Well today is the day that we fly out to Vietnam, leaving behind a great time spent in Innisfail just 1 hour south of Cairns. My wife and I spent some time shopping and exploring a few little towns in the area. My sister is the one who lives here with her husband and family. Yes… they grow bananas, lots of them. So here are a few shots from our time with them.

The first few shot are taken in a little town of Millaa Millaa in the main street =)

The old cheese factory, its now up for auction. This little town used to be heavily into dairy and producing massive amounts of dairy products.

This was the weirdest fly I had seen, but it had some unique colours.

These guys were the founders of Palmerston a little town just out from Millaa Millaa. Someone had decided to put a santa hat on one of the satutues.

The General Store.

I loved this sign =)

These tiles made a massive image, but I liked the texture it creates as a close-up.

The Take-Away shop.

Millaa Millaa Falls… So many people come here to check it out or just to have a swim… bit cold.

This little turtle was spotted by my wife right across the other side of the waterfall so I got out my 70-200 with my 2x converter and waded out into the water to get the shot. My wife has very good eyes =)

Lonely little tree

This was a tea farm…

And yes we purchased some tea for $3.50 sooo cheap.

Me on the farm, checking out my brother-in-laws bananas

My Family on Christmas day.

Last Saturday saw the last wedding for 2008 before we head over to Vietnam for 4 weeks. It was a great wedding… a little windy, but hey the rain did stay away and we managed to get some great shots. It was held out on the furthest point on the Coffs Harbour Jetty. Melissa looked great with her hair out and flowing in the wind. Graeme just couldn’t keep the smile off his face all day. I really enjoyed the shoot as this couple provided some really great moments together in front of the lens =) We even had a lost shoe in the cracks of the Jetty on the way down the Aisle.

See you all real soon =)

Last night I really got to use my new toy. I took heaps of photos and some HD video footage, then last night I decided to put it all together and this was the result. Just slapped together no editing with pro software either.

After arriving back from Tamworth the night before, I had the privilege of shooting the wedding of Natalie and Ben. Bit of a romantic love story here I tell you. They both met in the States… That’s the USA while Natalie was on holidays… Ben well he is a man from Mexico who too was in holiday mode, they both fell helplessly in love. They came back to Australia where they married and so for Ben’s family who could not make it over for the wedding here are some of the pics that we took.

To Natalie & Ben Congrats and I hope you like the pics =)

I had such a busy weekend I just had to recover yesterday and spend sometime with ME =)

On Friday I travelled out to a very familiar town of Tamworth NSW, the country music capital of Oz. By familiar I mean before I married my wife she used to live out there and work for Prime News so I know the road like the back of my hand not to mention some pretty amazing places to shoot. 

So on friday I managed to catch up with Crystal and Matt for the first time, it was like I had known them for ages. For those of you who might think you recognize or know this girl then you probably do, she is part of the really rad band “Chasing Bailey”. I love these guys as a band =)

Saturday was a heap of fun, the ceremony was held at St Johns Church and the weather well it looked like it was going to rain and it did for all of about about 5 minutes 2 hours before the ceremony, then it was perfect. I loved this wedding, Crystal and Matt were amazing, I love you guys and Yes I will will come visit you one day soon =) They were 2 people totally in love with each other and couldn’t wait for the moment where “You may now kiss the bride”. We had a heap of fun on the photo shoot, boys being boys and the girls, well…. they just looked so good all day.

Just wanted to say a big shout out to Crystals dad, he was one of my favourites on the day, Mr Funny =) I loved it!

Sunday our family headed to Cafe Aqua for lunch with my brother-in-law, it was his 30th birthday! My reason for posting this array of photos is so my other brother-in-law in London can have an update on the family.

So to Matt & Lucy hope you like the pics =) See in a couple of weeks YaaaaaaH!!!
