Wedding Photography for the Blue Mountains, Lithgow, Penrith, Hawkesbury, Sydney
Don’t you just love Scottish Dew…well I do!… especially up here in The Blue Mountains. The light is so soft with the dark heavy clouds hanging around. I love working in these conditions. Don’t ever be dismayed by rainy days on your wedding. There are so many amazing possibilities for great photographs like a reflection in a puddle for example…well this was a huge one! Or wonderful ethereal images!
Well finally after 20 wonderful years of marriage I took the urge to buy my beautiful wife an eternity ring. Yes, I know it is about time! I have never seen such a happy wife!…well she is always happy but now she is completely overjoyed! I really didn’t know how much a woman treasured an eternity ring! She said to me that it is not so much having more diamonds on her finger but what it symbolizes. She wanted to have one of her favourite Bible verses engraved inside of it which is Ecclesiastes 4:12 which says…
‘Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken’.
Just like the eternity ring completes the engagement ring and wedding ring, The rope-makers of the ancient world discovered that a rope made of a single or a double strand of thread could be broken so easily; however, a rope made of three strands was not so easily broken.
The author, Solomon does not want to teach us about ropes; rather, he wants to teach us about marriage. A person by him or herself, without companionship, support, and love, is like a cord of one strand – they are not very strong. Two people who support and love each other, like a rope of two strands, is stronger. A three-stranded cord, however, is even stronger. In marriage and the family, a three-strand cord is husband and wife and God. This sort of marriage is not easily broken. This sort of marriage can endure the trials of life’s journey.
Isn’t that a wonderful verse!
BTW, all you lovebirds out there whom are getting engaged, if you are looking for a jeweler for that perfect engagement ring, check out Nauthe’s Jewellers in Springwood, The Blue Mountains. They are amazing and great customer service too!
Truly lovely photo’s Peter, I look forward to seeing the rest of them one day.
Here are a few favourite images from Hannah and Jeffrey’s wedding that I am currently editing. The wedding was held in the flooded countryside of Blayney, just west of Bathurst. More images coming very soon!

Love the Bride running to towards the train… beautiful!
Thanks so much Peter! Looking forward to seeing the rest!! 🙂
As a wedding photographer, we see some pretty funny moments. Moments like this for an example…
Well this is what can happen when a bride is having fun and then wants to share her wedding cake with the guests and have a piece for herself.
A few minutes later her step mother came to help!
I love my German inheritance from my Dad. So many wonderful traditions started in this beautiful country of his and one of my favourites is the Paradise (Christmas) tree. The earliest accounts of decorating an evergreen tree at Christmas time were recorded in Germany and in Liovonia in the 15th & 16th century.
The main prop of a popular medieval play about Adam and Eve was a fir tree hung with apples (paradise tree) representing the Garden of Eden. The Germans set up a paradise tree in their homes on December 24, the religious feast day of Adam and Eve. They hung wafers on it (symbolizing the host, the Christian sign of redemption); in a later tradition, the wafers were replaced by cookies of various shapes. Candles, too, were often added as the symbol of Christ.
I love this time of the year leading up to Christmas. In fact I love it more than the actual day itself sometimes. Today the local Lion International Winmalee club volunteers were selling Christmas trees. This only happens one day a year so it is a pretty special event. Every year I have driven past these guys and I have always wanted to stop and take some photos but being a wedding photographer I was always too busy heading off to a wedding. Well today I had no wedding, so after having my ‘cafe affair’ with my wife (this is special time out, that my wife and I treasure away from our kids for an hour or two, to have a cappuccino together in one of our favourite cafes up at Springwood) I rushed back home to grab my camera and snapped a few shots. I ended up talking to the guys for a little while. They have been doing this community service since 1986 (funny enough the same year I established my photography business). In their younger days these men would get up very early on a Saturday morning at 4am and drive up to Oberon, a town which is high up in our beautiful Blue Mountains and cut down the pine trees and load the truck and be back down in Winmalee ready to sell that same morning. These old fellas were so devoted to their service to our community. It was so lovely to take time out to talk to them.
That looks amazing Peter – beautiful image!
Epic photos Peter!
