For a tiny town, Terang has some beautiful historic buildings. Clare and Shane were married in the town’s impressive Thomson Memorial Presbyterian Church.
It was clear that Clare and Shane felt honoured that so many of their family and friends had travelled far and wide to celebrate their wedding day with them.
I, too, felt honoured to be photographing this very special day, as I am Clare’s cousin. It felt very intimate to be given this all-access pass to my cousin’s wedding day!
Talking of true Melbourne style, check out the bride and groom!
Melissa Jacob from the ceremony store conducted Ben and Jessamy’s relaxed and quite amusing ceremony at the St Kilda botanic gardens which was followed by croquet in the gardens.
Ben and Jessamy have fond connections with St Kilda and liked the idea of including the urban landscape in their wedding photos. So we wandered from the ceremony to the reception and snapped some great shots on the way. Ben even became a part of the city landscape when a pigeon resting on an eve above decided to drop his business on Ben’s shirt! Ben and Jessamy weren’t phased at all, we had a good laugh and continued on! See photo of Jessamy tenderly wiping off said poop from Ben…
Ben and Jessamy I wish you all the best of luck (not that you’ll need it, thanks to that pigeon!)
Lighting is an extemely important factor to photography. Some which we can control (flash etc), some which we can’t (the sun). It is very important that when you plan your wedding, that you utilise the best light for your photographs. You do not want to be doing your photo session in the dark, because using only flash, is very unflattering.
The best time to take photographs is generally the couple of hours leading up to sunset and about half hour affter. If you book Lizzy C Photography I am of course here to advise you on how to best utilise the available light. We can also arrange the locations so as to use the best light available at the time at each location. This is something we can experiment with during your included e-session, prior to the wedding.
This is a good starting guide which indicates sunset/sunrise times at different times of the year.
