I recently got to catch up with Iain & Lauren for their e-session, ahead of their wedding in August. They chose the green surrounds of New Farm Park & the rustic Powerhouse, which will provide some diversity from their beach wedding photos.
In a word, these two are HOT! Look out for their wedding photos - they’re going to be steaming!!!
I have a standing appointment with Cohen & Aspen every year, as I’m friends with their Mum, Naomi. I was amazed last year in 2009 how much they had changed from the previous year, and this year was no exception. It is Aspen who has really grown into quite a young lady. But what hasn’t changed is they are still the sweetest and most well behaved kids in the world (even if Aspen was getting a little tired towards the end!).
This year Mum and Dad got in on the action with the kids…
Earlier this month I had the priviledge of shooting the wedding of a dear friend of mine, Konrad. I have known Konrad since before I was born, as his parents were the godparents of my twin sisters. We spent a lot of time together growing up, and I look at Konrad as the older brother I never had. He is a very special human being, and I was thrilled to be able to document their wedding day for them.
The ceremony was held at Broadway Chapel at Woolloongabba, and was officiated by the always professional Geoff Mazlin who did a lovely job of the service. As Konrad & Iris proceeded back down the aisle, they were joined by their beautiful daughter Emily who was all grown up acting as flowergirl!
We then tried to beat the rain and headed to the Kangaroo Point Cliffs, and then to Captain Burke Park for some photos, before we got over to Carina Leagues Club for the reception. As this was very much a family affair, both my Mum & Dad were there to celebrate, as well as my other half, Tony.
It was such a lovely day, and we were all very proud to help celebrate! xxx
It was two years ago that I was booked to go to Hamilton Island to shoot the vow renewal of a wonderful couple, Kevin & Kay. It was their daughter, Julianne, who arranged for me to be there to capture their day - and that week that her life changed forever.
It was up there, on Hamilton Island, where Julianne was celebrating with her family, that she met the man she would marry exactly two years later. I remember talking with Julianne on the island about being eternally single, and how things were never likely to change. The universe is a strange place sometimes.
Justin & Julianne tied the knot near their home at Currumbin on the Gold Coast. The day had a very easy-going, laid back, and party atmosphere which suited the couple down to the ground. They had both waited a long time for the right person to come along, and were going to celebrate in style.
We were graced with the perfect day, and the most unusual cloud formations I’d seen in a while. After the ceremony we headed out to the beach where there was the most gorgeous golden afternoon light. There was no shortage of laughs and jokes as everyone enjoyed the afternoon - even if the girls were a little cold.
It was back to the Currumbin RSL where we were invited to stay on and enjoy the nights festivities as real guests, with real seats, at a real table. It was quite the novelty (and a refreshing change from eating off your knees in a back room!!)
Thank you Justin & Julianne for including me as one of your family, and allowing me to help celebrate this wonderful occasion. xx
And here is the slideshow…
The lovely Vanessa joined me again to second shoot…
My friends Richard & Courtney held a naming day recently for their gorgeous little girl Lily. Friends and family gathered to celebrate Lily coming into the world, and to bestow upon Lily their wishes for her as a person, and her future. Lily wasn’t phased with all the attention, and talked the entire way through the ceremony, and even managed to throw up a little!
Courtney had the awesome Sarah-Jane from Cake That! make Lily’s first official cake…
I caught up with Andrew & Jo who I still see from time to time as we’re mutual friends of Courtney & Richard’s. They’ve since added the adorable Toby to their family…
I’ve known Konrad, or should I say Konrad has known me since before I was born - and a little over a week ago he and Iris tied the knot! More to come soon.
Evan & Claire are getting married this September, and on my mid-year break, I stepped out with them to shoot their e-session. We started the afternoon out in Teneriife, before finishing at the Power House just after dark.
Evan & Claire simply smoulder in front of the camera - and I can’t wait to see what their wedding day will bring!
