The Batblog by Photobat | Portrait and Wedding

 Photobat’s very own Matt is getting married today!

Here is a photo of him with a shoe. This one is going to massive!

More to come!

Wayne and Heidi had a fantastic little wedding out in the country. At Strathmore to be precise, I had not shot a wedding out there for a couple of years and was very glad to see it is all looking very nice and provided a lot of opportunities.

The wedding was quite informal, Bar Youd did her usually fantastic job, Wayne said his things, Heidi said here things, there were tears and in the end they were married! We could tell from the first time we met up with Wayne and Heidi that this wedding was going to be fun. Not too serious and a lot of laughing. I like happy people, and if you mix their natural happy with the happy of their wedding you get quite a lot of happy.

 Heidi is pretty talented too, she designed her dress (her mother made it) and made the cake. Wayne assures me he assisted well in the cake making, mostly with the grating!

 Thanks again you guys for the really fun day, there are so many more shots that you are going to love, well I know we love them here, so I’m sure you will love them too! Don’t shoot too much film in NZ!

Last week in Queensland, I managed to shoot a few holga frames. Unfortunantly the 4 years out of date including 2 years in the car, 800 ISO film, that was scanned in the airport xray, produced no images

A quick post from the weekend, the wedding out at Strathmore was another great one, Wayne and Heidi had perfect weather for the location and look at what happened towards the end of the day. More to come later in the week.

And the AIPP exhibition is up at K&H café on George St in Launceston. It features many of the AIPP members from all over the state, displaying images that have won some awards in the last year. It is open until the 4^th of April, with the official opening happening on the 4^th of March, next Wednesday night at 6pm. If you want to come, please send me an email and let me know so we can make sure you get a drink.

Clive asked me to come to a hotel to take a photo of a person called Tanya.
I took her photo, this isn’t it.
You can see Clive live in person here.

Find out what happened in a couple of weeks!

Paint the walls, check.

There are occasionally some posts that slip through the batblog-a-sphere and don’t get posted. Over the next few weeks I will be trying to catch up. So we will start with this shoot of the Young Family, shot just before Christmas. Vicki was a bridesmaid in a wedding I show many years ago, I think it may have been in my second season. The session involved was mainly about getting some shots of her two beautiful girls who were an absolute delight and a bit of fun to photograph. Plus the kittens, real kittens and a grown up one!
