Today, since its the beginning of a new month, I’m starting a new weekly series - every Monday I'll be introducing you to the people behind some of the wedding + events services around Albany. First cab-off the-rank is Wignalls Winery, as I am still on a high from Saturday’s wedding.
On the weekend, my brother and I shot a gorgeous, very classy wedding. I’d never taken photos at Wignalls before (aside from snapshots at Wingall’s renown summer events), and so I was completely blown away by the variety of stunning photo opportunities there, especially at the “Golden Hour”. This is what we “photogs” call the magical light we only get for the last hour before the sun disappears. Can't wait to share the photos from Stephen + Flick's wedding!
We were literally running from one location to another (complete with a very obliging bride in high-heels). Avenues of eucalypts, rows of vines, fresh round hay-bales, a glowing granite-walled cellar, clumps of tall pines with dappled light… you name it, we had it! I had a chat with Claire and Rob Wignall, the hard-working duo behind it all..
