matt & charissa: engagement

Wednesday, 19 August 2009
In love. Sweet. Romantic. I could try and find many other words but they would probably not be enough to convey how Matt and Charissa are together. Alright, that's actually just an excuse for my poor writing skills and lack of fancy words. I talk like a 5 yr old sometimes and if you want to know how I actually described them on the day of the e-session, my very words were "you guys have unlimited canoodliness". Nice huh? Lucky they didn't hire me to write speeches =)

Seriously though, these two are one of the sweetest couples I've ever had the pleasure of photographing. They are so full of love and I just know their wedding day is going to be very special.





It was a really beautiful morning for an e-session and quite a change for me as I normally schedule all mine in the afternoon. Charissa was sick the day before and was coming out of hospital that very morning. It was nothing too serious but I suggested we reschedule so she could rest. She was such a trooper and still wanted to go ahead with the shoot and on top of that managed to look very fabulous =)

I really like the kayaks in this shot and feel they add a little something to the otherwise trees and water that could've been anywhere. I was smiling behind the camera as I saw it enter the right of the frame and waited til they were in the right spot.





Doesn't Charissa have such a gorgeous smile? =)








Playing with texture.











Reading is one of the ways they spend quality time together.





















Matt really adores Charissa and I have all the proofs right here =)








This one is my favourite photo from this e-session.





I swear she's got such a gorgeous smile! Love the red dress too.



















I was eyeing this outrigger that was sitting on the beach. The owner asked if I was interested in outriggers. I thought oh yes I sure am...but for the photos, not to row in one =p





An antique-ish look.











Matt & Charissa, you guys made my job so easy. Two weeks to go! Can't wait for more canoodliness from you two =)

jo's 40th

Sunday, 16 August 2009
A couple of months ago, Kylie asked me to take some snaps at her partner Jo's birthday party. Jo celebrated her 40th with close friends at a little cafe in Rushcutters Bay. It was a casual event filled with pretty lights, drinkies, smiles and laughter. Here are some pics:





Kylie making sure Jo's got her eyes closed. It was a surprise.














I just love this thing! Not sure what it's called but it's like a tuk tuk or a scooter of some sort. A real funky way to store your beverage at a party =)
































Kylie & Jo

mandarin sky

Friday, 7 August 2009
The weather changed drastically early this evening here in Sydney. If you were around, you may have seen how crazy the sky looked. I took a piccie of it near my place:





You don't see clouds like that everyday!

I love the word "Vanilla Sky" but this is hardly vanilla. It looks more like blood orange hence the lame post title...if you were wondering =p

I was almost tempted to get in my car and get to higher ground so I could see the sunset, I just knew it was going to be spectacular! I'm glad you caught it Natt, so beautiful! (07 August 2009 23:18)  

Beautiful shot!! :) Wish Canberra had sunsets like that... Looking forward to Jan! :) (10 August 2009 09:39)  

nat & leo: wedding

Thursday, 6 August 2009
Hello. I'm back from my holiday. It feels a little weird skipping an entire month. I was going to blog this wedding before I left but I ran out of packing time =)

Nat & Leo had a small wedding at Hickson Road Reserve, surrounded by close family and friends. After meeting these two a couple of times and doing their engagement shoot, I imagined their family to be warm loving people. I was not wrong at all. Leo's mum hugged us like we were family as soon as we walked through the door and that was such an awesome way to start the day! It was such a pleasant wedding that my assistant said she didn't feel like she was working at all =) Here are some images from their wedding:

















Men always take a LOT less time to get ready don't they? Nat's dad is just killing time =)



































The ladies reached for the scarfs when it started raining at the ceremony. Luckily it didn't rain for too long!














Nat wanted lots of pics with the beautiful classic car =)





Sririn captured this one.





Nat looks really cute in this shot IMHO.Align Left




















I was excited to spot this bike with a basket full of yellow flowers. What a nice little burst of colour. Actually during my hols, I discovered my camera has a thing for bicycles!





The light was totally gone by this stage so we borrowed a lit shop window.








Thirsty? Hungry?
















Ok since Nat & Leo are both from Venezuela, I really wanted to find a fun piece of latin music for the slideshow and I spent ages looking but due to my hopelessness I couldn't find one. Anyway, click here to check out their slideshow.

Thank you Nat & Leo for having us at your wedding!
