Dylan Kovacevic, Black Summer (Wedding: Single Shot)

Tiff and Sean stand amongst the devastated sugar pines in the Bago State forrest, where they were engaged and planned to be married. Like so many couples during the summer of 2019-20, their wedding plans were disrupted by fire. Rather than postpone, it was Tiff’s mum, a local, who felt that a celebration was just what everyone needed to take their minds off the devastation. For us, this wedding symbolised the township’s determination to fight and bounce back. We hope our images contribute to the regrowth that was emerging so quickly after the fires swept through.
