Sally & Chris {The Romance Session}

Tuesday, February 16, 2010 Posted in Weddings 2 comments

Sally and Chris were married in October last year. Their lovely friend, and Sally’s mother, helped to arrange a portrait session to provide some photographic memories after a disappointing experience with their other wedding photographer.

Lauren Parkinson provided some stunning makeup, while Sally’s friend did her hair and their florist provided some silk flowers as a replication of their original bouquet. They wore their outfits again and we ventured to the gorgeous Himeji Gardens to enjoy some romantic portraits. The light was absolutely perfect.

Working with Sally and Chris was a fabulous experience, and I felt very honoured to have been chosen to be their new photographer. They are both very warm, happy, kind people. They were high school sweethearts – together since Year 9 – and you can definitely tell their love has not faded but grown much stronger since!

A huge thank you to Sally and Chris (and their helpers!) for instilling your trust and investing your time in me, and I hope you enjoy your new photographic memories. Karalee xx

Music By Association

Monday, February 15, 2010 Posted in Weddings 1 comment

I love music. That might not sound like the most remarkable thing in the world, but I really don’t know if I could manage without music. I have to listen to music while editing photos during the week, studying or driving. I’m a car singer. I often pray that other drivers can’t hear me sing, but I love to sing. It’s an expression of me. I associate music and lyrics with movies, with memories, and with weddings.

Which leads me to this blog post. I was driving somewhere the other day, and a few different songs came on. Suddenly, without my really being aware of it, I was thinking of certain couples and weddings that I’ve photographed – because those songs have entrenched themselves in my mind as being forever associated with them. Whether that song was their processional music, their first dance or simply played while they were getting ready, there are many songs that are like this for me.

I thought it could be interesting to go back and remember the specifics songs that make me remember by association. So, without further ado:

Sam & Sean {Married!}

Friday, February 12, 2010 Posted in Weddings No comments

Sam and Sean were married late in the afternoon at Paxton’s Winery in McLaren Vale – I really love winery weddings (probably because I spent my high school years living in the Barossa!) as they have such a rustic, magic charm to them. I met Sam and Sean for the first time just last Tuesday – Sam booked me after I photographed a friend’s wedding a year or so ago. It was great getting to know them and their gorgeous bridal party. Here are some of my favourite shots from the day:

P.S. Happy Wedding to bridesmaid Katie, who I believe is getting married today or tomorrow! Congratulations!
