Well, despite my hopes and promises, I was not able to blog our honeymoon while in Sydney. Needless to say, I returned home with several hundred images to go through and edit and I have finally finished! We had an amazing time in Sydney despite two thins: Chris got a pretty nasty cold on day two of the trip, which kept us inside for a day and a half; and when we arrived we discovered that World Youth Day was being hosted in Sydney, which meant the city was full of the pope and 2,000 young Catholics. Now, I have nothing against Catholics or the pope, we just weren’t prepared for that kind of dynamic so it was a bit jarring at first. But, I have to admit they did make our trip more interesting. Everywhere we went there were huddled masses of twenty-somethings from all over the world singing, banging drums and dancing.
I’ve decided to post a few of my favorite images below. After the last image you will notice a link to a slide show of even more of my favorites. Another thing you’ll notice is that many, many, many of the photos include an animal of some kind. I’m not usually so inspired to take animal photos, but we saw a lot of them on our trip and they were all so adorable, I couldn’t resist!
Enjoy!

Well, we made it! It is currently 5:00 on a Sunday morning here in Sydney and Chris and I are wide awake and ready to go explore. Problem is, it’s still pitch black outside, so we’re trying to kill some time with bad Australian television and $25 per day Internet access. The cost of the latter activity means that I probably won’t be updating photos daily like I had originally planned, which is super disappointing.
So, if you don’t hear from me until our return, that will be why. I plan on taking a gazillion pictures so at the very least I’ll have tons to update with when we get back! For now, here is something I snapped with my point-and-shoot during our layover in Fiji yesterday.
G’day!
Well, the big day I’ve been waiting for has come and gone. Chris and I were married on Friday, July 4th, and I am now Mrs. Heidi Ryder. I now get why they call it “wedded bliss,” because I couldn’t be happier!
Tonight we take off for our honeymoon to Australia so I won’t be posting any client photos, but I promise to post as many as I can of our trip over the course of the next week. I am so excited I could just squeee! SQUEEEEE!!
Please keep checking back here! I’ll also be available via email so don’t hesitate to contact me for booking and rate information–I’ll be itching to work when I get back!
xo,
Heidi Ryder
