.

FENIX

I’m in Melbourne and in many ways I wonder why I ever left. It’s the city I first moved to in Australia; the place where I stopped believing in love and the place where I found it again. I’ve had some of my highest highs and my lowest lows here. Walking down the alleys with their sickly sweet smell of garbage and old buildings awakens something in me. I know I should write more about the things I’ve been through and I will, but now I just need to get through all the work I have to do.

I shot a beautiful wedding in Daylesford the other day and I have a lot of shots I want to share. I don’t know why this one stood out so much. I have other ones where Sharon looks at me and also where she looks at Duncan, but for some reason I really like this one.

Rob

About six months ago I got an email. Rob wrote to tell me he wanted to shoot weddings. And he wanted me to tell him he wasn’t completely out of his mind. Gone completely loopy. Rob was high, high up in the advertising industry, so I could relate to both his concerns about his sanity as well as other things such a wish can affect in life. It’s not easy leaving a high paid job to follow your gut, to do something you feel have meaning. On paper it’s really simple, but in reality it scares you shitless.

I told Rob my story and how I am much happier person today than I ever was working in the advertising industry. I do something I truly enjoy and I also get to make other people happy.

I have found some sort of purpose.

I didn’t want to push Rob in any way, but I think my words struck a chord. I had a feeling Rob would go for it too.

And he did.

Boy did he ever.

Here’s what he did. This is his f i r s t wedding film – the story of an amazing couple and two great cultures coming together.

Here’s to following your heart.

(Rob’s company is called Cherish Films and you can contact him on this address – [email protected] )

Rob shot the week-long wedding with Jesse Tarnoff and Nick Markham who also did the editing and sound mixing.
