our part of the world is certainly a destination for people eloping! sara-may and patrick shared their wedding day with their adorable little baby girl, Katinka, and a couple of close friends. the ceremony took place at mossman gorge and it rained from about 5 minutes after we reached the platform until after we had finished some portraits! thanks to the very relaxed attitude of the bride, groom and attendants, we had a lovely time. i managed to keep my gear reasonably dry with the help of my reflector and spare pair of hands, compliments of the wedding planner who hung around just to help out.

Inspired by the Silver Award winning wedding album [2010 Canon AiPP APPA's] by exceptional photographer Angela Cushway and design influenced by my favourite: ‘frankie’ magazine, this is the cover of Zoe & Paul’s ‘limited edition wedding editorial’. Developed with the Gen-Y bride and groom in mind, the wedding editorial is an unconventional and quirky off-the-shelf magazine issue. The limited edition issue of 100+ content rich pages printed on eco-Star paper [100% recycled, uncoated] with a mat cello cover, features topical articles from the special day, including anything the client would like to include.
The final product incorporates the story of a wedding [or other special event] into a timeless fusion of text, imagery and minimal artwork. Main album may be presented as an IRISbook or other album, with an additional print run of 1, 5, 10 or 100 magazines to share with the guests. Images remain the basis of the design with the client’s choice of relevant supplemental text.
This is an opportunity for bridal party, family and friends to be involved in the album. Invite submissions for your wedding editorial in the form of an article or short feature. Guests could provide their favourite wedding moment or memory of the bride & groom. Collate some funny moments and quotes from the wedding day and beyond. Love letters, anecdotes, etc. etc.
More than a pictorial journal, but a complete record of the occasion. Pictures and words can say even more.

This looks absolutely fantastic Lizzy. We knew you were a great photographer, but we had no idea that you’d come up with something this creative. Can’t wait to send a copy to our guests!July 14, 2010 – 7:55 pm
i’m thrilled you like it, paul – i think this style of presentation will really reflect your wedding, the atmosphere and the images.July 14, 2010 – 9:08 pm
‘wini sleeping’ received a silver award in the documentary category at last month’s 2010 AiPP appa’s. i was unable to attend the judging, however i was lucky enough to meet with the AiPP executive officer Peter Meyers during his recent retreat to Port Douglas. Peter recalled he was there when my print was judged and apparently there was some controversy surrounding it’s eligibility for the category – a couple of the judges considered it was set up – but apparently one of the judges [I can't remember his name] fought for the print to be accepted as a true documentary image. The ankle band had something to do with the judges’ final verdict. And just to enter my own plea… there is no way on earth i would have been able to convince Wini to pose for this image! She was very poorly with a fever fast asleep on the sofa and I was hovering above her hoping she wouldn’t wake up. It is completely unstaged. So I’m very grateful to the judge who argued the point, and a little excited that it drew a little debate. This is my first award so i did a little dance in celebration after seeing the results!
