Araluen Wedding | Ruth and Mark

I recently had the pleasure of photographing Ruth and Mark's wedding at the picturesque Araluen Botanic Park.

Since I did not have any weddings booked for the weekend, I took the opportunity to second shoot for Matt from Allora Photography. I used the wedding to experiment with my shiny new tilt-shift lens and to try out some new ideas. A big thank you to Matt for the invitation to second shoot :)

Here's a few of the photos I took, on my 90TSE tilt shift lens. The full wedding blog is available on www.alloraphotography.com.au
