Vietnam Trip

Friday, February 5, 2010 at 5:01PM

Goooooooooooooooood Moooooorning Vieeeeeetnam...

Ok, I know it's been done before. But hey, it is still something you just have to do :)

Just a quick blog update to let everyone know that Sarah and I will be in Vietnam until the end of February. Sarah and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary in January so this was our present to each other, pretty cool hey! Vietnam is somewhere we have wanted to visit for a long time. Living in London and Canada when we were younger was fun but we really wanted to travel somewhere which was so totally different to our own country. Whilst Vietnam is rapidly progressing, hopefully it is still a long way away from what we know. Plus how good will the food be :)

We will be back in the studio on the 01 March 2010 returning all phone calls and answering non urgent emails.

If you are a new bride and groom looking for your wedding photographer please still send through your enquiry using the contact us page as we will be checking our emails whilst away and will still be setting up new appointments for March.

If you are a current bride and groom and have a question about your wedding or just need some advice please send me an email and I will reply when we are checking emails every couple of days.

So to finish off here are a few of my favourite images of the awesome wedding we shot yesterday of Sian & Johnny. Sarah and I were really looking forward to this wedding up in the mountains. Yes, it was the wettest wedding we have ever shot. Yes, it did not stop raining AT ALL. Yes, there was SO much fog I could hardly see anyone. No, we didn't let it stop us having fun.

For brides that have to get married on a rainy day, this is how you do it. You buy funky gum boots, you don't worry about getting wet and you have a lot of fun!

Did I mention the fog?

8:00pm, main road of Katoomba, heavy fog, crouching in the middle of the road... I was sure the cars would not see me!!!

Bye - See you all in 3 weeks!

Stephanie & Nathan

Wednesday, February 3, 2010 at 3:22PM

Last weekend Stephanie and Nathan got married in what can only be described as a beautiful intimate wedding with close family and friends in attendance. Everyone there was so happy for Stephanie & Nathan, you could just tell.

Stephanie & Nathan got married at the beautiful Watsons Bay Church in Watsons Bay and then moved on to L'Aqua for the reception.

I thought I would start the images off with a shoe shot, since I have not posted one for a while.

LOVE this expression on Mum's face while Stephanie was getting her makeup finished.

Champagne coloured Bently's are the ONLY way to ride!

The only way I could get them to kiss was if I hid in the bushes. Glad i did though :)

Loved the cake figurines :)

Nothing like some shadow dancing at a wedding reception. I must admit, until they worked out why I was taking so many photos of a wall I did some get some very strange looks by the guests :)

Enjoy your honeymoon guys.

Sandra & Mina - Married

Friday, January 29, 2010 at 10:57AM

Sitting here typing this post whilst the sun is shinning outside I wish we had this weather last weekend. No. Instead we had +35degree heat in the morning, severe wind/sand storm in the afternoon followed by a thunderstorm and heavy rain a few hours later. Yep, the weather made things interesting.

Luckily for us Sandra & Mina didn't let it faze them. There is nothing you can about the weather.

Now, I always thought it was just the girls that needed ALL their posse to help them get dressed. Obviously not :)

Sandra's dress was stunning. I love detailed shots of the dress.

I always take way too many shots of cute little flower girls. Abby was no exception.

Sandra looking stunning and all that :)

Love this next shot of Mina meeting Sandra and her dad at the front of the church.

I am sure Mina will blame the smoke for the tears. Yeah right.

Thanks Sarah for grabbing this next shot. Love it.

It was actually pouring down so hard at this stage. Thanks to the groomsmen for holding umbrellas over me.

A quick break in the rain allowed me to grab this shot out the car window. Cool shot of the Deblanco wedding cars heading over the Anzac Bridge.

Australia Day in Sydney - Sarah's HiJack

Wednesday, January 27, 2010 at 9:50PM

Hi, it's Sarah hijacking the blog again.

I promise all my hijack posts won't be focussed around our kids, but I had to share with you the latest 2 day family adventure we've had. With Australia Day yesterday and Andrew's birthday today (yah happy birthday babe) we decided to make a mini-holiday out of the 2 days and stay the night in a hotel in the city.

Yesterday morning we caught the rivercat into town (huge props to Sydney Ferries for not charging any one, how Australian!). The day was spent hanging out in the city, soaking up the Aussie day festivities around Darling Harbour and watching the fireworks. Although we nearly melted in the heat yesterday the kids had a BALL!

Here are my favs.....

This building / walkway has about 4 escalators in it. The kids went up and down ALL of them at least 3 times!

To Karl & Bec - remember that copying is the ultimate form of flattery ;)

Hmmm, nothing like a marshmallow chocolate fondue to keep the energy levels up. Yes, it was originally meant to come with fruit but we opted for more sugar.

4 hours sitting in the scorching sun. These bubble guns were the best $15 ever spent.

While I took Kobi and Sienna to get drinks Andrew & Jett were left to guard our spot. Jett thought that shooting people with the bubble gun was the best option. This included shooting 6 Riot Police as they walked past (Andrew didn't dare take that shot!)

Broken Princess.

This is SO typical Sienna!

Just a few people turned up to watch the fireworks. Oh, we LOVE 4000 ISO :)

Breakfast today at Cockle Bay Wharf for Andrew's B'Day.

More milkshakes. More Sugar.

Ok, well at least one of my kids listen to me when I ask them to line up. Maybe it's the sugar?

I hope everyone had a great Australia Day. Like always, make me feel special by leaving me a comment :)

Until next time.

Christina & Daniel's Wedding

Wednesday, January 20, 2010 at 9:55PM

Sitting here at my computer tonight, I was trying to find the right style for Christina & Daniel's images. I think I found it after listening to some Pantera! That one's for you Daniel, I don't actaully have any Pantera in my iTunes. Sorry :)

Christina & Daniel's wedding was fun. Christina was fun. Daniel was fun. The bridal party were fun and Christina's Dad was hilarious! It is always great to see the father of the bride on his daughter's wedding day. I can't wait until it is my turn. Ok, so I can.

The Boys were super relaxed in the morning which was great because it was HOT. We headed to the beach and only lasted 10 min before it was way too hot.

Like the boys, the girls were super relaxed as well. I always laugh at how much of a mission it is too get into a wedding dress. Us boys have it so easy!

LOVE these next two shots.

The ceremony was held at St Michael's golf club. I have said it before but Peta from St Michael's golf club is a great wedding co-ordinator and everything always runs so smoothly there.
