Ainsley & Nathan

We had a great e-session today at Shelly Beach with Ainsley & Nathan. Ainsley is like a little dynamo and we were jumping all over the place to take photos, which is cool.
We got so many funky images, here is a preview.


Awww ...

Cute ...

Fortunately we share a quirky sense of humour :-)

Why shoot at the beach when there is a perfectly good carpark :-)

Check it out, these are actually their respective birthyears.

Liz & Rob

Most excellent wedding, the guys getting ready at home.
Getting dressed is a group effort.
These have got to be the most beautiful bridesmaids dresses, the work on them is exquisite.
Oh yeah, Liz is absolutely gorgeous. Liz was getting ready at the Park Hyatt.
Rob and his mates looking surprisingly relaxed. The church, St Peter Chanel at Hunters Hill is one of those lovely old catholic sandstone churches.
For some it's just another day at the church
"Angelina bella"
She is the cutest flowergirl...and she knows it.
On a hot day like yesterday, it seemed like a good idea to stop at the pub for a drink and some photos.
Photography is all about the light; finding the light and playing with it is a powerful way to create dramatic images. This was shot in the staircase at the pub, where the light was streaming through a window. Well I like it anyway.
Same staircase, less dramatic use of light, but using the shapes and geometry to create some interest. Of course Liz and Rob don't look half bad either.
Again, using light and shapes. Not that the image needs it, when the couple is so into each other.
The Quay Restaurant has the most amazing views, on one side you look over at the Harbour Bridge, and on the other side you overlook the Opera House.

Great wedding,

A ghostly reflection

Kat & Damon

Thursday was one hot Sydney day, and Kat and Damon are one hot couple. I think the images speak for themselves.

During the shoot Kat asked me what I like about shooting weddings, and my response was the variety, always shooting something new in a different and unique way. This session is a good example, check out how much variety we got shooting in just one location.


I am so looking forward to this wedding :-)

Don't forget to check out the sideshow from this session.

Mel & Pete e-session

We kicked the shoot off at Mel & Pete's place.

Christmas was only a couple of weeks ago, so I wanted to incorporate some of the tree, as well as play with the funky light cast by the blinds.

This is a Mel & Pete original artwork so I just had to include it.

Heading down to Carrs Park.

OK, so it actually turned out to be a self portrait :-)

This is just a test...

Virginia & Michael

Last wedding for this year; and what a great wedding to finish it off!
The wedding was relaxed, elegant and even the predicted thunderstorms stayed away.

Virginia is having a moment before heading out with the girls.

The ceremony was held at the chapel at Michael's old school, Saint Ignatius' College, Riverview. Virgina has just arrived and is walking into the parlour with her Mum and bridesmaids.
If Michael was nervous he didn't show it, and the priest was giving Michael a running commentary as to what was happening outside. And in all fairness, Virginia was only a couple of minutes late.
Following the ceremony we went back to the parlour to regroup and take a couple of group shots.

Some details, the work on Virginia's dress was gorgeous and I love those flowers. All very elegant.

Riverview College has it's own jetty, from there we cought a water taxi to Circular Key. From here we walked to the Museum of Contemporary Arts, stopping occasionally for some photos. As always, I am looking for unusual angles and non-boring images :-)

The reception was held at the Museum of Contemporary Arts at Circular Key.


Happy New Year everyone!
