Bonnie and Paul – Avoca NSW Australia

Avoca Beach, on the Central Coast of NSW Australia, is where I grew up pretty much. I was a Nipper there for a few years, which rather than priming me for my future as an Iron Man really just gave me a distaste for sand and speedo’s.

It’s a beautiful area and thankfully Bonnie and Paul asked me to capture their wedding there, because it gave me a chance to exorcise those sandy-budgie-smuggling demons!

They had the ceremony at the Avoca Beach Theatre, which was just lovely.

I love this sequence. Paul is all like “That wave was close!”
