Selvy & Chris were our lucky last couple for 2008, they tied the knot at Bram Leigh Receptions which by the way the new owners have in tip top condition.  They met while both working at Red Rooster so that is where we did their pre wedding shoot to get them prepared for the big day.  They were both so happy all day and were a real joy to photograph.

I love getting shots with old cars and this Torana was a beauty.

Selvy’s bouquet was so vibrant which really suited the couple and the day.

I have been experimenting with sun flair and I love this shot the flair almost looks like the shape of a love heart.

A nice moment.

We kicked off this year with Mel & Matt’s wedding at a small church in Monbulk then up to Sky High Receptions to finish the day.  It was an intimate ceremony with Matt’s Uncle doing the honours and many family members and friends doing readings which really personalised it.  Mel & Matt were both great fun and it is the first time I have seen a bride climb a tree for a photo!

Guitar hero seems to be the new way to relax for the boy before the ceremony.

The girls were much more focused on the task at hand.

You can often see the relief and joy on the couples faces when they walk back down the aisle after the ceremony.

I liked the texture of this wall at Sky High.

A bride in a tree who would have thought!

Playing around with the sun and glare again, you always get an interesting picture.

Mel & Matt didn’t want a traditional cutting of the cake shot. so this was the result.

The last shot of the day of the bridal party of the balcony.

Ashleigh & Jason got married last Friday at Bram Leigh Receptions and they were both a lot of fun to photograph.  They were a pretty stylish couple so I tried to capture that in the images.

There were some cool old rustic sheds at Jason’s parents house which worked well in these shots.

Ashleigh getting ready.

Ashleigh’s dress was a beautiful flowing dress which worked well in this shot.

I like to get down and include the sky in the background on days where it is bright blue for some added colour.

Derry & Eric were the first wedding couple to book from the new studio and they got married on Saturday at Lakeside Cottagein Kilsyth.  Lakeside cottage is a new venue that has just started operating and is fantastic for garden weddings.  Derry & Eric are a lovely couple and just wanted fun, natural shots of them and their families.

The ring wouldn’t fit!

There is a fantastic view of the Dandenongs from the front of the property.

The classic cars really suited the day and the venue.

You can get some great candids of kids at weddings.

A nice moment just before the cutting of the cake.

Shane & Tara got married on the 6th of September at White Chapel in Langwarrin, like most of our couples they are very laid back and just wanted some fun arty images of their day.

When you make it fun for them you can get some great shots like this that have real emotion. 

The boys enjoying a beer before the ceremony.

Their son Cooper didn’t know what all the fuss was about and just wanted to play his computer game.

Shane might look pretty relaxed but he was quite nervous in this shot just minutes before the ceremony.

After the ceremony we went down to the beach at Mornington and got some striking images of the happy couple.
