Christine & Gavin | Sydney Wedding Photographer

After a week of rain, we were hopelessly hoping for some wonderful weather as Christine and Gavin said ‘I do’ in a little chapel upon a cliff at HMAS Watson in Sydney. To our shock and delight we were blessed with blue skies and sunshine. This ‘no fuss’ couple then took a short stole along the waterfront before joining their guests at Dunbar House for an elegant lunch reception. A beautiful low key wedding surrounded by their dearest of friends… what more could you want?

I just wanted to share a few photos from yesterdays wedding pictorial, we had so much fun at this gorgeous location, it’s not often I get to photograph weddings in this type of setting and still be in Sydney :)

We were blessed with gorgeous weather (yummy light), a gorgeously cute couple along with a fabulous “Best Man” and Maid of Honour. What more could you ask for… oh wait… finding an old picture frame in the shed? YES! haha

Thank you for having me share you day with you, enjoy your honeymoon and I will see you when you get back :)

Introducing Mr & Mrs Edwards…

new album samples | Sydney Portrait Photographer

Like a kid on Christmas morning!

That’s how I was when I received me new sample albums this morning, I went for a run and when I got back I found the parcel on my front door step, I was struggling for breath all sweaty and gross but I couldn’t wait, I sat on the front step and ripped my parcel open and found these gorgeous albums. A 5×5 newborn ‘brag book’ and a 10×10 coffee table book from this session. So excited!

preset test drive | Sydney Portrait Photographer

It is always awesome to be ‘in the know’ to be able to have the inside goss and it’s even better to be one of the first to sample something before all your friends, it makes you feel special.. Well it makes ME feel special haha.

I was lucky enough to be ‘in the know’ when Kelsey Anderson was considering releasing her first set of Adobe Lightroom Presets. Well I have also been lucky enough to test drive her new presets called ‘Vegas Baby’ and I LOVE them, especially her famous black and white. Kelsey has a very unique style of processing which has seen her receive countless emails begging and pleading to know her recipes, so she has done what every savvy business woman does and released them to the wild public. She has them on sale at the moment as a promotional price but I know this won’t be lasting long so if you are smart you will snap them up now. Oh and just so you can feel special with some inside goss… stay tuned as I am going to be having a giveaway of these awesome presets within the next few days ;)

Below you can see my photo’s Straight Out Of Camera (SOOC) followed by my processing with KAP’s new fab presets.

Adelaide, Katherine and Griffith are all Australian cities, they also make up the name of this sweet little girl, though she spells her Catherine with a C not K. ;)

I usually only photograph newborns under 14 days old, but seeing I was lucky enough to photograph Beck’s maternity session, no way was I going to turn away the opportunity to meet this little lady. She was the most well behaved 3 week old I have had, bless her.

Now that her name is no longer a surprise, I can show off these photo’s from the maternity session too, I was not allowed to post them before. I felt pretty special knowing her name before anyone else. And one sneaky shot from our newborn session.

Welcome to the world Adelaide.

Just a quick sneak peek into today’s session with 10-day-old Indiana. Don’t be fooled by her super cute rolls, gorgeous baby lips, girly headband and itty bitty tootsies.. this one is a feisty little girl. One of the toughest we have had yet, and a cry on her like you wouldn’t believe.. but we still loved every minute of it. :o)

She is wearing gorgeous headbands made by the wonderful Cathy from Bliss Clips

Elise — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 05:21:57 +0000

I am in the process of editing a session I did this morning, once again my photography greed can be blamed for a second photo shoot with this gorgeous munchkin. I won’t get to finish editing the session today but just wanted to share one of the images that makes me smile..

HAPPY FRIDAY!!

rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb | Sydney Baby Photographer

Elise — Sun, 16 May 2010 11:06:09 +0000

This blue eyed beauty was the winner of my mother’s day contest. I was so excited for this session, mostly because Jayne, Charli’s mummy was so excited, it was infectious and I just knew we would have fun. It was such a relaxed, laid back session that I wish could have gone all evening. I am just in love with her eyes, and her smile, even her crying face is super cute!

During the session, as my attention was on Charli, mum and dad were ‘props’ in the background so I told them to chat amongst themselves… “rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb” was the chosen topic, apparently extras in movies/tv shows say this in the background when they need to look like they are having a conversation, I found it hilarious and it became the standard ‘extras’ chat for the session.

I had such a great time and loved meeting your little family. Thank you for being so welcoming.

A special thanks to my wonderful assistant Rosalie for being my baby wrangler :)
