Greg & Ali (armidale wedding)
Thursday, February 19th, 2009So as not to cause a distraction from the awesomeness that was Greg & Ali’s Wedding.. I will definitely talk about that first.. but make sure you scroll down and keep reading as there will be lots more quicy info to share!
Greg & Ali turned up to their first meeting with me with both their mums. I knew this was a great sign.. I knew that this would be a great group of guys to work with.. and a wedding that I was very excited about being the photographer for.
The weather really was one thing that stood out.. it rained pretty solid the whole day.. but rather than that getting anyone down.. I think it actually improved the experience. It’s funny how these things happen.
The day started off with me heading out to the boys.. at Greg’s parents place.. a little out of town. Then off to the girls who were staying at the executive oasis apartments in town. The wedding was held at St Ursulines Chapel, next to the main Catholic Cathedral in Armidale. When I looked at the shot of the Chapel I knew there was something very special about it.. but since then I’ve found out that this is the last wedding that will ever be held in that chapel. WOW! The nuns who run the chapel are leaving, so there will be nun left to run it 
The bridal party photos were taken inside the nuns house next to the chapel, as well as a family friend of the grooms family’s house. Thank you!
We then went on to the reception out of town on “The Selection”, which is a part of Greg’s families property. There was a gorgeous marquee and was catered by Jazzamatazz.
They went on to party through till 4am I believe. I definitely believe it!
THE END..
…but not quite. An interesting thing happened on the way to the wedding. I was pulled over by a policeman who informed me that my drivers licence was suspended, my car rego was cancelled and I was in big trouble. HUH? I was totally flabbergastered! Anyhow.. to cut a long story short..I had an overdue parking fine from Feb 08..which I didn’t realise wasn’t paid.. and one thing lead to another and this all happened without me realising it. I never saw any letters or knew anything about this until he pulled me over. You can imagine how shocked I was when he told me I had been driving illegally since July 08. I’ve driven in the USA, Canada and every day here in OZ with no idea! The policeman was very gracious and let me off any charges as he understood that I had no idea. I now have my licence and rego again.. but boy what a drama!
Enjoy the photos!
p.s. I’m really looking forward to getting a new blog. This one is driving me crazy!!! The photos are always out of order!!! I’ve tried contacting the developer, but they don’t reply! If you read this.. email me dude!
