21.01.2022 I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to shoot weddings in such a wide variety of places. Living in Sydney, it's not often I see the stars with this kind of clarity and that feeling of adventure is a big part of why I love what I do.

21.01.2022 Fee and the bridesmaids killing it just before the ceremony

18.01.2022 "Jo told me when we met that Cheuk is the extrovert and she’s the introvert but it was clear from the relief in his face when he saw her that Jo gives Cheuk the support to be that outgoing guy."

18.01.2022 With all the talk this week about people getting back to their offices, I'm feeling hopeful that I'll be getting back to my office soon too.

17.01.2022 Maria and Marvin met on a dating site while Maria was travelling in the UK. Marvin’s online name Masculine Marv. Love it. Maria is the picture of warmth and organisation and if Marvin was a character in a book I’d say he’d be the Big Friendly Giant. I asked Maria about what they felt were some more meaningful moments on the day:... What no one saw was - in between our photo shoot and the reception Marvin and I went back to our hotel and used one of the meeting rooms there to practice our first dance as we had not done so before in our wedding outfits. It was always going to be a risk performing the dance in my dress with its train (even after adjusting it so the train was wrapped around my wrist) and Marvin in his fairly tight fitted suit (with his muscles threatening to rip a tear particularly in his pants hahaha). After running through the dance of a few times I was completely freaking out as I was tripping all over my dress. We continued to practice but time was running out as we had to leave for the reception (in peak hour traffic) and we had still not been able to complete the dance once without me stepping on my dress. What meant so much to me was how Marvin handled this moment. This was an unplanned issue that came up and usually I am the calm and composed one in these type of situations but Marvin really stepped up, he calmed me down, had confidence and trust in all the practice we had done and reminded me that even if the dance wasn't perfect it wouldn't matter. I thought to myself this is why I married him and what marriage is about. A true partnership where one person is weak or not thinking straight the other can be source of support and balance out the situation. In the end the dance worked out better than expected and was a complete success (with some help from the night winds lifting the dress off my shoes). Marvin didn't tear his suit and even managed to style it out and cover a choreography mistake I had made (I was just so into the dance I didn't realise I had made a mistake but neither did anyone else in the audience :) ). The dance ended up being one of the most memorable moments and highlights of the day not only because of the cheers and applause we received but because of how Marvin helped me overcome the melt down I was experiencing before it.

16.01.2022 After the wedding I asked Tui why having photos of her breast-feeding their daughter Frankie was meaningful to her. It was important to me that in the process of getting married, I wasn’t being a person that I’m not usually It’s just one day in the whole of my life, and to that end I never felt like a bride or, now that I think about it, even referred to it as my wedding, always the wedding, as an event for everybody to enjoy and be part of, not just for me or me and ...Boyd. That’s why I particularly like that you were there the day before the wedding, and the photos of everyone setting up and being together. I love that those are the start photos rather than starting with fancy dress pics or champagne in robes or whatever. There’s a lot of set up and backstory that goes into a relationship and a wedding, and no wedding can be completely just about two people because everybody is shaped by their relationships with the people around them - especially in our situation where we already have kids and a family, and the focus can never be just on us (which is how I prefer it, actually). It’s nice to go into a marriage not promising to be something that we’re not, or trying to be a lofty, unattainable version of ourselves. It’s nice to feel like you’re enough just as you are. I am a breastfeeding mum. That’s what I spend a lot of my time doing, and it’s a relationship I have with my children that’s very special to me. It’s a huge thing to make a person and then also keep them alive just with your body. That’s what I am and what I do every other day, and I wasn’t going to change that just to get married. It’s also such a normal and everyday thing that it’s not necessarily something that gets documented, and in years to come when your kids grow up and stop feeding from you, it’s not necessarily something you always have a lot of photos to look back on. - Tui.

14.01.2022 New kids on the blog: Mia & Cale https://www.jackjonesweddings.com.au//mia-and-cale-doltone Mia and Cale are two good friends of mine so naturally this wedding had some extra meaning for me.... They met while studying at UTS and survived all the big alcohol-fuelled nights that student life brings, probably because these two are the picture of strength and maturity. Claire, the maid-of-honour spoke of Mia’s strength when recounting a moment in high-school when Claire and some other 15 year old girls were self-consciously discussing insecurities about their own appearances. Mia responded to this saying I love myself and I love my body. There was not even a hint of nerves from these two (maybe they’re just that good at hiding it) they were the same genuine and warm souls they always are. They brought out the best in their friends and family by truly enjoying the day themselves. My favourite moment: During the photo-shoot 3 friends were enjoying some wine at the end of the wharf so I asked them to prepare to judge the next pose competition. The bridal party then dropped some hot poses and Lexie (the bridesmaid on the end) was announced the winner out of sheer commitment.

13.01.2022 Maddie and Jack are two driven people. They know what they want and they go for it. They met in year 7 and their relationship began with Maddie convincing Jack to break up with his then girlfriend. Fast forward to 2019 and at the ripe-old-age of 21 they bought their first house together just a few months before getting married at the beautiful Bendooley Estate. To be honest it’s just really fun to live with your best friend, and I’m very aware (and grateful) of the circumst...ances and support that helped us to get to where we are now. Maddie told me that she has a very strong relationship with her dad and that he’d been planning out their father-daughter dance since she was little. When he first heard the song ‘Cinderella’ he said ‘One day I’m going to dance with my daughter at her wedding to this song’. My most memorable moment occurred during that dance when, unexpectedly Maddie’s mum, Stephanie was asked to dance by HER dad. It was already a lovely moment in my eyes but when I went to talk to Stephanie about it she mentioned that in recent years she and her dad had quite a distant relationship. This dance had even more meaning than I had realised when I photographed it. To me, moments like that are truly beautiful.
