The proudest brother on Earth

My sister was married this Saturday just past, the 10th November 2007. Not only did my sister look more beautiful than I had ever seen her before, but I was also granted the privilege of photographing the wedding for them!

Well! The day started for me at 0400, but I didn’t get to my Mum’s place (the bridal headquarters) until 1030. All the girls were getting ready, and fretting over makeup, hair, dresses, cleavage, you name it, it was fretted upon. Much fretting all round, really…

I took the opportunity to get a quick shot of testosterone by ducking around to Groom HQ to shoot the boys getting ready. In stark contrast to the girls, I arrived to find all the guys sitting on the couch, beers in hand, wearing wife-beaters (slang for singlets) and watching the WWE wrestling on Foxtel!

The wedding ceremony, on the beach at St. Kilda, was stunningly gorgeous, and my sister deserves the credit for the whole lot, she singlehandedly organised her wedding at eight and a half months pregnant (she is due in two weeks, more photos to come shortly of that event…). We dropped past the Junction Oval (traditional home of the Melbourne Football Club, of which my brother-in-law is a dedicated disciple) and the Fitzroy Gardens. The reception was held at the Airport Club in Tullamarine, and I think it’s safe to say that everyone had a great time!

I didn’t stop shooting all day, amassing 627 photos with a 5 minute break for dinner the only real rest I had, but I am not complaining and it was fantastic to be able to record the milestone for Terry and Tegan, and do it in a way that they can enjoy for generations… It was a great honour to have, so thank you guys!!
