Today’s wedding was just gorgeous. Makes me realise that I am very lucky to be able to do what I do..

Here is one of my favourites from today. More to come with this wedding very soon….

Zoe and Vince had a lovely wedding day a couple of Saturday’s ago. While it was a long day for us, it was lots and lots of fun. Both Zoe’s and Vince’s family were so hospitable and looked after us all day. There are LOTS of photos from this wedding, I just had too many favourites. I am looking forward to sharing the rest with Zoe and Vince soon.

Tim & Kate were my first cab off the rank for the new wedding season, and it was a lovely relaxing way to start.

Tim had been in a previous bridal party, the wedding of Kat & Matt, so he had been the subject of many of my photos before. The rain held of long enough for some lovely shots down by Matilda Bay.

Hope you are having a great honeymoon guys and see you when you get back!

It’s time for E-Sessions! I love them, they are relaxed, casual and a great way for all of us to get comfortable with each other.

Rebecca and Craig met me up at King’s Park last Saturday afternoon for what was the first of three sessions this weekend. They brought along a special guest too, Rebecca’s son. E-Sessions don’t just have to be for the bride and groom, extras are allowed too!

We had a lovely afternoon at the park and here are some of my favourites. Rebecca & Craig’s wedding is in November out in the Swan Valley and it should be beautiful.

Well, I am back from holiday… much to my disappointment! No, I really LOVE New Zealand and could be tempted to move there one day, but happy to be home and back in to things. Nothing like your own bed after a long holiday, especially when you have been sleeping in a campervan for almost a month!

The WAPP awards are held annually and you can enter into many different categories. I entered wedding only this year as I was trying to ease myself into it. You submit three prints which form your ‘folio’. Based on this folio, the judges decide who is the winner of the category and then select what they deem to be your best print out of the three. This is the print that gets judged in front of everyone.

The day after I got back from New Zealand, it was the print judging for the WAPP awards. This is the first year I had entered so I was very nervous. I had a knot in my stomach the whole day, even through categories I hadn’t even entered! After sitting there for nearly 9 hours, the wedding category came up and I really started feeling sick.

Part of the nervousness is that you don’t know which print they are going to bring up.. I kept peeping around the corner to see if I was next, finally my print came up. The print they chose was a bridal portrait of Jee that I just love. I was glad they picked that one. I got a score of 84 which is really good. I was one point off a distinction award which was kind of a bummer, but 84 is a great score, especially for my first entry.

It was a great experience and I have had some advice on the print and how it could score higher so I will be tweaking a few things and entering it into the Australia wide competition next year.

Here are the three prints I entered, let me know what you think!

Just to let everyone know I am heading off to New Zealand today for some holidays in the snow!

I will have acces to internet so should still be able to receive emails, but I am unsure about coverage so I apologise in advance for any delays in responding.

I will be back into work full time from the 30th of August so will get back to anyone I missed after then.. Here are a couple of shots from when I was there last year… Hopefully lots more gorgeous photos to come!

Have a great August!

Last week I had a week away from the daily grind and went over to Rottnest for a bit of relaxation. I was with 3 other photographers who were also there for some chilling out and some exploring. I did mostly relaxing… I really needed it! I only took a few photos so here are a couple I like.

The one above it actually SUNRISE! I haven’t seen one of those is a long while…

These two are from my Fuji Instax… I love it.
