Bride in colour

Saturday, March 6, 2010

When Marianne showed me her styling for her big day a few weeks ago, I was completely sold to the idea. A touch of vintage, a splash of colour, a lot of music, mixed with a grain of silliness. I knew straight away it’s going to be an amazing wedding. Marianne is a true artist and opted to try something a little different. Bride in colour. I’ve photographed tons of wedding stuff but bride in colour is certainly a first.

Marianne’s colourful styling has added a bit of spark to the otherwise wet and dull weather.

Getting ready: Sister’s vintage decorated terrace house in Paddington
Shoes: Anne Klein
Ceremony: St Frances Xavier Church, Lavendar Bay
Location: Lavendar Bay
Reception: Mandalay

Here’s another quick sneak peek for now.

Marianne.



Off to another shoot now - it’s been an insanely busy wedding season - do stay tuned for more.

Destination wedding - Moscow

Thursday, March 4, 2010

Here’s a sneak peek at what’s to come.

Ok. This isn’t exactly a destination wedding but one that has a wedding photographer in Sydney travelled all the way to Moscow, Russia to photograph. You could imagine just how awesome this wedding was. I’ve never even dreamed of going to Moscow, let alone to document a wedding under some pretty harsh condition for a Sydneysider like me. It was -25C. Yep, minus 25C. This is somewhat colder than what I’m used to for a typical wedding in Sydney.

Anyway, here it is, the Red Square:



Stay tuned for more.

Agata & Chris

Thursday, February 11, 2010

I love my job.

I love spending time with the bride and groom on the day of their wedding and sharing those special moments. I love it even more when I get invited to join them with all the little things leading up to their wedding, like the reharsals. With Agata & Chris, I even got to see how their bridal gown was made right from the very beginning. It’s pretty amazing how modern bridal gowns have become such a fashion statement with a cross between vintage and modern.

Here’s some of the photos from the couture:





 
Agata and Chris had a lovely simple and small wedding. We headed over to Centennial Park for location photos. Here’s some of my favourite of the day:









 

I love these two shots here and I decided to give them vintage treatment:




 
We then had the best light ever which lasted only for a few seconds.







 
A vintage wedding is not complete without my classic polaroid film. I’m so glad to see polaroid coming back on the market very soon.


Thanks Paul for assisting on the day.

    Natasha & Charles - Wedding

    Tuesday, October 6, 2009

    When I first met Natasha and Charles, I knew straight away that this would be an awesome wedding. It was no doubt one of the best weddings I’ve ever been to. The couple was perfect, the guests were fantastic, the ceremony was moving, the music was awesome, the speeches were funny, the food was great, the drinks even greater, and more importantly, Tash and Charles was just so down to earth. Everyone had a great time despite the rain and nothing could stop the party afterward.

    Ceremony: Elizabeth Bay House

    Reception: Museum of Contemporary Art

    We started off at the boys getting ready:

    And at the same time, the girls were busy getting themselves looking absolutely fabulous:

  • Sandy & Ronnie - Wedding

    Wednesday, September 9, 2009

    I’m so delighted to have the opportunity to shoot this wedding for the beautiful Sandy and Ronnie on Saturday. The wedding was absolutely fabulous and shooting with one of the most gifted and generous photographer I know, Jenny has always been so much fun. We started early in the morning with blue sky and great weather. A perfect wedding day under perfect condition can only be matched with a perfect location. We started our session straight after the lovely ceremony at Bicentennial Park.

    Here’s some of my favourites of the day.

    Wasn’t it a perfect day for a wedding:

  • Nic & Chris - Destination Wedding

    Wednesday, May 20, 2009

    This destination wedding has people flown thousands of kilometers from all over the world, including myself. I am still in the middle of my European trip and decided to fly all the way back to Australia to capture this very special wedding near Jervis Bay. Nic & Chris lives in London but wanted to have the wedding in a special location where they both shared memorable times together.

    I love destination weddings. Guests enjoy themselves so much more when they are away from the big smoke - they go a little crazy.

    This wedding was beautifully put together by Jen from As a Whisper.

    We started at Nic’s parents for getting ready shots:






    Nic looks absolutely gorgeous. I got this photo just before we headed out to the wedding and it started to rain.



    And of course, let’s not forget the good looking groom.









    Great capture by Jenny.





    I just love all the details in this wedding. Nic & Chris has really cool styling.

    Another great capture by Jenny.



    A big thank you to Jenny for shooting with me.

    Bec & Tim - Wedding

    Saturday, May 16, 2009

    The best part of being a wedding photographer is to be part of someone’s life for a day. You observe the entire wedding right from the very beginning when the girls get ready which is always glittered with joy and fun. To the anticipation and nervousness just before the ceremony, then the touching moments in front of all the guests and followed by celebration of the special event filled with food, drinks, dance and all the rest.

    On Saturday, I got to experience the magic of love once again and to be at the amazing wedding of Bec & Tim, I feel absolutely honoured. This wedding was held at their family private property at Kenthurst with an awesome lake and beautiful bushland on the property.

    Here’s some of my favourites for the day.

    I love how Bec carries the very sentimental ring with her bouquet:

    The privilege of seeing the brides in preparation is priceless. All the emotion and anticipation leading up to the big moment is something that no other guest would see. And this the reason I capture these magical moments to preserve that memory.

    These ear pieces were made by Bec’s cousin as a gift. Bec’s whole family are really gifted with making things.

    These bridesmaid dresses were made by Bec’s sister (also a bridesmaid) and they knew exactly what to do:




    The girls were very anxious and kept peeking at the guests and the boys:




    Bec has a really beautiful smile and is very chic too.



    I always knew black and red go well together at weddings. Here’s proof. It’s modern, it’s stylish, and neat.




    Sydney’s summer weather for the past couple of years have been extremely volatile and rained every second weekend. Luckily the sun shined through just at the right moment.






    The wedding was held at a private property with some pretty awesome scenery.





    I’ve always love the look and feel of a Polaroid prints. So every now and then, I like taking a few shots with my Polaroid at weddings and that always adds something extra to the wedding album:

    Madeleine & Patrick - Destination Wedding

    Tuesday, July 1, 2008

    When Madeleine and Patrick asked me to photograph their wedding in the nice small town of Tübingen in Germany, I knew I would have a great time. As it turns out, it was the most enjoyable wedding I’ve ever been to. The guests were incredibly nice to me and everyone went out of their way make sure to make sure I had a good time. People came from all over Europe to this wedding.

    It’s always fun photographing weddings outside of Sydney. Here’s a few shots of my take on Tübingen:



    The preparation was just so much fun…





    Dress was designed by the famous SiÖdam Couture:




    I love this photo for some reason. Maybe it’s the very sentimental gift that Madeleine was wearing:



    Madeleine lives just right next to a farm house so we decided to pay a visit before we went off to the church.



    Although the ceremony was held in Dutch and German and that I understood none of it, it was still very touching for me, and Madeleine & Patrick were so sweet during the ceremony:

    Tübingen resides a number of famous Germans including Pope Benedict XVI. We managed to get access to the garden where poet Friedrich Hölderlin once lived in.



    We had a little too much time and the girls decided to do some girly things - shopping for chocolate:

    We then realised that we were running a little late to the reception:


    “Private function, sorry for the inconvenience” (how German is this):

    I’ve always wanted to try the idea of a photo booth at weddings. Particularly after a few drinks, people do get a little crazy. Patrick suggested a little fun with a photo frame.

    A big thank you for Anne-Marie for looking after me throughout the wedding.
