Archive for the ‘Wedding’ Category

The day before valentines day, in front of  family and friends, Casey and Owen declared their love for one another.  Casey and Owen were both very relaxed and laid back, enjoying their day, suit jackets and ties were left at home, Casey kicked off her heels once the ceremony was over. Their wedding was their own, unique to them, which makes their day even more special. We had our fingers crossed for good weather, the weather forecast had predicated rain, then just thunder storms and the back to rain, so things were not looking good. The day started off with rain but thankfully it cleared up and stay away right until we were just finishing up and heading to the reception.

Thank you Owen and Casey for sharing your day with me, it was an honor to capture it.

Workshop Fun

January 24, 2010

Last week I attended my first photography workshop, I learnt so much and I met so many great photographers. It was so much fun and I am looking forward to attending more workshops in the future. It was great meeting other like minded people, talking photography and sharing ideas!

I was super excited to be attending this particular workshop as it was being held by Jasmine Star! I have been following Jasmine’s blog for sometime and I was excited when the workshop was first announced, I hesitiated about going and by the time I had made up my mind the workshop was sold out. Thankfully Jasmine decided to hold a second workshop, when I recieved the email letting me know I didn’t risk missing out a second time and booked straight away. It was inspiring to hear Jasmine’s story, where she has come from and how she got to where she is now.  I love seeing how other people shoot, I was looking forward to seeing Jasmine in action and seeing how she captures such emotion in her photos and she did not disappoint!

I was a pleasure meeting Jasmine and JD, they are both very down to earth people.

The workshop was hosted the Cathy Crawley who did an amazing job bringing all the details together. The workshop was held at the beautiful crusie resturant, with a stunning view over the Sydney Harbour. The Dresses where provided by Catherine Colubriale, hair and makeup from Lyndal Quinn-Tuccarone and the flowers were by Daisy Chain Florist.

We had some awesome models, first up is Kara

We also had Alana and Karim modeling for us, they are such a cute couple and were such good sports about having a bunch of cameras pointed at them.

Rich: Very Nice. Great Colors!

Nikki and Kevin exchanged vows on the 4th October 2009 in a very touching ceremony. Their ceremony was unique in that it was not just a union of two people, but the joining of two families and the ceremony included their boys in every aspect. We were lucky that the rain held off for us, giving us a few minutes to get some shots outside by the waterfront.
