Madeleine and Julius ~ Cockatoo Island

Madeleine and Julius are both talented film directors, Julius is the only Australian director to have ever won a Palm D’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, but on this stormy day on Cockatoo Island in Sydney he was completely outshone by Madeleine.

As the clouds pulled in they both asked me if the approaching storm would be a problem.

“Don’t worry, it will just make it more cinematic.”, I said and held my breath.

  1. That photo of the bride with the storm clouds brewing behind her is AMAZING! I love the pose she’s in – she looks so strong (almost fierce), yet still feminine. Such a beauty. I love her dress and styling. Cockatoo Island has never looked so good either Jonas. Love all of these wedding shots – the stormy backgrounds are killer! Cinematic and sublime.

  2. Holy crap, these are amazing! That stormy sky makes these even more incredible. This shit belongs in a magazine, Ashley. Wow.

  3. Wow! There’s so many ways this wedding could have become a cliche. With your eyes it’s pure magic.

  4. You find the best place to put the bride and groom with regard to light and their surroundings to create interest, amazes me every time! awesome work dude!
