Today was a taste of what it will be like on our wedding day – no wonder people take a week’s leave before the Big Day!  Rising at 4.50am this morning was NO JOKE – I was awake even before the alarm rang, in fear I would miss the alarm and be late :P  

The day was actually pretty good for photos – I was worried that it would rain as there was quite a heavy overcast – but Praise God it did not rain and probably worked out well as we did not have to squint to shield our eyes from the sunshine.

I’ll keep this one short, as I have no photos to entertain you with – but check in about 6 weeks time and hopefully we will have some photos to blog up!

So here are some of our thoughts from today’s shoot:

  • A few friends asked about Jenny Sun (JS)!  How was she like?!  Yes true enough, JS is exactly like her blog!!! The happy, chirpy cheery person!
  • We had a great time – the 2 hours just flew by so quickly!  JS made us feel totally comfortable by chatting with us the whole way through, so we felt totally natural!
  • We will not see Freo in the same light again!  It’s very different seeing it through the eyes of a photographer!  It was JS’ first time in Perth but she spotted some really cool spots that I would never have even looked at twice!
  • First time having spanish doughnuts and the thickest and richest mocha ever! (Check out San Churro next time you’re in Freo!)  Yes we had a shoot here! Yippee totally us – cafe, food, and my craze to find good quality chocolate!
  • JS shoots really quickly – so that was great!  It actually is a great thing if you’re not a model and not used to standing infront of a camera – less time to feel awkward :P
  • A wore an awesome jacket – :)   Glad we finally found IT!

It was a great experience – whilst I dont think my calling in life is to be a model, I’m glad to have met someone who has found her calling in life :)   and yet so real and humble in every sense.  As A puts it, you get the nice feel that she is taking your wedding pics as a friend.  That’s the real difference between a great photographer and someone who just takes pictures – the connection, the warmth and the feeling that this person is part of your wedding journey.

Okay this is getting LONGER than anticipated… hahaha I can’t help it once I start typing!  But best get ready for bed – it has been a VERY long day *yawn*  Stay tuned for the photos!!! :)  

P.S. Flowergirl dresses have arrived! Yay!  Will check it out tomorrow and see what our little princess will be wearing!!! :)
