So often I find myself out and about as the sun sets, and more often than not I am treated to something a little special. Most times, I am in no position to stop and capture the scene, due to time constraints or a poor location, but when I do get the chance, you can be sure I take it, and its always worth the wait !!
Like I said, totally worth the wait !!

I have had the absolute pleasure of having Justin Hill of Dekuji Photo work along side me as my trusty second shooter a number of times over the past year.
It has been awesome, and the guy has serious talent.
And last month I finally got to return the favor and become his “slave for the day”, we had a blast!!
Here is a quick one I captured while I was watching out for Trams. Its always a good idea to have a lookout when you are photographing people standing in the middle of the street!!

Thanks Justin. :)

When Jill showed me her stunning new Journal cover, I just had to photograph it!!
Its hard to describe in words something so beautiful, something so precious, such are the thoughts and memories that this journal contains.

Its always nice to photograph somewhere a little different and The Rotunda on the beach at Williamstown is certainly a little different. It has that intimate feel to it that you just cant get with a larger venue, and I like that.
The Wedding day had been a little wild and stormy, with plenty of wind and rain. But just as the sun set, the clouds parted, and…
The Rotunda - Williamstown
Considering the Rotundas tinted windows, this shot is actually a lot harder than it might first appear. But we can cover that another day.

The Chapel, Poets Lane is always a perfect winter wedding ceremony venue. Devi and Franks recent weekday wedding was no exception.

There are many upsides to leaving home at 5.30am to drive to the bridal makeup and hair session, the following image is just one !!

More to follow I promise !!

I think I expressed my feelings pretty well when I blogged about this a year ago.
Today is one of the few days in the year when I actually take a moment to stop and reflect on things… and maybe shed a tear. Today I look back on my families long, proud and its fair to say at times miss guided Military Service history. I say “miss guided” not to diminish what they did or what they went through, but to attempt to convey to you the simple fact that for the most part, they (like so many others) didn’t know what they were getting themselves into. But I suppose thats enough about that…
Like many people, I feel strongly about ANZAC. I was born in Australia, and raised in New Zealand. Dads a Kiwi, Mums an Aussie. Technically I am an Aussie, but I served in the New Zealand Army… You get the idea right…? Good. Enough about me.
And like I said, a picture is worth a thousand words… So here is my thousand.
Simple, Straight Forward… and Cold.
Two Beers, Carlton Draught from Melbourne and Tui from New Zealand
You might be thinking to yourself “why did he use choose those beers…?” Well, thats an easy one, you see Carlton Draught is my Dad’s favorite Aussie beer and Tui is MY favorite beer, and I am about to enjoy one of each in a moment.

Angus got a little red wagon for his birthday, which he thinks is just awesome. I couldn’t agree more!!
We decided to load the wagon with a couple of “friends” (Ali the Alligator and Horace the Horse) and then Angus and I took the loaded wagon to school to pick up his older brother and of course I had a camera with me.

Checking on the cargo
It's tough work being an Alligator.

The latest batch of 7 proof books has been shipped from my supplier and should arrive in the next week. They apologise for the printing delay, but good things take time I suppose !!

New proof books are one their way!! (image is a representation only and does not show the actual proof books... as they have not arrived yet... obviously)
But lets be excited anyway… as those proof books contain over 3600 wedding images, although not all in the same book, obviously!!

I had a wedding at the Barwon Heads Golf Club yesterday, and there was about an hour of down time between the Bride getting her hair and make-up done in Prahran, and when everyone would arrive at 13th Beach Golf Links to get ready… And you know exactly what I like to do when I have a little down time.

Its amazing what you see while driving home from a client meeting at 10pm. I had pulled over on the side of the road to take a phone call from my lovely wife who just wanted to know if I was on my way, and then told me to take care and travel safely. Looking out the passenger window of the car as I hung up the phone, this scene lay before me… I couldnt resist grabbing a camera and stepping out of the car. With the full moon low in the sky and the cold wind howling, it kind of had a Werewolf feel to it.
I know, its kinda weird… and I was in two minds about posting this one, but its just so different I couldn’t help myself.
Gateway in the moonlight
Those squiggly lines in the sky are actually stars… It was a 1.6 second exposure and like I said it was kind of cold and very windy… so keeping the camera steady was not really an option, but it fits the whole mood of the scene perfectly.
