Snow White

Then the Queen was shocked, and turned yellow and green with envy. From that hour, whenever she looked at Snow-white, her heart heaved in her breast, she hated the girl so much.
And envy and pride grew higher and higher in her heart like a weed, so that she had no peace day or night. She called a huntsman, and said, “Take the child away into the forest; I will no longer have her in my sight. Kill her, and bring me back her heart as a token.” The huntsman obeyed, and took her away; but when he had drawn his knife, and was about to pierce Snow-white’s innocent heart, she began to weep, and said, “Ah, dear huntsman, leave me my life! I will run away into the wild forest and never come home again.”
And as she was so beautiful the huntsman had pity on her and said, “Run away, then, you poor child.” “The wild beasts will soon have devoured you,” thought he, and yet it seemed as if a stone had been rolled from his heart since it was no longer needful for him to kill her. And as a young boar just then came running by he stabbed it and cut out its heart and took it to the Queen as a proof that the child was dead. The cook had to salt this, and the wicked Queen ate it, and thought she had eaten the heart of Snow-white.

Pre-wedding at Barongarook

Tomorrow I get to photograph James and Anette's wedding at their home in Barongarook, near Colac, so I thought I'd better get hopping and actually post their pre-wedding images! I always have so much trouble selecting my favourites! Their young son George was just so very cute, I always love when couples have a child who gets to share in this amazing day with their parents as well, it makes it so very special for all involved.

The weather here is so all over the place at the moment, fingers crossed we don't get rain! Overcast would be great, but not rain for an outdoor wedding. Here's hoping! I know it's going to be a wonderful wedding though; they have Nettie Hulme as their celebrant, and Anette's family are coming over from Finland for the occasion too. They were such a fun couple at the pre-wedding session - so relaxed and fun to be around, so I'm very much looking forward to creating some great memories for them!
