Rebecca and Matt - K and S Wedding

2010-01-13T22:48:00.005+11:00

This is my first wedding for 2010 - well, it was a K and S Wedding which means that Kelly and I teamed up. A wonderful way to start the year, a beautiful couple, great bridal party, interesting family members and a love sick butterfly (it fell in love with Brit one of the bridesmaids).

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

2009-12-24T16:07:00.002+11:00

To all my wonderful couples who allowed me to share their most important day and to all the families who invited me to capture a slice of their lives - thank you all so much.

I greatly enjoyed working with you all and wish you the very best for Christmas and the New Year.

Looking forward to another fantastic year. Hugs to you all.

Emily and Stu

2009-12-22T17:26:00.007+11:00

What can I say!! This was my last wedding for 2009 and I was very lucky to be sharing the day with two amazing people - Emily and Stu. Our theme was relaxed and fun and that's exactly what we did. You could feel the love between the two of them and it was a pleasure to capture some of that love in photographs.

Katrina and Ching

2009-12-22T16:37:00.008+11:00

An amazing wedding that was full of laughter and happiness. We started the day with the tradtional tea ceremonies and then had fun on the photo shoot before the ceremony at Old Parliament House Gardens.

Dominique and Mark

2009-12-22T16:22:00.008+11:00

We had an amazing day. The weather was spot on and the 3 boys helped make it a fun day as we wandered around the Kingston Railway Museum. It was wonderful to see Mark's family from the UK share the day with them and you could easily see the close connections within the family. Thank you for allowing me to be apart of the day.

Kellie and Ryan - Narooma Golf Course

2009-11-26T14:10:00.009+11:00

Narooma is an amazing place to have a wedding. The weather was fantastic with some stormy clouds floating around later in the day. Kellie and Ryan's boys were so cute in their little suits and were a bit bewildered by all the people paying them heaps of attention during the day. It was a day of firsts, I had the most mums and dads ever in a family photo!! And Kellie and Ryan's wedding was made even more special as a whale decided to do back flips during the ceremony - Kellie was very excited. You can see the whale (small) in one of the photos.
We had great fun down on the beach and then over at the fish and chip shop for some muck around photos there and on the play equipment.

Chapel Photographers Mentoring Shoot

2009-11-26T12:55:00.001+11:00

The amazing Anita and Clint allowed us to have them as our attractive models for the second mentoring/training shoot for Chapel. Kelly and I passed on some of the things we have learnt over the years and everyone had the opportunity to try things that are a bit harder to organise on the actual wedding day. Shortly Kelly and I will be starting a more formalised mentoring/training course for anyone interested in improving their skills.

Rosa and Peter Engagement Shoot

2009-11-20T11:43:00.000+11:00

Rosa and Pedro didn't have any photos of both of them together, so we had to fix that.

Olivia and David - November 09

2009-11-19T21:54:00.006+11:00

Wow, what an emotional day, there wasn't a dry eye in the place during the speeches. Made it hard to focus the camera! David was famous for his lack of dancing skills but he wowed them all with his finally polished moves which he rehearsed during the day. A fun filled day.

Nathalie and Chris

2009-11-17T15:33:00.006+11:00

We started out at the Hyatt Hotel in Canberra and then off to Commonwealth Park for the ceremony. On the way Nathalie had to deal with some over excited Japanese tourists who wanted their photo with her! The weather was perfect so we were able to get some fantastic shots in the Gardens and then off for some quick shots with the beautiful old Jags.

Janelle and Lang - Canberra Wedding

2009-11-15T22:40:00.006+11:00

Our flower girls and page boy were so much fun and very cute! A perfect day at the Canberra Yacht Club for the ceremony and then some shots with Lang's much loved scooter before we visited the National Portrait Gallery and then off to Grazing for the reception.

Patricia and Ali - Saint Johns Church Canberra

2009-11-15T22:29:00.006+11:00

Well, this is the biggest bridal party I have had the pleasure of spending a wonderful day with. We had 20 people - 6 bridesmaids, 6 groomsmen, 6 little ones and of course Patricia and Ali!! It was a fun shoot, and we even met up with another couple who dropped over for a shot or two. The sky was amazing and we were lucky enough not to get wet. St Johns Church was great for photos.

Jess and Paul - Duntroon

2009-11-15T22:25:00.003+11:00

Paul and the boys looked fantastic in their uniforms. We were lucky enough to be able to do some shots around Duntroon House - amazing place!!

Stephanie and Stephen - Saint Christophers Canberra

2009-11-15T22:08:00.005+11:00

What a fun wedding! We pushed cars to get them going!!! And spent most of our time at Old Parliament House Gardens for some fun shots. You can see the excitement as Stephanie walked down the isle.

Emma and Travis - Yarralumla woolshed wedding

2009-10-14T22:21:00.008+11:00

Now I know how to get a bride out of her shirt without messing up her hair!!

Nicole and Steven Batemans Bay

2009-10-05T15:22:00.010+11:00

Well it rained, and rained! But we had a great time at an old factory (where we were dry) before going back into town to find a pier and then off to the beach. The girls were very brave as they paddled in the water and tried not to look cold on the beach. But despite the rain, we managed to get some fantastic shots and everyone enjoyed themselves.

