Josh and Sam’s Wedding!

A little while back now, after doing Heather and Ben’s Wedding in Coffs Harbour on the friday, it was off to Armidale for me to photograph the wedding of Sam and Josh over that weekend. Having done the engagement session previously I was really looking forward to photographing their wedding. I certainly wasn’t disapointed!

The day started in Armidale with Josh and his groomsmen getting ready at his house, and then to where Sam and her bridesmaids were. After doing the preperation shots we hopped in the cars and headed to the wedding. The ceremony as well as the photo shoot and reception was held at the Merilba Estate Winery, located between Tamworth and Armidale. We arrived with plenty of time and whilst the girls hid out I was able to get a few shots of the beautiful decorations and people arriving. Before too long though it was time for the ceremony to begin, Josh was beaming as Sam and her proud father walked down the aisle, the $5 payment to her dad was a nice touch Josh! The scene was then set for the ceremony. It was located outside an old barn which looked really cool, and you could see great big storm clouds circling on the horizon.

After the group and family photos, we started on the portraits on the beautiful grounds around the estate. Everything from old buildings, to trees, fields and long grass was there. Plenty of variety in the one location. Teesh, who will soon have her wedding photographed by Amy, was the MC for the evening, and did a beautiful job, the whole day went off really well, the speeches were funny, the food great, then it was time to dance. After our slideshow it was time for me to finish up.

It was a great wedding to be a part of, here’s some pics! The rest too have been posted so you should be recieving them soon!!
