You have to try the silverbeets

When I was sitting there with Jonathan and Zilla’s families around me, it again hit me what a wonderful job I have. Jac and I had taken a couple of wrong turns out of Auckland and when we finally got to Bethell’s Beach it was getting dark. With the help of the last daylight we found our way to where Zilla and Jonathan were staying. When we arrived they quickly sat us down, poured us a glass of wine and told us dinner was five minutes away.

Zilla’s mother hade prepared a feast and we were invited.

As the lemon chicken was passed around the table someone filled up my glass and within minutes it felt like we were part of the family. After ten I felt like we had made new friends.

“You have to try the silverbeets”, Zilla said and who was I to argue.

The rest of the weekend was nothing short of amazing.

I felt part of something and that something I’m going to have to share here.

I just don’t know where to begin.

kick off

I’ve been a bad blogger lately. Mainly because I’ve been busy working, but also because I’ve had some time off. This is actually the last weekend I have off in I don’t know how long and I’m trying to enjoy it as much as possible. At the same time I’m very much looking forward to all the weddings I have ahead of me this year. I’ve shot four already, but it feels like the real season starts now.

And I’m ready.

Next weekend I’m shooting a wedding on Bethell’s Beach in New Zealand and I can’t tell you how excited I am. The bride, Zilla, and her partner, Jon, couldn’t have chosen a more beautiful place. I admit I just wrote the last sentence to be able to write bride Zilla, but still. Bethell’s Beach is where they shot the movie The Piano and even though I’ve never been there I have seen photos. It will be very different.

{andrew & jenny} ~ wedding ~ the secret garden

If you didn’t know it was there, you would never find it. I guess that’s why it’s called the secret garden. Just a small sign. You drive down a private road and suddenly it ends. You’re there. In the secret garden.

I flew five hours from Brisbane to Perth, drove another three down to Margaret River and in the end it was so worth it. Jenny and Andrew had a beautiful wedding and a great reception. Guests from Scotland left snow and -30C to land in the middle of an Australian heat wave. The day I left Perth it was 46C. Living in Brisbane, I’m kind of used to the heat, but thats’s 76 degrees warmer than Scotland. It must have felt like going to another planet for many of the guests from Europe.

Jenny wore an Akira dress, Andrew wore a manly Scottish garment, perfect for the Australian summer.

I think I’ll get one too.

Slàinte Mhath!
