Stacey & Joe’s Wedding – Melbourne

JD — Mon, 03 May 2010 05:40:03 +0000

The weddings get a bit more challenging this time of year with the light fading earlier than summer and the weather being much more unpredictable. But the challenges that brings also makes it fun and mixes it up a little and keeps me on my toes which I love.

Stacey & Joe really did have four seasons in one day but they just rolled with it and we got some lovely images that really depict Melbourne and their relationship. They were fantastic to work with and got married in one of the most beautiful churches in Melbourne – St Pat’s Cathedral which was a photographers dream to shoot in and around.

I love shots like this and the happiness and excitement they capture.

Joe is a mad football supporter so we got this shot with the MCG in the background from their reception room at the Langham.

Melbourne Zoo Weddings

We have been lucky enough to photograph two weddings at Melbourne Zoo this month which is a real treat as you get a chance to photograph in some beautiful gardens and with animals in the background that you can’t get anywhere else. We were fortunate to have great weather and animals that weren’t camera shy which helped get some unique and fun images.

I am always looking for ways to better my photography and get a different and edgy look so I have been experimenting with a new lens with great success that you will see in a few shots below. I think it is important not only to have a photographic record of your wedding day but an artistic one and a take on your wedding that is unique and truly you, if I can capture that for every wedding then I feel I have done my job well.

On a side note the wedding photo of the year contest came to a close today so the winner will be announced tomorrow for all those interested.

Melbourne Wedding Photos

On Saturday we had our first wedding for a while and it was good to get out into the Melbourne cityscape and get some great pictures. Eric & Elaine and their bridal party braved the cold weather and turned it on for the camera and as a result we captured some great photographs of their big day. We started the day in Hawthorn & Kew for the getting ready images then onto St. John’s of Toorak for the ceremony. With the rain holding off we had time to go to Parliament & Carlton Gardens before heading back to the beautiful Langham Hotel for the reception.

With all the weddings we shoot we capture the day as it happens and not get caught up in posing or staging the day too much and go for a much more natural fun style. Approaching the day this way puts the couple at ease and allows us to capture the moments that unfold at a wedding truthfully and in a relaxed fashion.

In the end it is all about having fun and enjoying the experience after all it is your wedding day!

The little blue box – every brides dream

The sun was out early so we used it to our advantage to get this great portrait of Eric

This is a great photograph of Elaine’s dad seeing her in her dress.

Elaine made sure Eric’s Bonbonniere had a special message.
