The Wedding of Vanessa & Murray

Vanessa & Murray's Wedding Day
Saturday 26th March, 2011
It was a rainy / windy afternoon for Vanessa and Murray's wedding, they unfortunatly had to change their ceremony location to the balcony of the Nelson Bay Golf Club, and to make matters worse, Vanessa recied a phone call only one hour prior to the ceremony, that the car compny she had hired, could not start the cars. We frantically phoned around and sourced one car from Wrights and 1 car from Blakes. They had come to the rescue!!
The rain held off during the ceremony and family photographs, but decided to return in down poor style when we reached Birubi Beach, so unfortunalty only got to capture a few quick images at the beach before heading back to the Golf Club.
Thanks Vanessa and Murray for allowing me to capture your beautiful black and White themed wedding day. I had a ball.
