A kiss

Its always cool to shoot an engagement session at the same place that the ceremony will be held… For one I can discus the wedding day details with the bride and groom, and of course you get to see exactly what it is about the location that the couple like, and there is nothing like a live walkthrough to get a good feel for the place.
This was another Ballarat engagement session, and even though the rain held off, its just a pity the mosquitoes didn’t!!
Kirks Res - Ballarat Engagement Session
And you know I have a think for arches and tunnels and things of that sort lately…. so it was awesome to find another one to play with.
And not that many more weeks until the wedding, I can’t wait !!!!!

The idea was to capture something with a little of flavor from Jocelyn and Simon’s local neighbourhood… I guess you could say a little urban edge…
Next to Prahran Station, and almost edgy enough!!
It was an awesome session, thanks so much guys!!
I will have more on this session soon, I promise!!

You all remember these images from the awesome e-session of Tanya and Angus right?!!
Well and truly covered !!
And you know how much they loved the session right? Almost as much as I did !!
Well, Tanya and Angus decided to share the session with the world by writing a little letter to Land Rover Monthly Magazine.
And they asked if they could include some images, which of course I was more than happy to supply !!
Anyhow, I just found out via facebook that the letter was published in this months Magazine, How awesome is that?!!
VERY AWESOME !!
A perfect muddy kiss!!
Thanks Tanya and Angus for the mention and thanks for being the kinds of people I love to deal with!! And I can’t wait until MAY!!!!

Tuesday was a great day. After spending an hour or so with Stylist Megan Budge, we ventured forth to Hedgeley Dene Gardens to have some fun (see previous post).
About 45minutes later we all stopped for a bite to eat, where I had a roast beef and salad sandwich on wholemeal bread and a lemonade. Then we moved on to the second location, the drains at Kooyong, for something a little different.
Here is the little sneak peek at the second 1/2 of Rachelle and John’s Engagement Session.
The bride to be (I love this image!!)
A little smile
And the Groom to be
Avoiding the mud and water
A Moment
One of my Favorites, for sure.
A piggy back ride, just for laughs.
Where did she go...??
And one more kiss
Thanks Rachelle and John, the whole day was awesome.

It was John’s last minute idea to go to Hedgeley Dene Gardens in Malvern, for the first part of the shoot, and it was perfect !! The location was awesome, the light was just gorgeous, and these two were just so damn cute together!!!.
Here is a little sneak peek at the first 1/2 of Rachelle and John’s Engagement Session.
A kiss (there were many)
A little moment
They poked faces at each other a lot !!
Among the Agapanthus
Trying to be serious!!
That's "Mr Duck" to you!!
Another kiss
Probably my favourite.
So, there you have it.
I just might post some of the second 1/2 of the e-session tomorrow, if you are good.

I love what I do, I get to photograph some really cool stuff, but over the years I have never had the opportunity to photograph a Hair and Make-up Trial. Probably because its not the most obvious thing for a wedding photographer to actually be invited to… Until today !!
I had the absolute pleasure of spending the morning with Stylist Megan Budge and one of my Awesome November Couples, Rachelle and John.
Rachelle was smart enough to time their engagement session with her Hair and Make-up trial, so she would look even more awesome !! Now thats called thinking ahead !!
And I know you are dying to see them, so here are some of the images !! (16 actually!!)
Heating the rollers
The Hair, almost 1/2 way there!!
Some serious roller action
A little hairspray
Brushes and brushes
And now for a little makeup.
And a little over here...
Guess the colours.
And now the eyes
I didn't miss much
Curling the Lashes
A box of tricks
I love the hair just the way it is now, but I am a little crazy like that.
I love this shot !
And this one, with John, quietly looking on.
And the final result!! Awesomeness!!
I will post some of the actual e-session tomorrow OK !!

After all the attention that Marble the super dog received, I know there are a few people who have been waiting to see the rest, so here is a selection of Rachael and John’s engagement session !!
It was cold and windy, but the view was worth it !!
Thats not nervousness, it really was that cold and windy !!
Being cute !!
Rocking some American inspired posing style
Black Swans - Look !!
Marble, Rachael and John
Marble - He is just checking to make sure I am doing my job properly !!
You two are so cute together!!
A country road

This one could easily be an “image of the week” and I love the fact that it has a wedding feel about it, even though its an Engagement Session image.
(The session is a secret surprise !! So I can’t share any other images yet !!).
I love what I do, and I love the awesome and quirky and at times crazy people I get to meet and photograph !!

I had the joy of meeting Michelle and Jorden in Torquay a week or so ago to shoot their Engagement Session and I have to admit, I do love Torquay.
And I can’t wait to shoot their Wedding in November !!
A quiet moment
The ring and a kiss on the beach at Torquay.
They are so cute !!
Looking out to sea
Thats it for now,
I will post a few more later, but right now I have to run off and pick up some Canvas Prints.

Ok, so I have a lot more work to catch up on than I realised, But I though I would share a shot from my weekend engagement session, shot at John’s family farm, just out of Geelong. It was Cold and Windy… and well, actually it was very cold. And did I mention it was windy?
Consider this a sneak peek… I will post more soon. (they are almost ready!!)
Rachael and John's dog Marble - on the run !!
Marble provided the entertainment for the afternoon and made sure every pose and camera angle was thoroughly inspected before I pressed the shutter.
Not bad work for a little dog that is still recovering from an operation !!
For those that are interested, It was captured by :- Canon 5DII & 70-200mm @ 200mm – ISO 1600 – 1/1000 second @ f/2.8

The aim of Image of the week is to show you a little more of what I love to shoot, and most times its something a little different.

I recently had the pleasure of travelling to Briars Homestead, near Mount Martha on the Mornington Peninsula to shoot Gary and Michelle’s wonderfully laid back Engagement Portrait Session. They were accompanied by Sam and a few hundred flies (I don’t think the flies were Sam’s Fault… :)
I had the pleasure of meeting up with Adrian and Annette in the heart of Melbourne to shoot their Engagement session on Thursday evening last week and I have to admit I had a blast.
They were nervously cute together, but it didnt take long before I had them smiling at my “half crazy, dark alley, rubbish bin climbing antics”. I cannnot wait to shoot their wedding at Point Cook Homestead in November !!
