Bron & Dave

(I removed the video from here because I couldnt get it not to play automatically! But you can see it here - http://vimeo.com/26322108 )

So, I'm about to leave for Barcelona & Berlin in a few hours, and I've spent the last week hurriedly editing two weddings to make sure theyre all finished before I go (and back to the couples under a month after the day). So it feels great to have everything finished, though I didnt leave enough time to blog them!

So, as a placeholder untill I make a proper post about each wedding, heres a slideshow of some highlights throughout the day of Bron & Daves wedding.

It was an amazing day - I went to Inisbofin for the week and just loved every second of it! Bron is from Austrailia so 40 aussies descended onto the little Irish island where Dave grew up, and they had a 3 day wedding festival! The ceremony took place on the beach in the sun and the fog, and then the guests dined and danced in these amazing teepees just beside the beach untill the next morning - it was incredile!

Huge thanks to Bron & Dave for asking me to photograph their wedding - it was such a dream! Travelling over to a gorgeous island and then dancing into the night with all their lovely friends & family - did not feel like work!

Also big thanks to Kyle Tunney who came with me as assistant/second-shooter extraordinaire! (& Andy James & Deccie for coming out too!)

Just started this blog!

I've made this little corner of the internet to have as a portfolio of my Wedding photography!

I've just started this year getting into wedding photography and I absolutely love it. I began assisting other photographers and just loved the experience - the day is just mental; so much to do & remember, it's like a triathalon of every kind of photography there is, it's about the right gear, the right angles, the right exposures... but it's also just about people in love. Mums & daughters, sisters, friends, grandparents, the whole day just beams with love and excitement and it's unlike anything else to get to be there and try and capture it all.

I want to tell a story with the weddings I've photograph. Being in the brides house as early as she'll let me - catching all the gigles, tears, jewellry adjustments as they naturally happen, to the more frantic way groomsmen can cheekily throw themselves together! Catching toasts and hyper kids running about, to the guests milling around and seeing people they havent met for years, then all the special little moments in the ceremony - I can duck around without you noticing and freeze the memories because theyll probably fly past you! For the rest of the day, I can catch smiles and winks and hugs, then all the cringes & shocked faces during the speeches! And the first dance, and the second third forth fifth!

I'd descibe my style of wedding photography as very natural and relaxed, the buzzwords of 'candid' & 'reportage'/'documentary' style obviously fit this style as well, but I like to think of it as quite intimate as well. My goal would be for the photographs to reflect exactly how the day really felt for you & your family. I use natural light to really give the feel of genuine memories - so you don't remember me ever asking you to pose that way - in fact you mightnt notice all the the things I caught till you see the photos!

My other area of photography would be fine-art & fashion portraiture, where I like to create surreal scenes and conceptual pieces - this element I like to bring into the bride&groom portraits. For these, we need some time together after or before the ceremony, and I can direct you for some unique, romantic portraits of the two of you that are exactly your taste & style! Since I'm just beginning, I have so many ideas I want to try - and can run some past you in our consultation & plan some especially for you!

Taking Bookings for 2012!