Meagan and Dave - September 09

2009-09-30T18:46:00.007+10:00

Yes, the same cold and wet weekend but it didn't slow us down and definitely didn't slow Meagan and Dave down as they actually danced their way out of the Chapel. It was a bit cool for the girls so we visited the Hyatt Hotel and utilised the amazing light. We even tried some crazy things to warm up a bit.

Kirra and Ben's Wedding - September 09

2009-09-30T18:23:00.009+10:00

Not only did it rain, but it was freezing. Kirra and Ben's bridal party were very easy going and helped us get some fun and relaxed photos before the ceremony. As soon as we were in the Chapel at Gold Creek it started to rain (again) but we did the group photo and all the family photos in there so everyone was nice and warm. After a quick photo session we headed off to Functions at Federation for some more shots out on the deck.

Renee and Chris - September 09

2009-09-30T18:08:00.008+10:00

We had an amazing day. After a fantstic ceremony at St Johns church in Reid, we took off to the Railway Museum to have some fun with the trains. The it was over to the National Museum to take advantage of the warm sun before visiting the lake area for the spectacular clouds. Renee and Chris' bridal party were good sports as we didn't tell them they woud star in the slide show that night! Some funny photos were shown.

Cecile and Emile - K&S Wedding

2009-09-28T12:06:00.011+10:00

The weather was good to us, so Kelly and I (we are K&S Photographers) took our wonderful couple to Hall countryside then back into town for some shots near the lake before the wind picked up and our girls started to freeze. It was a crazy and fun filled day. Enjoy the photos.

Melissa and Robert's wedding

2009-08-24T22:44:00.009+10:00

Melissa and Rob had a fun filled and relaxed wedding day. We started at the Chapel at Gold Creek and after a few tears (happy ones) during the ceremony, we went bush to Wallaroo Winery just near Hall. The staff out there looked after us as we raced around trying to avoid the rain and disappearing light. I must remember to avoid having the girls in heels try and walk across cattle grids!!!

After braving the cool, wet conditions, we headed back to the Abbey to warm up again.

Stacey and Brett - Narooma Wedding

2009-08-09T23:18:00.012+10:00

The tension was high due to the wind and rain the day before but on the day the sun shone and it was perfect for their wedding. We managed to sneak in some fantastic shots before the sun went and the shots you see of the bridge are straight from the camera. An amazing reflection (and good angle!!) in the late afternoon. The girls were very brave and were happy(??) to run around on the beach in the cool breeze. The Narooma Golf Club is a great place to get married and to photograph (even to play golf).

National Awards - Master Photographer

2009-07-08T10:48:00.005+10:00

How exciting!!! Well, I am excited. In the recent AIPP Photographic Awards I managed to obtain 2 silver awards which when combined with my past achievements has allowed me to achieve the status of Master Photographer. Here are the 4 prints that were entered.

Helen and Michael - Pregnancy Shoot

2009-07-08T10:37:00.006+10:00

Our goal was to do some different shots so many thanks to Helen and Michael for letting us (Julie came with me - new Chapel shooter) try all sorts of things - we all had a great time and I am looking forward to the birth of their baby for the next most important part!!

Anita and Clint - Take 2

2009-07-08T10:06:00.006+10:00

A few weeks ago (maybe 4), Anita and Clint volunteered to come out with some of the Chapel Photographers for a fun afternoon of shooting. We had a fantastic time and everyone took some amazing photos. Thankyou so much Anita and Clint

A baby shoot - Toby

2009-07-08T10:00:00.006+10:00

Toby was amazing! He is still learning to sit up and was quite happy to be plonked all over the place - a very happy little boy. His cousin dropped in so we managed to get some great shots of the two of them.

Jennifer and Ben (Michael) June 2009

2009-07-05T23:12:00.008+10:00

What a fun wedding!! The girls braved the cold and we wandered down to the lake to get some amazing shots before the sun quickly disappeared. Joe and his lovely wife (the bridal cars) kept us all warm with hot coffee, tea and yummy biscuits before we joined the guests at the Boat House Restaurant.

My Maggie and Ben - 23 May09

2009-07-05T22:36:00.006+10:00

Yes, that's right, my Maggie went and got herself married!!! I was kept company on the day by Kelly Tunney and we both took some great shots of the very very cold girls and the camera shy boys. Maggie brought a tear to my eye when I first saw her - she looked stunning. Ben is a very lucky man.

Samantha and John - 16 May 09

2009-07-05T22:24:00.005+10:00

It was a beautiful late afternoon wedding in May. We enjoyed the warm sun in the late afternoon until it turned a little cool for the girls. A highlight of the day was Samantha's dads reaction when he first saw her.

Amanda and James 9May 2009

2009-07-05T21:46:00.005+10:00

James and Amanda had a beautiful Autumn day for their wedding. James' family and friends flew over from New Zealand, so it was an extra special day for them to be surrounded by them all.

