Well, where do I begin… Almost a year ago today I received an email from the (then) excited bride to be Tara… She told me that my work moved her and asked me if I would consider shooting her wedding at an abandoned Mansion (Alder Manor) in New York. I took about zero seconds to decide, hell yes! I asked Tara if she new I was based in Australia and to that she replied, ‘Yes. Is this going to be a problem?’. From that moment on it was true love . So I brought along my amazingly talented good friend, Samm Blake to help me document this day. It was the hectic and amazing wedding that I always imagined it would be. It looked a little like the images below. Tara, Paul… I love you guys! Thank you for taking a chance on some little (ripped) Australian guy from the other side of the world. You are officially on the besties list in my address book.

Tara and Pauls wedding is also being featured on 100 Layer Cake today.

   

approximately 4 hours earlier that day….

sweet dreams...
