Photo of the day #101 - Caitlin at/under Wombelano Falls - Photo by Michael Krilic Today was an interesting day. I had the honour of photographing Caitlin & Ben on their wedding day one year and one week ago. This session was planned for their first anniversary but the weather decided that was not going to happen.
So today myself, Caitlin, Ben, Adam & Tam (my usual assistants) and Michael Krilic (who took the photo above) risked life and limb to scale down and then up and then down extremely steep terrain to reach the base of Wombelano Falls.
To say we left the beaten track is an understatement. Caitlin & Ben had prepped us to believe that the hike would be “challenging”. The challenge caused one assistant to have to return to the car for the duration of the shoot (having sustained a injury in the during the descent), nearly drowned another and took all the courage and fortitude possessed by the third to get back up the gully after the session was complete. Not only was the terrain enough of a challenge, but to negotiate it whilst carrying the required equipment and wedding clothing made it all the difficult.
Was it all worth it? In the post shoot discussions we all agreed it was. Actually when we got down to the base of the falls we decided it was, knowing fully well the difficult nature of the return journey.
Overall a fun shoot with a fun couple and crew. Keep an eye out for the odd sneak peak between upcoming wedding posts.
Thank you all who came along today for your help, laughter and determination to do what needed to be done. You all made me very proud to be part of such an amazing day.
