{james & rebecca} ~ wedding ~ melbourne

Rebecca and James got married in the tallest residential building in the Southern hemisphere, the 300m Eureka Tower in Melbourne. Little did they know their photographer has a pretty extreme fear of heights. I really don’t know how I made it through the night without throwing up all over the guests, but somehow I kept it together.  When in Melbourne, you have to shoot in some of the hidden laneways you find all around town. So we did. Twas a good day.

A F F L U E N Z A - Jonas, they are gorgeous! I really like the pics with the graffiti, really nice contrast to the fancy clothes.

Another favorite is the one with the women looking out from the roof. We are so tiny in the world :)

October 20, 2009 - 3:32 pm

A F F L U E N Z A - Oh, I just saw that she was looking out from the window, not standing on the roof. Big differ – the pic is great and we are tiny anyways *LOL*

Gemma Schipani - I have a really bad fear of heights as well! Your a brave man. I honestly could not have done it. I freak out at about 20 feet off the ground! loving the one with bride in the alley with her hands on the walls.

October 20, 2009 - 6:30 pm

October 20, 2009 - 7:31 pm

kat - rock n roll bride - well you certainly never disappoint do you!

Kent Wedding Photographer - These are stunning, especially the couples portraits!

I know how you feel about shooting a wedding despite fear – I have a phobia of wasps (and I don’t mean I’m scared, it’s a full-on phobia) and the first wedding I shot was in a marquee – 200 guests, 25 waiting staff, a band, 3 photographers and about 250 wasps! I was so scared, but by imagining that my camera was a shield to protect me, I got through it. Without screaming or freezing on the spot even once. And I even got a few good shots ;-)

October 20, 2009 - 8:29 pm

klara - wow, beautiful! i love the portraits in the doorways and all.

October 20, 2009 - 8:29 pm

Marianne Taylor - Ohh man I feel for you… what a horrible scenario, I’m always worried about getting sick or something similar on a job. Nevertheless, you rocked it as usual. You and t/s = awesomes.

Alan Hutchison - “Little did they know their photographer has a pretty extreme fear of heights.”

I share your pain! That shot of the older lady at the window – I’d be freaking.

I wasn’t truly aware of my own fear of height until I decide to propose to my wife to be on top of the Rockefeller Centre in New York – I was on my hands and knees as soon as I got out of the lift – she didn’t know a thing about it, but after I popped the question she did query whether I was meant to drop down on one knee, not crawl around on two LOL

Loving your work Jonas!

October 28, 2009 - 10:41 pm

Cheers,
Joel
