JOHN + MONIKA . MARRIED. SYDNEY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

john — Mon, 10 Dec 2012 21:56:42 +0000

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm’d;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm’d;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.

Two of the nicest people I know. John & Monika’s awesome wedding was a celebration of love and family and I loved every minute of it. Thanks to Michelle Fiona for second shooting.
