Sally & Ben (wedding in coffs harbour)

20 Jan 2009

I’m sitting here with my nephew Christopher, who is 8 for one more day.. tomorrow he turns 9!!! Christopher had a sleep over, and I thought i’d show him how I update my blog, as he is one of my blog readers. Yay!

I’m here of course, to present to you a small selection of Sally & Ben’s Weddings Photos. It’s with great joy that I do so, because Sally is one of my friends whom I have known for many years. 

Sally & Ben were married at LifeHouse Church in Coffs Harbour, which is a very very cool church! I always love visiting there when I’m in Coffs. They give out bottles of water which have a label on them that have a graphic illustration of “God”, and text reading “I created water”, - God. Very clever!

Ben & Sally’s wedding was full of emotion. It’s definitely evident in these images, but also in the video that Matt from Shadowplay filmed. He is potentially the first Australian to shoot a wedding video in Australia fully on the 5d2 Canon Camera. Go on over to his blog to see the video.

I watched it so many times… I know you will too! I was telling Matt that my style of photography videos well because I keep people active and having fun. I couldn’t let Matt’s head get too big so I had to take some credit. 

I’ll sign off and let you enjoy these gorgeous photos. 

JD & Chris.

  2. Awesome work James. Ben and I are impressed as usual. I honestly cannot imagine ever having anyone but you shoot for us. Beach shot is fantastic. Love the bridal party huddle too, even though it swallowed up a flowergirl, groomsman and bridesmaid!

  3. Love the last one James. Gorgeous. And that huddle shot is funny! Looks like it was taken just seconds before they all fell over in a big heap! :)

  14. Hey JD,
    Love the work as usual.
    Would love if you got a spare 20 minutes to give us a review and your thoughts on the 5D MarkII.
    Should I sell my 2 5D’s for 1 MarkII?

  14. I’m new to the photography world. Hubby bought me a Cannon EOS 450D (my first SLR) for my B’day and some digital camera lessons for Christmas - so I’ll have a hope of using the camera to it’s potential! Your photography is amazing. I aspire to be able to show my talents as well as you do.
