Peter and Jodie's Newfarm Park wedding

On an October morning in Newfarm families gathered from across the globe to celebrate Peter and Jodie’s union. It was the best weather, great styling, a cheerful crowd and a beautiful couple. I asked Peter and Jodie for a few words about what I did on the day and the shared this!

Josh’s manner was professional and friendly from our first encounter with him prior to our wedding. Josh has a natural ability to connect with people due to his desire to know their story. He was able to immediately put us and our guests at ease by speaking quietly with us and then addressing our guests all throughout the ceremony. Josh is a natural public speaker and spoke freely from the heart with passion and warmth. He ‘went with flow’ with ease as our toddler unexpectedly wanted to be ‘up front and centre’ with us during the exchanging of rings. He was the perfect celebrant for our wedding day and set the tone for our whole day – relaxed and joyous. We highly recommend Josh to anyone who would like a similar atmosphere at their wedding or any occasion requiring an empathetic and heartfelt celebrant.

The venue is Newfarm Park, down by the water from the rotunda, romantically called “Area 2” by the council. Photography by Stacey Schramm Photography.

: Matt & Lee in Geiranger. I knew I wanted to take this photo of Lee and I on our wedding day months before we were even in the country. Considering we had a tripod weighed down on the edge of a cliff to photograph us, also on the edge of a cliff, we didn’t do too badly! This photo has some wow factor and I like to give all of my clients that, cliff or not.

: I spent many years photographing musicians from Nick Cave, Iggy Pop, Muse and lots of other big names. One of the shots that most resonates with people however is of the feet of punk dancers at a terribly lit punk gig. It’s an incredibly simplistic shot that breaks all the boundaries in music. I was crouching in the first row with people jumping all over me. I turned around and took this shot. It was the first music assignment I was sent by a magazine to cover.

: Jokulsarlon, Iceland. My wife and I traveled throughout Iceland after getting married in Norway. It was the most creatively fulfilling place I have ever been, and I am not sure that a place has ever excited me or made me feel as alive as Iceland did. It really is an immensely beautiful place that calls for me every day!
