Renee & Steven's Engagement Shoot

This afternoon I went out to shoot Renee and her fiance Steven. I have photographed Renee before with her parents and sister so I was thrilled when she asked me to do her engagement photos. Steven and Renee met when Renee was working as "Alice in Wonderland"at Disneyland Asia and fell madly in love. They plan on a wedding on the gorgeous island of Boracay in the Philippines next year, where Steven is from. They were so cute together and obviously in love and Steven was such a sweetie, he wouldn't let me carry my camera bag. What a gentleman! Reminds me of my very own SNAG and husband Steven!

Jodie & Mike's Wedding

Yesterday I had the pleasure of capturing Jodie & Mike's wedding. They are such a nice couple, they are down to earth and very layed back so being around them is such a pleasure. These guys organised their wedding in only 6 weeks, which I think was amazing considering just how much goes into planning a wedding! The wedding took place in the backyard that Jodie grew up in, under a favourite gum tree with family and friends looking on.

Jodie and I grew up in the same rural town outside of Sydney, went to the same primary school and high school yet we didn't know eachother. Our families did, and they had friends in common, so when we realised this past history that we shared we had so much to talk about it was like we had been old friends!

Here are a few photos that caught my eye as I was downloading their images earlier tonight. Jodie and Mike, I hope you have a wonderful honeymoon!















How sweet is this light!




I loved this cake! I have done weddings with cakes like these before but these little people are the cutest by far!

A gorgeous Day After Session

Leanne and Sandro got married a little while ago, and although the loved their wedding they were not completely happy with the wedding photos that their photographer had taken. So, we went out today and did a "Day After Session". Many of you wouldn't have heard about these sessions before (they are huge overseas). Basically you get dressed up again and take the kind of photos you didn't have time to do on the day. I think its a fantastic idea and I am giving my brides & grooms the choice of a complimentary "Day After Session" or an "Engagement Session" with 2 of my Wedding Packages.

Anyway, I wanted to show Leanne & Sandro's love and adoration for one another in a sexy and romantic kind of way. Here are some of my favourites from their session taken at "The Rocks" Sydney.

End of an Era

I recently did a family photo session for a family who were about to move, they had sold their home of many years but wanted some lasting portraits on the family property. Here are a few of the photos from the weekend.

Why does Custom Photography cost so much?

This is a very good question. This industry has a lot of "backyard photographers", they are the ones who think they can make a few quick bucks and start shooting weddings, they charge very low and usually burn out very quickly. These type of photographers bring the industry down as they don't produce a quality product. Also, there are a lot of "Supermarket Photographers" out there as well who suck you in with a $10 photo shoot offer only to charge heavily for prints. I came across this very well written article explaining the cost of "Custom Portraiture". It is well worth the read! Have a look at the article on this blog

Jon English

This afternoon I went into town and did some new photos for the multi talented Jon English. He is going on tour shortly and was after some photos for his posters and his website. You can see his website here were you can get details of his upcoming shows and events. Jon is a legend in Australia so I was very pleased to work with him, if you can get along to one of his shows you really should go!

Another session with Belinda Gosbee

You might remember that last year I did some photos for the stunning actress Belinda Gosbee. Well, today we did it again, but this time Belinda was back to her blonde hair. Not one to conform, {Belinda likes to shake things up a bit which is probably why I like her so much} she wanted some edgy photos for her website. We did some basic headshots and then had a bit of a play around in downtown Sydney. At the end of the session along came this amazing storm cloud which I couldn't resist capturing, thankfully we got back to my car in the nick of time otherwise we would have been caught out in a very nasty hail and thunder storm which hit seconds after getting back to the carpark!

Here are a few shots so far.

For these photos I was actually lying down in the middle of the road in the hub of Sydney, talk about going to any lengths to get a good shot!
