welcome to james day photography

After their engagement photos I think we all knew their wedding was going to be gorgeous.
I genuinly didn’t want to leave at the end of the night.. I just hung around like a bad smell. Everyone was so lovely, so many people came up to me to tell me they had been on my site and loved the photos, people offered to get these photos into bridal mags.. some girls offered to moon me (don’t worry folks, they didnt).. It was all happening! Apparently it’s not a Quirindi wedding without a good mooning! I have to give a special shout out to Pronto, who were the caterers. It forever surprises me how often certain venues (not all of them - Julie you are wonderful) act so peeved when they bring out their meal to you? I just don’t get it.. Pronto was the complete opposite. They were so quickly to do anything for you (they treated me like a king). They have my double thumbs up folks. With a good portion of my clients booking me before their reception venue or anything else.. I’m probably a good person to feed up well. hehe.
Now onto Emily, the second most stunning bride in all time.. (I’m guessing Lauren will be number 1 one of these days). You are so awesome Emily! You rocked out the day with style, and helped everyone have a wonderful time. & Nic, you are the funkiest groom ever. You are a handsome bloke and your coolness just oozes! A huge thank you to Heidi, the bridesmaid who recommended me to Emily. I love you long time!
The wedding had a whole stack of guests from overseas. If someone would care to leave a comment that mentions all the different countries that were represented that would rock! Nic is from Luxembourg, and they both have friends from around the world that joined them for their special day.
Both Nic & Emily’s families were so giving. Thank you for all coming up to me and talking to me at some point throughout the day. I really appreciated it. Also, thank you to Ian, Nic’s dad for organising for me to go up in a helicopter with him a few weeks ago to photograph a rural property! It was great fun hanging out the side of a helicopter with no door.

Enough of the text, and onto the pics!

It’s all about the Bride.

Nic, you’re a little devil!

I love old buildings!

Pencil Jump!

Fooling around

A non typical bridal party shot. I’m so bored of typical.

Maybe goes close to rivalling Kesha’s jump shot that features on the intro to my site?

What is it that Jessica Claire says.. “I don’t like to talk about my flare”..

Ooh Lookey at the bottles!

Nic’s grandfather who used to be a boxer. I just love this shot!

Random ramblings.
Did anyone else get annoyed by their phones and computers switching the time for them a week too early! I certainly did when I went through Maccas’ drivethrough today at what I thought was 9:35, only to be told that it was 10:35 (what the?) and that breakfast wasn’t being served anymore! Arggh!

I’m off to Sydney for the week.. for many reasons really.. read the blog and all will be revealed.

I was in Woolworths earlier buying some healthy food for once and was at the deli section, and for a while I was actually convinced that this sign was meant to be read slightly differently than im sure they intended.

I read it as though it was saying, “Lovely Legs? Then save 50c per kg!”. So I asked the guy at the deli if he thought I had nice legs..turns out they just sell some kind of chicken leg product called “lovely legs”.

Oops.

Something I never thought would happen is going to happen! I will be photographing the wedding of a girl who’s year I was in at school. I never knew Megan very well as I kept to myself alot at school because I hated school with a passion and I just couldn’t want to get out of there and be a pro photographer.
So the other day Megan, Robbie & myself headed out to Gostwyck Church to do a few photos for their engagement. They worked it like models in front of the camera and reminded me of why I love shooting engagement shoots more than anything.
Megan & Robbie, thank you for the opportunity to photograph you both and be with you during one of your very short periods of time together. Megan & Robbie have it tough as Robbie is in the Army and is always away! I feel for you guys.

LOVE these photos. They rock.

Donna & James were married yesterday on the property called “waterloo”, near Glen Innes. Donna got ready at Kings Plains Castle, which is the most amazing castle you would ever expect to see around these ways! The wedding ceremony was at the church on the property and the reception in a marquee out the front of the amazing homestead that James’ parents own. Everything was done in style, from the locations, to the cars, to the photographer.. I mean.. to ahh.. just everything!

I’m just going to add a couple of pics for the moment as I have an engagement shoot in the morning at 6am and am not anywhere near ready for bed! Will add more photos on monday.

JD - don’t forget - more soon!

Here you go!
