“When he looked into her eyes, he learned the most important part of the language that all the world spoke – the language that everyone on earth was capable of understanding in their heart. It was love. Something older than humanity, more ancient than the desert. What the boy felt at that moment was that he was in the presence of the only woman in his life, and that, with no need for words, she recognised the same thing.
Because when you know the language, it’s easy to understand that someone in the world awaits you, whether it’s in the middle of the desert or in some great city. And when two such people encounter each other, the past and the future become unimportant. There is only that moment, and the incredible certainty that everything under the sun has been written by one hand only. It is the hand that evokes love, and creates a twin soul for every person in the world. Without such love, one’s dreams would have no meaning.”

BIRDS OF A FEATHER FLOCK TOGETHER
Brisbane in spring. Hot. Blue skies and colourful flowered trees lining the city. On a truly quintessential Queensland day we photographed a wedding in West End, as we left the church running for the car we looked back at the sky to check the light and saw these two birds perched happily on the roof as the bride and groom were making their way to the car. It was such a special moment that we quickly snapped it before we took off and looking back on the pic we feel that sweet vibe of a good omen…
To quote the most romantic movie of the generation..

'The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars'

Take me to the ocean...
It's the small things that when you look back, matter the most. Collecting shells, playing dress-ups, the feeling of your barefeet in the sand. That's the crazy-simple secret of a satisfying life...appreciating as many of these teeny tiny little moments as you can. That is exactly what we did on an easy wonderful afternoon with this beautiful family of three- Bede, Tarryn and little Willow. With the whole family being lovers of the beach and ocean we whisked them down to one of our favourite spots to capture them in a relaxed environment, they just played and enjoyed themselves while we photographed them interacting and being natural. Capturing moments like these is easy when you just let people be themselves. The colours in the afternoon at the beach are so clean and glorious!
