Henry is a pretty chilled out dude. When I arrived to take some photos of the guys getting ready at Encounter Bay I discovered there was no groom – Henry was actually down at Middleton. On his surfboard. Out the back. Half an hour later he returned, invigorated, and we got into some photos and […]

Choo choo!!! What’s that sound? It’s the blog train and I’m back on board! It’s been a busy year on the weddings front and on the home front (a new baby boy, our second!) but it’s been an extremely lean year for the blog.  These days I post a lot of photos over on my […]

I used to be good at blogging. I started the blog back in 2008 and was posting a new entry every couple of weeks, the next year I cranked up the output to nearly 1 post week and I kept up that pace for about 3 years. In 2011 I had 42 posts for the […]
