Natalie & Paul

Congratulations to Natalie & Paul who married at St.Christopher's cathedral on a really hot summer day in January. It was a terrifically fun wedding to shoot. The first photos are of Paul's special wedding present - a gorgeous IWC Swiss watch (I'm so jealous Paul). The photo shoot was around Boy's Grammar and the National Portrait Gallery. They had a huge bridal party to co-ordinate (hence the stretch Hummer!) but everyone gave it their all despite the heat and we got some great fun shots. The page boys deserve a special mention as they always managed to look adorable no matter what they were doing!

Kelly & Simon

A beautiful wedding out at Poachers Panty, congratulations to Kelly & Simon. We had lots of fun with your parasols! Most unusual cake I've seen - a cheese cake, no, not  a traditional cheesecake, one actually made out of different cheeses!

Naomi & Brett - Southern Highlands

As you can see from the photos this was another very fun wedding despite the fact that it was misty, foggy and pouring with rain for most of the day. This is very typical weather for Robertson were Naomi & Brett got married. Their ceremony & reception was at the Fountaindale manor.

Naomi & Brett are both outdoor adventure types so they were determined to get some outdoor photos regardless of the weather. They particularly enjoy rock climbing hence the photos scaling the fire escape and the photos of the gorgeous rock walls on the Macquarie Pass. We also went to the Illawarra Fly for some shots among the tree tops. The mist just added such a beautiful atmosphere to the photos. The operators were so surprised to see us (even though we'd booked) in this weather they let us in for free!

Niluka & Chamath - Part 2

For those of you who follow this blog you may remember some photos of Niluka & Chamath form January last year. They divided their wedding into two parts, the first being the "Aussie" wedding and this part the more traditional Sri Lankan wedding. Here are the photos from part 2 shot at Boy's Grammar, Mt.Stromlo & Hotel Realm.

Julia & Shane

This wedding was a delightful afternoon spent at Poacher's Pantry. A vey nice relaxed affair with a country feel. Good food, great couple & beautiful surroundings....Congratulations Julia & Shane.

Alison & Damien

Congratulations to Alison & Damien. Married at God Creek Chapel. Footy Fanatics. Mustang tragics.

Emma & Joel

This was (unexpectedly) one of the funnest weddings of the year. I was a bit worried how it would go as when I first met Emma last year she was quite shy and reserved. But not on her wedding day! We had a ball. After getting ready at the Hotel Realm we went to the ceremony at Duntroon chapel. A feature of the ceremony was a dove release which we got great photos of - doves are notoriously very hard to shoot! Our first location was the old derelict tennis courts at Duntroon which I thought made a fabulously different and textured backdrop.

Emma plays the piano so we chose two locations to get some piano shots for her. After the success of the photo shoot at Knightsbride bar earlier in the year (See blog entry for Marijana & Anthony) I thought that would be one good location as I remembered they had an old piano. And we also used the baby grand at the Hyatt later on. Next it was off to where they first met at the ANU Gym where we had fun playing with the gym balls and weights. We also re-enacted the aerobics class where Joel first eyed Emma! Then we did some photos in Glebe Park to feature the cars and finally it was off to the Parlour Bar at New Acton. Before we went inside I noticed some gorgeous lavender in full flower that I just had to make use of. The reception was at the War Memorial. Congratulations Emma & Joel. Thank you for being such great models and for such a wonderful day. 

 

Lauren & James

Well back from holidays.... wow, they went really quick! So much work to catch up on including lots of blogging. First up is the delightful couple Lauren & James who were married at Holy Trinity in Curtin. James parents are our neighbours in Barton and you couldn't ask for better neighbours. So it was an absolute delight to have the privilege of shooting their sons wedding.We shot around Dunrossil Drive, Lennox Gardens, The John Curtin School at ANU, and in some grass at the side of the road near their reception at the Commonwealth Club!
