Late last year I blogged about Kate and Ricky’s wedding at the Villa Botanica in Airlie Beach. I was talking to Todd Hunter McGaw last week and he mentioned he had a wedding coming up at the same venue. It reminded me there was more to tell than I had previously posted. The groom was Ricky Megee which probably doesn’t ring a bell but it should. His story is staggering.
There is his book “Left for Dead” for the details, but basically he gave a lift to some people in the outback and after sharing a drink with them, wakes up in a shallow rock covered grave.
How he managed to survive being lost for 3 months on the edge of the desert without shoes or hat and nothing to drink or eat except what he can find, makes him a legend!, Yet this feat of brains and will power is virtually unknown .
Bear is good, but Ricky is the real thing!

Before things get too busy again I want put up some weddings from a while ago. This one was eighteen months ago and Christie and Jeremy had popped over from Dubai to get married in Byron Bay. They told me they didn’t want to spend all day smiling for the camera or posing but wanted to spend most of their time having fun. That sounded perfect to me.
It’s the second time I’ve posted photographs at the Byron Bay Lighthouse and it won’t be the last. It’s always different.
The wedding was at the Byron Bay Beach Resort which is now mothballed (as a wedding venue) and we got to the lighthouse just before sunset on a cloudy afternoon. A glider soared in the chilly updraft off the Capes’ 120 meter high cliff face, along with the bridesmaids’ hemlines. As the soft blue light faded the glider sailed back across the bay to Tyagarah airfield and we headed off to the reception.

As wedding photography is supposed to be about capturing memories I thought I’d test that again and show Georgie and Graeme’s wedding from early in 2007. The original plan was for them to travel with family and friends to Byron Bay from Melbourne. A few months out that plan was reversed and I ended up going down there. Not quiet Melbourne but across Port Philip Bay on the Bellarine Peninsula at Queenscliffe and a glorious winery called Spray Farm.

Whilst on the subject of Coorabella, a few years ago I was there with Kate and Sam on their wedding day. At sunset a comet appeared in the western sky and a finger moon not quite over head; a cosmic event that was magic.
