Wayne liked me because I have a Holga. I liked Wayne because he had a Holga and many other little lomo cameras. So Heidi had to like me because Wayne liked me and I liked Heidi. So, there you have it! They are getting married next year and i’m looking forward to it, these guys like different, which opens up a whole bag of ideas for me!

These guys spend a little bit of time at Hudsons, so that is where the session started… right from the beginning my ideas were a little bit out of centre but with these guys it was no problem.

We did settle down into some more regular shots, but look out for the wedding. I’m working on somthing very very special and also a bit different to compliment the regular wedding shots that I always take.

When Andrew and Claire’s wedding comes around next year, Andrew will officially be the Groom i’ve known the longest. I can actully remember Andrew being a cheeky little boy in nappies running around their house. Not too much is changed, except he is not requiring nappies anymore and he now gets told off by his soon to be wife not his mum!

So this is an engagement shoot in preperation for thebig day next year. It was fantastic to meet Claire and see these guys have a bit of fun together, mostly at each other’s expense. We had a great time taking these shots and I know we are going to get some really amazing images at the wedding.

The next one was Claire’s favoutire… not sure why it wasn’t Andrew’s!

Di and Sam recieved a gift shoot from a friend, thank’s Melita for introducing me to this fantastic couple! As it turned out these guys got engaged in Paris while they were on a holiday. Congratulations!

All these shots are taken about the Battery Point area, which is right near Salamanca and Sam’s new resturaunt Plum. More on that in an upcomming blog post.

It may not look like it but it was also raining a little and quite windy, which letus play with some umbrellas, one of which died immidiatly and the other just survived. I really had a great time shooting these guys, they both have such warn personalities and I can not wait to get down and check out Plum (in Salamanca Square) properly.

More soon from this Engagement session, can you guess the location?

This post is a little overdue, it was shot a couple of months ago. Georgina and Michael are getting married in a few weeks and were down to do some final arrangements. Of cousr, part of those arrangements were to meet their photographer and have an engagement portrait shoot.

After our initial meeting it was shoot time and we headed off far and wide to find locations, which were all within 50 meters of the office.

This is going to be a fun wedding, and yes Georgina, you look good in photos and there is no need to be scared. I’m really looking forward to shooting the big day in a few weeks, I may even refresh my knowledge by watching The Sound of Music!

Cam and Rosemary are getting a couple of big life events out of the way in a short amount of time. They are expecting their baby any day now and have planned the naming day to coincide with their wedding. So thats going to be a big day and i’m really looking forward to it!So first up it was the pregnancy / engagement shoot. We decided on the seaport area as it is where Cam proposed. So we went on a little walk, which apparently is quite a big walk when you are expecting.

And the final shot that says it all, pregnant and engaged! I can’t wait to meet the little one and I know it won’t be long till I do. Thanks again for the really fun shoot and see you again soon.
