Pete & Toni’s Wedding (faith, hope & love)
November 10th, 2009
On Saturday, 31st of October, two beautiful souls made a committment to each other, a committment “always & forever” to be life partners, best friends, and be married in Bundaberg, QLD.
I met Pete & Toni a few years ago at one of their friends weddings in Moree and when it was time for them to be married, I got an email from them asking if I would be able to be their photographer.
I became not only their photographer, but a close friend I’d like to think. Also, after their engagement shoot Toni went away and wrote a song for my website, which is the 3 words song that you’ve heard on here before! Well today, we are introducing a new song called “Always & Forever”. Toni wrote this song for Pete as a surprise for the wedding day and it played while they signed the register. The song will now be available on the website along with the old favourite “3 words”.
We had some stunning locations to photograph, including the Bundaberg Rum Factory, an old boat wreck area, and a nice open field at the very last light. I couldn’t have asked for any more!
Here are a few images from the wedding, although I feel that I may end up doing a second post with more images at some point in the future.
Pete thought I was a bit weird when I asked him to stand on a bench in the kitchen. There was a skylight in the room and it created the coolest light. I showed him the image on the back of the camera and he didn’t think I was too weird afterwards 
I added this pic to my facebook after the wedding, and judging by the amount of comments, it was rather popular!
This was at the super famous Bundaberg Rum Factory.
I love that last bit of light just after the sun dissapears from view.
I just had to include a shot of this little guy, he ripped up the dancefloor all night (right next to me).

Gorgeous images James! And such a nice couple too. I remember Pete when he was a student at Concordia, and I was a boarding master there. So cool to see him all grown up, and married to his soul mate!

James, these are THE most awesomely visually stunning photos I’ve seen in a long time.
Kudos to you, my talented friend!
Mwah! Amy

Wowowowowowowowowowowow! Excuse me while I have a gleeful little moment over here in my corner. These are exquisite. Toni and Pete must be itching to get their hands on the rest of them. And that last one of Pita busting a move is ADORABLE!

All the photos of Peter and Toni are just wonderful and we agree with Erin, the last one of the dance pro is terrific! Of course we are a little biased but hey do we care?

By the way, we think that’s Chris’s arm in that photo with Pita… how funny!

You did a wonderful job with Toni and Peter. But how could you not, with such beautiful subjects? I love the variation of locations and formats, it is refreshing to see something other than the usual old style of wedding photographs. Thank you for the visually stunning images!!!!

I used to work with Ken (Toni’s father) in Moree. He was very proud when he told me the website to look up today to see his beautiful daughter’s wedding photos; and proud he should be. WOW! She is beautiful, and I wish I hadn’t already been married because I know who I’d now pick for my photographer! Do you do family photos???

You made some very good details there. I did a look for for the subject and discovered most folks will agree together with your weblog.

Where can I download good theme for wordpress? There are very good themes, but sometimes inconvenient to set up. I tried last versions of Designora, My Office, Jarrah, Rockwell, also I have installed also ProSense – simple, but optimized for adsense. Not often we can see something convenient but rich in options.

Do you have a spam problem on this site; I also am a blogger, and I was wanting to know your situation; we have created some nice methods and we are looking to trade techniques with other folks, be sure to shoot me an email if interested.

I have mastered some considerations through your blog post. One other subject I would like to mention is that there are various games available on the market designed particularly for toddler age young children. They consist of pattern acknowledgement, colors, wildlife, and shapes. These often focus on familiarization as an alternative to memorization. This helps to keep little ones occupied without having the experience like they are learning. Thanks.
