Sometimes I get a little nervous shooting weddings where one or both of the couple have a Mediterranean background, as there is often an expectation, not necessarily from the couple themselves, but from the family, that the wedding photos should be quite formal and traditional which isn't really what I do. So I do my best to walk that fine line between staying true to what I do, and also taking some shots to keep the family happy. With Jesse's Maltese heritage, I must say I did feel just a tiny bit apprehensive going into this wedding, but it was completely unnecessary - a gorgeous couple with a great family who were such a delight to work with. And the good news is that everyone, Mum and Dad included, were thrilled with the finished results. Yippee!
Cool Details: Jesse, who had spent many years studying at Melbourne Uni had organised for a permit to allow us to take photos on the campus grounds, full of beautiful limestone buildings seeped in history... and while we utilized the University's above-ground beauty, for me one of the biggest revelations was the 70's futuristic underground car park - such great atmosphere and shadowy lighting, and I was wrapped that Prue & Jesse could appreciate it's artistic merit too!
