Johan and Frida only had five people attend their wedding serivce; themselves, the Minister, two witnesses the Minister brought along and me (the photographer).  You see Johan and Frida eloped to Sydney to get married, all the way from Sweden.

Sydney must be a ‘Go To Destination’ for weddings lately because VFM Photographers have been photographing many couples who have eloped to Sydney from Sweden, Norway, Japan and China.

On behalf of all of us here at VFM Photographers, I wish to congratulate Johan and Frida and wish them the very best for their future together.

Here are a couple of my favourite images (thank you Johan and Frida for allowing me to share them).

I can imagine as a bride and groom it can be frustrating to organise a wedding which is to be held over the Christmas holidays as most of Sydney shuts down during this time.

VFM Photographers will always have photographers working over the Christmas & New Year period in 2010 and the years to come.

For all couples saying ‘I Do’ this Christmas time, congratulations and have a wonderful wedding with your family and friends.

On behalf of everyone at VFM Photographers, I would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a happy & safe New Year.

Well you can and couples do!

Even though the main beach of Fairlight is really only visited by locals it can still get busy.  However there is a little secret area within Fairlight Beach and it is this little private area / beach that I like to photograph at.

This hidden gem of a beach is a wonderful spot for a wedding ceremony, wedding bridal party photography or a family portrait.

The slide show below will help you find this cute little Sydney beach.   Also included at the end of the slide show, are photographs taken at this exact spot.

Fairlight beach really is a magical spot within Sydney.

Hope you like it too.

Very quickly I realised that as a professional photographer, I won’t have long before my customers and their wedding guests realise that a professional photographer can take video as well as still photographs.  Why is this important to know?  Well I believe that for a short time I have an ability to take very candid video footage because my wedding clients would not be expecting me to take video from my normal looking professional SLR camera.  This of course allows me to capture and create something very special and unique for my wedding couples.

Paul & Kelly got married on the 26th of September at the Balmoral Beach rotanda.  Photographs were taken around Balmoral Beach then a quick stop over at the Sydney Opera House for some more wedding photographs.  Their reception was at Bavarian Beer Cafe at Fox Studios.

I wanted to surprise Paul & Kelly by capturing some footage of their reception and add it into their wedding slide show.  Paul & Kelly only expected to see their wedding photographs that I captured for them but were so excited and surprised when they saw actual video footage of the reception as well.

Paul & Kelly have been very kind to allow me to share their wedding slide show on the  Sarhn McArthur Photography Facebook profile. 

Thank you Paul & Kelly.

I thought for something different, I would upload a slide show of wedding photographs that I have taken over the years.  Some of the photographs are very recent, while others were taken a little while ago but as they are my favourites, I added them too.

I return to Australia and back in the office on the 3rd of December!

Hope you like the show!

There are two Churches in Lavender Bay.  Christ Church which is Anglican and St Francis Xavier with is Catholic.

For photography, a great spot is down by the water of Lavender Bay.  The entrance into the park can be hard to find from Lavender Street (if it is your first visit).  Also it is really important to know that many larger cars like limos will find it very hard to enter the park.  If you are wanting your photography to be captured at Lavender Bay, I always highly recommend my couples tell their wedding car company, that we are going to Lavender Bay.  Make sure they have checked out the entrance and small road leading down through the park, if they have not been there before!

I have put together a slide show of photographs captured at both Lavender Bay churches and photographs captured down by the water.

Usually I have only ever seen one or two other bridal parties down at Lavender Bay while I have been photographing.  However I have to be honest and say the last time I was photographing a wedding at Lavender Bay,  there would have been about eight other bridal parties having their photographs taken at the same time.  Lavender Bay isn’t as secret as it used to be years ago but if you visit, you will understand why the word has gotten out.

Lavender Bay is a gorgeous spot for a wedding!
