Dave & Georgie – Engagement fun! {Adelaide Wedding Photographer}

Posted in Adults

There is something exhilarating about a couple a few weeks before their wedding day. The excitement is there, the details all organised, the anticipation is building up, and nerves are no where to be seen, yet. I love to hear my brides talk about all the details, the dresses, the suits, the hair & make-up. What better time to do it than a few weeks before the wedding!

2 weeks ago I caught up with Dave & Georgie. Next week we will be celebrating their wedding and I CAN’T WAIT!!! I have known Georgie for years…… and I mean years!!! Back when I was a silly, pmiply little teenager! So the fact that she is entrusting me with the memories of her big day, well it means a lot!

Dave & Georgie are a super fun couple and oh so cute! We headed off down to the affectionately named “duck poo park”…. ahhhh could it be any more romantic? *cough*

I love engagement sessions! It allows me to watch the beautiful couple interact, without the stress of the wedding day. Engagement sessions are simply about the couple.

So…. meet Georgie & Dave!

We managed (actually they managed) to dodge the duck poo……. and had a wonderful session!

This apparently is the “Twilight” pose! They pull it off quite well don’t you think!

My favourite thing when photographing couples, is when they forget I’m there. That moment that they enjoy being in each other’s company so much… the world around them just fades, and it’s them. Just them.

Dave & Georgie, thank you so much for choosing me to be your photographer. It really is an honor (as are all my weddings!)

Dave – I wish you all the best for tonight, and hope that the guys go easy on you! :D

All the small things…. {Adelaide Wedding Photographer}

Posted in Wedding

Details…. ahhhhh details! J’aime, J’aime (I love, I love)

Ask any of my brides….. I love the little things that make up a wedding! The shoes, the rings, the flowers. The colour coordination, the wall decorations. The teeny tiny details that are agonized over for weeks before the big day, but quite often go by totally unnoticed on the day!

I make a big point to capture these details. I want you to be able to look back on your photos and remember just how perfect your day was!

Natalie and Adam’s wedding was no exception! I will start today with the details, and share more tomorrow! Oh and did I mention this was a SURPRISE wedding? No? Ohhh well I guess you’ll have to check back to read all about it! (Let me just say this…… it was FABULOUS!!!!)

So without further ado, I present to you the “small” things that went together perfectly to make one amazing day!

50 year Anniversary! (Minus 43 years) {Adelaide Photographer}

Posted in Adults, Couples

Meet Sam & Luke! Sam contacted me a few weeks ago about doing a shoot in celebration of their upcoming 7th wedding anniversary! Of course I was excited! She was after sunset / field shots that I had recently done with Shana (You can see that session here. Well unfortunately for us….. the council had decided to mow our beautiful block of land! :( So off location scouting it was! And boy did we find gold!

It was a gorgeous location, with stunning models and beautiful light! Seriously a photographers dream!

You’ll have to excuse the funny title of the post, not long into the session Luke had asked if they’d be able to book me in for their 50th wedding anniversary! Of course I agreed and we joked about different ways to do the shoot whilst in wheel chairs!

Anyways enough of my rambling, I’m sure Sam & Luke are dying to see their pictures!

See, what did I say? Models, location & light! Perfecto!

About 20 mins into the session I spotted up a stobie pole in the middle of nowhere about 200m up a steep hill…. so off it was we went!

Check out the flare I found up there!

Then back down the hill to the gorgeous… “weeds”

On to some individual shots! Sam was just stunning! Poor Luke. He is too funny and happy to be serious! I told him to do his “blue steel” face, and all we got was smiles and laughter!

I love to watch couples. Either in weddings or engagement shoots and especially anniversary session. I love to see what makes them tick and how they interact. Well in this particular couple Luke just adores Sam. It was so beautiful to watch! At times I felt like I was intruding on a special moment!

Sunset! Oh how I love sunset! Teamed with an of camera flash set up, you can pick up the gorgeous colours of the sky, while still lighting your subjects properly. This following shot actually happened! Yes the sky really was this gorgeous! We were so happy!

Sam & Luke, thank you so much for such a wonderful evening! We giggled, we laughed, we rolled around on the ground in hysterics! You were so willing to go with my crazy whims and it was an absolute delight to work with you!

A huge shout out to all the stinkin flies that thought they should join us! While my doing my “ninja” moves to get rid of them caused many laughs, I’m sure next time I will be fine with out you!