Lauren and Brendan (and Harry) - 2 May 09

2009-06-22T21:37:00.005+10:00

I photographed little Harry just after he was born and have been looking forward to his mum and dad's wedding. It was such a pleasure to photograph this wonderful family and be a part of their wedding day. We even managed photos of Brendan's new toy - the Ducati!!! Well done guys!

Caterina and Joe

2009-06-22T21:09:00.006+10:00

Big big wedding and a most amazing day for the very beautiful Caterina and her very lucky husband, Joe. We had some fun doing some different photos and could have kept going for ages if we had more light! But what a wonderful day for them.

Kellie and Trevor - 12 Apr 09

2009-06-22T20:36:00.004+10:00

Don't you just love the warm Autumn Canberra days? We started at the Chapel in Gold Creek and then drove up to the ruins at Mt Stromlo before wandering around the buildings out near the airport. Some great places to get some amazing photos.

Stephanie and Leon - 11 Apr 09

2009-06-22T13:38:00.005+10:00

Huge storm clouds that were threatening rain gave us a fantastic backdrop out at Wallaroo Winery near Hall. A fantastic place to visit and to do a wedding shoot. We left there and wandered back into town to do a few more shots at the Portrait Gallery.

Keep watching - still more to come

2009-06-21T22:41:00.002+10:00

Yay, getting some of the weddings up - stay tuned - more to come. Have lots more weddings, another shoot with Anita and Clint, pregnancy and baby shoots as well. Plus info about the National awards being judged this week.

Anita and Clint - 4 April 2009

2009-06-21T17:23:00.005+10:00

Anita and Clint were amazing to photograph. They are both photo nuts so we all had a ball going to interesting places and shooting for ages. You could see and feel the love these two have for each other. Clint amazed us all by playing his guitar and singing to Anita - not a dry eye in the place - hard to take photos with moist eyes!!

Kimberley and Ian - Batemans Bay - 28Mar09

2009-06-21T17:10:00.007+10:00

Another perfect day on the South coast. Kimberley amazed everyone by arriving on horse back. After a windy ceremony we took off to a local beach to have some fun in the surf and sand.

Michelle and Andrew 21 March 2009

2009-06-21T17:04:00.004+10:00

The weather was absolutely perfect for this wonderful wedding. The boys had some shots in board shorts on the beach and we scooted around in the golf carts to some of the beautiful spots around the Narooma Golf Club.

2009-06-20T12:03:00.003+10:00

2009-06-20T09:37:00.005+10:00

Lucinda and Matthew's Canberra wedding

2009-03-06T12:38:00.008+11:00

It was a Friday wedding so we were able to go to some 'secret' places to get these amazing shots. Lucinda and Matt were fantastic and very open to try all sorts of things. What a couple - they made my job very easy!!! We had a ball!!

Baby Lincoln

2009-03-06T12:33:00.006+11:00

How cute is this little guy! Very proud parents, Michelle and Simon, asked me to do some shots of him, so we tried a few different things and had the usual experience of no nappy means things going all over the place!! Poor Michelle copped most most it.

Lara and Lloyd's wedding

2009-03-06T12:25:00.006+11:00

Another fantastic wedding in Canberra. After the ceremony we found ourselves a strange looking building and then a nice cool spot out of the sun near Old Parliament House and had some fun with the photo shoot.

Melinda and Stephen's Narooma Wedding

2009-02-20T11:49:00.007+11:00

Alyssa and Chris' wedding photography in Canberra

2009-02-05T22:00:00.006+11:00

Who would have thought you could have so much fun on a shoot when it was 39.5 degrees. Alyssa and Chris' were amazing, as were the bridal party. It was VERY hot, yet everyone relaxed and we had an awesome time, did some crazy things and captured some very special photos.

Sam and Vidia

2009-02-03T08:42:00.004+11:00

Stunning and vibrant are two words to describe this wedding. What an awesome day we had.

Canberra Wedding Photography - Skye and Luke

2009-01-30T21:19:00.004+11:00

After a warm and relaxed wedding ceremony in the Chapel at Gold Creek, we did a few shots down at the lake before exploring the Portrait Gallery in Canberra. A great place to shoot and an even better place to cool off!

Abby and Ragu

2009-01-24T08:58:00.004+11:00

Two colourful weddings within 2 months! Love it.

Jessica and Peter 10 January 2009

2009-01-24T08:48:00.005+11:00

It was a great day to have a wedding. Maggie was her usual helpful self by escorting Jessica through the long grass to get to this amazing place in Queanbeyan

Melissa and Maka

2009-01-24T07:57:00.004+11:00

Now this was a huge wedding. Maggie and I were pretty tired by the end of 12 hours of shooting. But our energy levels were recharged by the fantastic response to our slide show. Maka sang a beautiful song to Melissa and there wasn't a dry eye in the place - hard to shoot like that!!

What a day! We went to the Canberra Railway Museum and then to the National Museum (lots of museums!). Peter had his pride and joy delivered to us so we could get some photos of the two of them with the car. A beautiful car - only out shone by his beautiful wife Tina.

Things have been very busy in the last few months, so I haven't been able to keep you up todate with all the wedding photos that have been in Canberra and the surrounding area.

But above this post you will find the missing November and December posts.

1,000,000 to my very patient couples.
