Australia Post selected our images!!!

This is so cool
I am sure all you people in wedding-planning land know that Australia Post produces a Wedding stamp booklet as part of their "special occasions" philatelic range. Each booklet contains five stamp pages and 10 pages of text and illustration relating to the stamp theme, in this case weddings.

The market for these booklets is couples wanting to use relevantly themed stamps for their wedding invitations and thank you notes.

Well the scoop is that the next edition which is due out next year will feature our wedding pics on the 50c and $1 booklets.

This is a huge honor for us to have our images featured in the booklets. It obviously means we are doing something right to be recognized in such a way.

We asked Australia Post what it is about our images that made them suitable for publication.
Hilary from the Philatelic group replied:

As for why Australia Post chose your images, it is because your approach is
fresh, stylish and engaging, and you capture some superbly candid moments.
While technically and compositionally the photographs are stunning, you also
read your subjects well and use their actions and the environment to
illuminate their particular style and character.


So there you have it; we are ecstatic and honored, humbled and overjoyed by her kind words.

Most of all we are grateful to our brides who trust us and let us capture great images on their wedding day.

Here are some of the pictures that will appear on the booklets.
