Harley & Jade

27 Apr 2008

The award for the most photogenic bride goes to Jade! She looked amazing!

Yesterday’s wedding was for Jade & Harley.. who got married in Dorrigo, but live way up North QLD. They both grew up around the area, and saw it fit that they would come home to their families for the wedding. Everytime I have driven through Dorrigo since Jade booked me I had dreamt of their wedding photos. There are the most incredible rolling hills, with the greenest pastures… and lots of slugs. Ok.. I didn’t realise the slug thing until I kept finding them on me and my gear.

I know that every wedding is special, but this wedding stood out because Harley has just returned from East Timor, serving our country as part of his Army duty.

These images are personal favourites of mine. I just love them!

PLEASE LEAVE ME A COMMENT.. THEY PUT A SMILE ON MY FACE!

  2. AWESOME!!!! WOW!!! AMAZING!!
    Great location, love the hills in the background. And the work with the video light is unreal. This, and last wedding’s, ring shots are both incredible!

    Really creative, undeniably impressive, and unmistakably your work - like a fine wine, James - you just keep getting better!

    Oh yeah, how could i forget..

    Many happy returns to Harley and Jade. May the best day of your past be the worst day of your future.

  9. Hey James,

    I thought that I was impressed when you showed me the photos at the reception but seeing them like this absolutley took my breath away. You have a gift and I will be showing everyone I know these photos. I’m a little disappointed my towel shot didn’t make it onto this site (ha ha).

    Jade is the most stunning bride but your photos only enhanced it!!! Job very well done.

    Didn’t want to just echo everyone else, so pick your own! These are great, love the one of them both sitting on the grass, and the video light ROCKS! You’ll have to let me pick your brain some time!

  25. Awesome work James! Which video light do you use? I need to get one for my June 21 wedding! Thanks, Gemma

  26. Hey Gemma,

    I just use the Lowell ID Light. It’s one of the higher end options.. but I don’t think it matters which one you get.

    I just have a habit of buying the most expensive thing according to my girlfriend…
