13th Beach Golf Links – In the rough

Robb Duncan — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 05:48:11 +0000

I know I have already posted an image from our rather short session at 13th Beach Golf Links, but the response to the first image was so overwhelmingly positive I thought I would post another!!

Barwon Heads Wedding Photography

Robb Duncan — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 03:40:05 +0000

We all know how “interesting” the weather was over the weekend in Victoria, and I have to say while I missed the heaviest of it, it did play havoc with the wedding I photographed the Barwon Heads Golf Club.

In between breaks in the rain and thunder, we wandered out onto the edge of the 13th Beach Golf Links to grab a few quick storm inspired images… Like this!!

Reception Party Animals

Robb Duncan — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 10:44:32 +0000

I noticed that the wedding reception doesn’t get that much blog time, which is weird because the reception takes up 30-40% of the actual wedding day!!

So I did a quick check through some of my recent wedding reception party images and gathered together a few I would like to share.

Barwon Heads

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.

Gateway in the moonlight

Robb Duncan — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 02:24:58 +0000

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.

Below the Lighthouse – Point Lonsdale

Robb Duncan — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 02:41:01 +0000

I couldn’t resist posting another sneak peek from Jaz and Daves wedding.

Its funny because I dont normally pose people to much at all, I just let them be themselves. So its great that Jaz and Dave were so good at just being themselves !!

My Geelong

Robb Duncan — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 03:37:46 +0000

After the popularity of my various My Melbourne blog posts, I thought I would start a series on Geelong, considering I book about 1/2 of my weddings there.

So hello Geelong !!

This was a quick 5 minute exposure of the Geelong Waterfront captured on Saturday Night on my way home from Jaz and Daves wedding.

Another Ballarat Engagement Session – Sneak peek

Robb Duncan — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 12:30:15 +0000

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 !!!!!

Prahran Engagement Session – Melbourne Photography

Robb Duncan — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 13:11:37 +0000

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!!

Cape Otway Wedding VI

Robb Duncan — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 13:58:45 +0000

This wedding has been sneak peeked a number of times, and I guess you could say I like to tease. I have a full post almost ready to go, just finishing off the last few images and we are all set !!

As with the last image I posted from this wedding, sometimes an image says enough to not have to add much of anything else… And this happened a lot with this wedding… it was really something special.

A Kiss
