Annaliese & Billy

01 / BEFORE THE PARK

Two houses, one morning.

Billy’s green jacket hangs above a bed
Shoes and wedding details laid out on a wooden floor
Billy and his friends squeezed onto the couch
Friends laugh on the couch in black and white
A dog waits for a treat
Portrait of the dog looking up
Billy buttons his white shirt in window light
Close-up of a jacket sleeve and cuff
Billy seated in a green jacket
Billy in side light with a green jacket
The dress hangs in a doorway beside a dark bedroom
Annaliese holds a child in the doorway
A close black-and-white photograph of makeup being applied
A child reaches towards the camera in black and white
Annaliese has her makeup done as a young guest watches
The wedding dress and accessories laid out on green timber
Annaliese laughs with one hand at her hair
Annaliese seated beside her flowers in white sunglasses

A clearing in the trees.

White chairs set out under trees in Darebin Parklands
Flowers beside a tree at the Darebin Parklands ceremony
Billy holds a child before the ceremony

Guests wait beneath the trees in black and white
A young guest comes down the grass aisle
The wedding procession walks between seated guests
Annaliese approaches Billy beneath the trees
The ceremony seen between the guests’ shoulders
Guests seated in the sun during the ceremony

03 / BACK AT THE HOUSE

The gate is open.

Open timber gate and wedding sign at the reception
Orange flowers on a table in the garden
Orange cocktails lined up in the late light
Hands pass a drink across the bar
A sofa and flowers on the verandah
The floral wedding cake on a small white table
A flower arrangement catches sunlight
A guitarist plays at the garden reception
Annaliese and Billy mingle with drinks in black and white
Two guests talk over drinks in black and white
Guests talk beneath the trees in the garden
Two guests sit together on the yellow sofa

04 / THE WETLANDS

Out of the garden.

The couple small in the landscape among gum trees
Annaliese and Billy walk hand in hand through dry grass
The couple stand close together in golden light
Billy and Annaliese together in a narrow patch of light
Billy sits while Annaliese stands in the dry grass
Black-and-white portrait in the tall grass
The couple walk away along a bush track
A bright black-and-white portrait of the couple leaning together
Sunlight flares between Annaliese and Billy in black and white
Annaliese lifts her hair while walking beside Billy
The couple walk among rocks into the low sun
Annaliese and Billy stand together against a dark background
The couple stand on rocks beside the creek
A wide portrait on a shadowed rocky bank
Close portrait of the couple in sunglasses after the light drops
Annaliese and Billy smile while walking in sunglasses

05 / THE EVENING

The lights come on.

Guests gather at the garden bar
Guests laughing as one holds up a phone
A guest speaks into a microphone in black and white
Annaliese smiling during the garden reception
The couple stand together with a child during the speeches
A guest speaks under a tree in black and white
The wedding crowd gathers under garden lights
Billy holds a child beside Annaliese during the speeches
Annaliese laughs with a microphone in hand in black and white
Guests laugh during speeches in black and white
Annaliese reads from a sheet beside Billy
Billy speaks into a microphone beside Annaliese
Annaliese and Billy embrace beneath the garden lights

06 / AFTER DARK

One last portrait.

Billy claps as the dancing begins
A guest dances with a child under coloured lights
Guests dance with hands raised in black and white
Billy on the dance floor against trails of light
Guests dance beneath pink lights
Annaliese and Billy close together under pink dance-floor light
Billy twirls Annaliese beneath coloured lights
A guest smiles in the middle of the dance floor
Guests talk beneath strings of lights after dark
The flower-covered cake at night
Annaliese and Billy in sunglasses in a lit doorway at night
