It’s a great sociological study of a huge cross section of the multi culturalism Sydney. There is such a wealth in diversity in cultures here in Sydney I’m never tire of being invited to document the love and joy of couples at their wedding day.
That unique moment, once in a lifetime gathering of friends and family on such an important occasion.
It’s such a fanfare of laughter, joy, tears, all the emotions involved from anticipation in the air, the intensity, concentration then release of letting go at the reception.
There is a huge variety of personalities present at each and every wedding. The crazy uncle, the brothers, the cousin (black sheep of the family) that hasn’t been seeing for ages, the grandparents who have seen it all, to the laughter and innocence of the energy of the children running around in a frenzy.
Diversity of cultures is always interesting. From the mostly Celtic North Shore Areas of Sydney, to the inner west suburbs, all add to such colorful and interesting story line.
Locations are always different. One day shooting near the harbour bridge our beautiful Sydney backdrop, other days in some upper class 5 start hotel to the simplistic and more familiar surrounded wedding of a suburban backyard.
No matter what, the energy of a wedding day it always cherished by me.
