Northam Wedding

Northam is a country centre 100kms east north east of Perth in the beautiful Avon Valley. Two weeks ago I went there to assist Chris Brown [Small Package Films] in photographing Benella & Greg’s wedding.

Absolute fabulous day. Touch of cloud that became a beautiful diffuser as the afternoon went on. Just what any photographer will order for some outside park photos down by the Avon River.

Great bit about this wedding was that the guys were ready to go for the pics when I arrived. That was awesome guys. This meant a relaxing opportunity to get some photos without being too rushed. So I’m mainly going to show pics of the guys,… and maybe tomorrow a few of the amazing 1929 Vintage cars tooooo - courtesy of our lovely bride’s grandfather. And it’s true, even for Granddad’s, that a guy has to have his toys :-). Of course, just to even it up I might throw in some of the colour that the ladies added!

Felicity & Brant Romance Shoot

Well now this is what we call “putting the horse before the cart!” . Yesterday some wedding shots and tonight some from their prewedding Romance session. But there’s a very good reason. I didn’t get home til close to 10pm tonight - budgets and forecasts from the day job! So these were already set to go. That said we had an absolute ball taking these. Hope you enjoy them.

a couple of pics then if you want to see more click on the link “2“.

Don’t go away yet … heaps more fabulous photos if you click on the Read More>> tag below

Brant & Felicity’s Rainy Day Wedding

Never had a rainy day wedding before. I mean a really wet rainy day wedding. But this one was. 24th May was going to be fine,… at least thats what the forecast said a week before. Then come Tuesday onwards the prediction was R.A.I.N. with a capital R. So Friday I spent 4 or 5 hours making sure all the potentially wet weather photo venues were going to be good. And heaps of people were praying for fine weather.

Well it rained. Lots. But you know the only time got even the slightest bit damp was down in Victoria Gardens. Took shelter under a smallish gazebo. And got this photo. Looks great in colour too but I like the old skool sepia

What a fabulous couple. And what an amazing bride. You know I reckon I have been blessed with all the brides who have such beautiful personality. Just take Felicity [now don't get literal about things - she's married now]. I reckon Brant will wake up in about a years time and it will suddenly really hit home what an awesome wife he has!

Anyway they just took it in their stride and when the rain cleared a tad out we went and we got this one. Don’t ya just love it! And I didn’t have to work hard with those happy faces.

And finally a little detail shot of the bride’s bouquet.

Maybe next week a few more. But for now just a sneak peek at what’s to come. Tomorrow a couple of shots from a wedding I was second shooter with Chris Brown.

Photos Photos Photos

I love creating photos. Lots of them. Often. And photoblogs are designed to show photos. Lots of them. Often. Sadly my photoblog has been through a drought.

BUT THE GOOD NEWS is that I have been taking heaps of photos.  Two weddings on my own and several I’ve shot with Chris Brown of Small Package Films.  He’s a great photographer - very consistent in his output.  Shooting with him is really giving me the opportunity to see things from a different perspective.

So this last month I’ve been processing them as fast as I can. So my June 15th resolution is to try to put up at least 10 new posts over the next 15 days.

So today’s post is a few more from the Gingin wedding of Melissa and Sean. And I’ve got 3 more weddings to blog that are in the processing stage. So here goes.

Melissa has an awesome smile - just completely lights up her face. She must have some inbuilt batteries that never run dry!!! This pic was just moments before she walked down the “aisle”.

And not everyone thinks taking photos is a ball of fun

Nonetheless he was great whenever we asked him to participate. And in the end that’s what really matters.

Fig Tree Photography

Do you love great kids photos? I must admit I really enjoy taking pics of young kids as they grow.

Well here’s a new blog to keep an eye on. Nils has launched her blog for Fig Tree Photography this weekend. She’s a young mum with an almost 1 year old bub. And she has a fabulous eye for a photo. Launched her business in North Perth.

Can’t believe how well she is doing. But as I said,… she has a natural eye for a creative pic. Go check out Nil’s blog and link to the rss feature to keep an eye out for some great developments.

Here’s a pic I took of her and bub about 9 months ago - must put up some of her and hubby that I took about 4 or 5 weeks ago. They are a fabulous couple.
