The Batblog by Photobat | Portrait and Wedding

Jarod and Liz are from Sydney. They met on Flickr and 1000 days later they were in Hobart getting married. I’m not going to say how cool and how much fun these guys are, i could, but i though you should check the photos here and then head on over and meet them (and Train who made a 2D appearance at the wedding) at their blog at jarodandliz.com . Congratulations again Liz and Jarod, it was awesome shooting and being at your big little day in Tasmania

I just got back from Hobart and Jarod and Liz’s Elopement at the spectacular Islington Hotel. A great spot for a wedding and a dream for a wedding photographer. Congratulations again Jarod and Liz!

So this shoot may have almost been too much fun and the cool thing is that there is a wedding in the future with these too which i’m sure will push the fun into overdrive! Nick and Rhea came all the way from their little home in Japan for the shoot (they may have come to see family for Christmas and have an engagement party too, but i’m sure the engagment photography session was the main reason )

The plan, lets meet and Jackman and Ross. It was closed. So we just wandered the steets of Battery Point and took some awesome shots, had lots of laughs and generally had a very fun time.

Kangaroo Bluff is a great place for firing a canon. It’s not a bad place for an engagement portrait session either. That’s where Craig and Nyree come in. They are tying the knot next year and live not too far from this historic site, so it proved a great backdrop for their engagement session.

These guys were alot of fun to photograph, really playful, and so was Sprocket the award winning high jumping dog. I also met another main player in Craig’s life during the shoot, his car. No photo of the car as yet, saving those for the wedding post next year. It will be worth the wait, it’s a pretty cool car.

It isn’t every wedding that you get to go where you want to, shot how you want to, shoot people about some of the best things Launceston has to offer and share a fantastic day with a couple from the other side of the world who just happen to be getting married on that day too.

David and Amy choose Launceston to elope to and Tasmania to honeymoon in. With Barb Youd as the celebrant and Photobat as the photographers, we guarentted them a totally great wedding experiance plus we gave heaps of info on the best spots to go in Tasmania. Barb even leant them some gators! She really is a super celebrant!

There were so many fantastic moments in the day, lunch at Josef Chromy, the ceremony at Strathlynn where the clouds put on a fantatic show, getting kicked out of the MTT Bus Terminal and then exploring Coats Patons.

These guys were personality plus, amazing people and we are so thankful to have spent the time getting to Amy and David and getting them some of our best photos to show off to their family and friends back in the US!

We may have had too much fun with this one, it was only an elopement but Amy said those words “So, where have you not shot wedding photos but want to?”
More next week

Last week while the world was watching an election in a far away land, I was out witnessing Michael and Georgina exchange vows at the Red Feather Inn. Another special thing about this elopement was that it was shared with their son Remi, who was the ring bearer.

These guys are worldly, meeting in London and eventually settling down in Warnambool and then deciding to get married in Tasmania.

 The girls from the Red Feather were in tears!

 After the ceremony we took a few photos around the property and in the Inn itself.

Meanwhile, super celebrant Barb Youd was busy looking after Remi and eventually got him to sleep!

I hope you guys had the most amazing time in Tasmania and i’m sure you will be back. I’m looking forward to showing you the rest of your photos soon. Thank you again for letting us share your elopement.
