There is so much I want to say about these 2 generous, sweet and gentle people..and many more images to share..but for now here is a little preview of their sensational day. Have a blast in Hawaii L&M..I’ll have more to share on your return .. and thank you for your  faith in me and being so fabulous!. xxx jk

So last week was kind of crazy. I shot a wonderful wedding on saturday, came home, frantically packed, slept for 3 hours and then flew to Mexico for an amazing week of learning, growth and inspiration at the what if conference. I wish I had “better” words to explain how much this time in Mexico affected me both as a photographer and a business owner , but mostly as a person. It challenged me and made me more excited than ever to follow my heart and live my dreams….to chase my bliss & build my own star. It opened my eyes to new possibilities and new perspectives and most of all, it introduced me to some amazing people who I now consider my friends. I loved being surrounded by fellow artist-preneurs who shared themselves, their journeys, failures and successes.. It was a truly amazing 4 days in a stunning location! If you are a creative looking to push your boundaries then I encourage you to check out the what if website … they will be sharing the dates for the next one soon and I imagine it will fill up fast!!

Funnily enough, I didn’t take that many pictures while I was there..I dragged my camera across the globe because I wanted to capture the feel of the place but I knew I also wanted to step away from the camera and live in the moments that were happening around me for a change. So my camera only made it out of its bag a few times and now I regret I didn’t photograph more of the faces around me. The ones you do see are my amazing old friend Lauren and my beautiful and inspiring new friends, Justin & Mary. Enjoy this little sampler of Cabo through my eyes… xx jk

The day started with big black clouds and light rain falling, and I must admit I felt a bit ripped off (rain two weekends in a row..no fair??! ). But just as Erin entered the church, the rain stopped and didn’t return for the remainder of their day..we even had glimpses of sunshine through the clouds every so often! and what a perfect day it was! 2 amazingly clever and spunky people committing their lives to each other surrounded by their fun family and friends. Erin and Kane have been together for 9.5 years and they continue to adore each other so openly and honestly. I loved spending the day with them…they are so fun to be around ..their gentle tenderness for each other, their light hearted banter and how easily they make each other laugh. They put so much thought into making their day special and personal with beautiful & fun details… Stunning flowers from Always flowers, an amazing textured bridesmaid dress, killer heels, sensational stationary  and Erin’s stunning textured dress had me literally gasping on sight. Thank you Erin and Kane for trusting me to capture your beautiful day…enjoy this little taste test…and  have a fabulous time in the sun!!! xxx jk 

wow..what an amazing day I had today. I was up super early (especially for me on a sunday) and as I drove through the torrential rain leaving Wollongong, I was praying it was sunny in the mountains..but sadly I didn’t have my prayers answered. It rained ALL day today.. from a very light sprinkle to a torrential downpour. (My BIG WET lesson for the day was that it can go from sprinkle to torrential in 2 seconds in the mountains..doh!) But the weather didn’t seem to matter to Mandy and Michael. They were just so excited and happy to be marrying each other..high school sweethearts, best friends and a perfect match! It was a beautiful intimate wedding with their close family and friends and it was a joy to witness their deep love for each other and watch them enjoy their day. They hard their ceremony at the gorgeous Yester Grange before we headed off to Flat rock for some photos.  The rain teased us for about 10 minutes and eased to the lightest of sprinkles so we snuck up to the rock without umbrellas.. and about a minute later it poured! and we got VERY WET while I made a mad dash back to the car to get umbrellas..it was quite funny and made for great photos!! We then finished up at the Carrington for a beautiful lunch and afternoon of fun!  Thank you M&M for trusting me with capturing your special day…I loved spending the day with you!! happy camping! xxx jk
