Backstreet wedding



Walking through the backstreets of an old part of town I came upon a wedding being photographed, I always like taking side shots of occasions like this, some of the official party looked like they had enough - like the flowergirl. They were all speaking Spanish, I thought they might have been tourists, but when I asked for permission to take a photograph someone answered in a broad Australian accent: 'Go for your life.'

  3. At the back of Susannah Place. I love that step, the old door and the choko vine.

  5. How fun! That first image is great, love how you captured the flowergirl with her fed-up expression!
    To answer your question, I know Dominic (from my post). Although I am considering participating in flickr's 100 Strangers project.

  6. Small world. Julie recognised the location and I recognised the wedding party. I saw them getting out of a car at The Rocks on Saturday and noticed how alike the bride and her mother looked.

    Jim, I didn't even notice, I will have to look at my photos more closely.

  8. I was wondering why people would be having photos taken in the back street but now it has been revealed as the Rocks I understand.

    I like the inclusion of the bored flower girl.

  10. It looks like a popular spot for photographers. It has that old world look about it. An instant studio.

  11. I thought that looked like Susannah Place. What an unusual spot for wedding photos. I saw a wedding party from the roof of the Glenmore, wonder if it was them.
