Alex & Danika
On Alex’s grandparents 50th Wedding Anniversary, Alex and his new wife Danika were married. I am so happy for both of these people who I consider extremely close friends. I met Alex when I was 18, and I applied for a job at the photography studio he worked at. We actually grew up in the same church, but I ignored him because I thought he was a TAS boy, (a private school in armidale) and I had a thing against them. Turned out I was totally wrong, he was homeschooled and actually an awesome bloke. There’s a lesson against being prejudiced!
I am lying here in bed, nursing extremely sore feet and legs, meanwhile considering how I have such a special role in being the story teller of Alex & Danika’s wedding day.
This was a special day for me for so many reasons. Firstly I had the pleasure of hanging out with some of my most favourite people on the entire planet, also I had the pleasure of having a gorgeous young lady to glance over at for most of the day.. none other than Lauren, who was also a guest at the wedding.
Matt & Katie from Shadowplay also travelled from Toowoomba to hang out with me for the day.. and are actually hanging around for a few days to film a promotional piece for my new blog! Which is so so so nearly ready. These guys have my full adoration!
I know there are quite literally hundreds of people who are just itching to see these photos, and so I am going to have a power trip and make you wait. I am going to put up a few photos every day for the next few days.. and draw it out a little.. Oh come on.. it will be fun!

James,what a magnificent taster of things to come! What a special wedding and awesome couple! Look forward to more amazing shots to come. It’s great to have you back.
It was such a beautiful wedding. They make an awesome couple. Can’t wait to see the rest of the photos.
Welcome back video light INDEED! Stunning.. positively gorgeous
Only 20 sleeps to go.. YAAAYYY!!!!!!!
Oh boy…I’m excited. I will definitely be coming to this URL every day ’til they’re all up!
This was pretty much an amazing wedding/reception. Terrible playlist though

Impressed already! James, thanks so much for your contribution on Saturday, we had a lot of fun, and I can’t wait to see heaps more of the creative stuff you came up with! Thanks also to Matt & Katie (and Maddi!) of Shadowplay for their videography. All you guys were so easy to work with! Can’t reccommend you enough! We’ll be blog watching! Al & Nik
Hi guys,
You both look fantastic, really like the photos so far, especially the first.
Wishing you all the best in your new life together.
Fara and Craig
Please! The suspense is killing us!
He he he, I LOVE the lip shot!
Love the best mates/brother in law shot! But come on James, please more soon! Sort of enjoying the suspense!:P
Ok, so I’m going to leave a comment every time more photos appear of Al and Nika’s wedding day.
I love them…though number 8 is a bit weird to look at. It’s almost uncomfortable to look at…cos it’s wonky. Creepy as but it’s a mad photo!
arrrrhhhh james these are amazing! the lips are pretty much hilarous! i dare you to put the rest up…that would be fun!
The rings on the piano keys - so right! Amazing people, amazing shots - keep ‘em coming!
Yay, there’s more! Keep them coming indeed! Lovely.
Absolutely splendiferous
The lips are classic, and I’m with Kerry on the rings. Struggling to pick a favourite because the people themselves are just so amazing, though there is something about the one in the grass/reeds…
Lol..these are getting more hilarious every time. Last shot = AWESOME!
Incredible James… love the lips shot. The video light is smooth.
So, ah James, I seem to remember you taking more shots where you told al and nik to…what was the instruction again?…oh yeah, thats right “grab each other’s arse!” Why aren’t they up here???
yesss amazing! more more more please! the old guy is sooo cool!

Congatulations Danika and Alex. Whilst I have not met Danika, she looks absolutely radiant and I know she is a special woman because she married a special bloke.

[...] It was really interesting seeing what different perspectives James and I got from shooting the same wedding. That’s what great about photography - everyone has a unique eye. You can see James’ shots HERE. [...]
