Nat & Russ’s Perfect Pavillion Wedding
March 16 2010
I met Nat & Russ over a year ago when they booked me. From the moment I met them I knew this was going to be one fun day. Nat & Russ are sweet, funny & natural. That’s how their engagement photos were & their wedding too.
Nat & Russ met the a very typical Aussie way at “The Come-By-Chance Racers”. For all those city-slickers out there yes there is a place called Come-By-Chance & yes the racers there are the biggest thing that happens there all year. So that’s where they met in a very relaxed atmosphere.
When Deanna & I got to the girls place Nat’s mum arranged to have “High Tea” for the girls on the day, bringing her fine china all the way from the family farm in Coonamble to Tamworth. This made for some cute shots.
Nat & Russ had their reception at “The Pavillion” & due to me having a wedding everywhere but Tamworth so far this year it was my first chance to meet the new owners. Yes Amy has big shoes to fill with Julie & Noel gone but she was so natural at it,has a few new ideas & is settling in so well. Food was great…everything was great.Congrats cant wait to see what the future holds there.
Nat’s hair & make-up & tan was done by Plush once again…Thankyou this makes my job so much easier having perfection for make-up & giving a bride confidence as she does look like a princess. Im planning on writing a blog post on tanning as it has come a long way in the last few years…but for another day.
Now to the photos…….
If you haven’t guessed that these guys were fun photograph on the day…I’m sure this one will …what a cack

Hi Karissa and Leanda,
Wow, wow, wow!!!! Each time I look at your photos I am reminded why we chose you as our wedding photographer. It just reiterates to me that we SO made the right decision (not that there was ever any doubt mind you).
The photos are just amazing. You are so good at capturing the emotion and love in each wedding and I can’t wait until December for you to capture our wedding.
The lighting, contrast, backgrounds and settings are truly wonderful. Love your work girls. Can’t wait to see the next lot of piccies on your blog.

Heh Thanks Anna
Trust me it will come around soon enough. Maybe I should write a blog post on this but I have a team of assistants-4 girls/mates that I train & pay to help me create all these fab pics & slideshows. I have 1 assitant with me every wedding. It was Deanna’s turn this weekend. Yes I love them & so grateful that they help me as Im pretty picky & a little demanding sometimes. BUt I love having them there to bounce ideas off an extra eye for deatil for dresses & make-up etc. Couldn’t do without them. Yes thats a definate post I think!!!
