the salt marsh .......... sunshine coast wedding photographer

I loved doing this pretty shoot with the lovely Taylor on the boardwalk through the marsh leading to the beach.  As I was editing it, a poem from my childhood kept coming into my head .....


Overheard on a Saltmarsh



Nymph, nymph, what are your beads?

Green glass, goblin. Why do you stare at them?

Give them me.

No.

Give them me. Give them me.

No.

Then I will howl all night in the reeds,

Lie in the mud and howl for them.

Goblin, why do you love them so?

They are better than stars or water,

Better than voices of winds that sing,

Better than any man’s fair daughter,

Your green glass beads on a silver ring.

Hush, I stole them out of the moon.

Give me your beads, I want them.

No.

I will howl in the deep lagoon

For your green glass beads, I love them so.

Give them me. Give them.

No.




Harold Monro (1879 – 1932)

You can almost see the goblin hiding in the reeds ....

spanish inspiration ........... sunshine coast wedding photographer

A wedding shoot inspired by the orange and olive groves near Seville.

a cool garden oasis
the rhythmic splash of a fountain
a delicately embroidered Spanish shawl
the scent of orange blossom on the breeze
the distant hum of cicadas in the olive groves
a candlelit evening wedding feast under the trees
