It’s been quite some time since I’ve posted on here (almost 10 months, in fact). Anyway, a couple of months ago, I shot the wedding of Tara and Tom, with my old friend, Jason (Adagio Photography). Jason did all the formalities and main shooting, while I spent the day capturing some candids. 

Tara and Tom’s ceremony was held in the gardens of Lochiel House in north-west Sydney. Following this, Jason and I shot photos of the couple on a beautiful property down the road before returning to Lochiel House for the reception. 

Below are some of my favourite photos from the day. 

I’m no wedding photographer, but I was honoured to have been asked to shoot the wedding of Rachel and Jon. Taking place a few days before Christmas, the wedding was held at Marrickville Town Hall in the inner west of Sydney. The beautiful ceremony was followed by an eclectic evening of Lebanese food, African and Jamaican music, and one of the best dance floors I’ve seen.    

We returned to Tokyo for the last leg of our trip. For the first two nights, Jess and I stayed at a traditional Japanese-style inn (a ryokan) in the district of Asakusa. 

Asakusa was quite traditional compared to the other places we’d stayed in, but was extremely touristy with all the typical souvenir shops selling their bits and pieces.  

We made the trip to DisneySea in Urayasu, where we spent the day mostly standing in lines (but enjoying a few rides too). It felt strange, but also a little refreshing, not having my camera with me for the day.

For our last two nights, Jess and I stayed at a lovely hotel in the area of Chiyoda. 

Akihabara, an area famous for its electronic, anime and manga shops, was first on our list. We had a really strange experience at a maid cafe during our visit. 

We also went to Ginza, an upmarket district home to expensive shops, restaurants and entertainment establishments. 

Particular highlights included two exhibitions in the district of Ueno: ‘Marcel Duchamp and Japanese Art’ at the Tokyo National Museum, and ‘Munch: A Retrospective’ at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum. Both were extensive and really interesting. 

Our last morning in Japan was spent at the bustling Tsukiji Fish Market.
