Beautiful Day Photography’s Weblog

What  can I say? I am UTTERLY in LOVE with Australia and have been since the first time I visited Kristie there years ago.  The people are so sarcastic and funny and just FUN and the landscape is gorgeous. I could totally live there.  It is even more beautiful when you drive a few hours outside of the city to the Blue Mountains where her wedding was.  Kristie and Johan bought a ranch with horses there together and decided to have their wedding ceremony there.  They then went to a quaint Hotel a half hour away called Lillianfels for their reception.

This wedding was VERY close and dear to my heart.  Kristie is like a soul sister to me.  We met years ago and have one of those relationships where it doesn’t matter how much time has gone by, we just can pick up right where we left off.  We both have witnessed each other and supported each other through some majorly dramatic situations and break ups and to see Kristie FINALLY find a man as in love with her as Johan and to see how he calms her and dotes on her is just the most amazing gift to me.  This was my first time meeting him and I know they will both be in my life always:)  Although Kristie has calmed down SIGNIFICANTLY since our partying days:), they still tore it up at her wedding…I was deliriously exhausted being up till 5:30am and having to catch a flight to New Zealand the next day, but I would have had it no other way.  Here are some photos from her wedding in the Blue Mountains.  I am doing my best to reach out to Aussie Coordinators so I can spend our LA Winters/Their Australian Summers shooting weddings in Australia.  I will be back very soon Kristie and Johan!  Mark my words!!:)

I have to ALSO say a HUGE Thank you to one of my dear friends/assistant Sarah Emery (featured below) who not only was the BEST travel companion, but worked her butt off assisting me on this trip.  Thanks girl!
