When I walked into Melanie’s hotel room to do my getting-ready-for-the-big-day pics and was greeted with a room full of women, the first thing I heard was: “Oh, he’s so good looking!”. Nice. Thanks. It set the tone for the day : )

Here’s the first wedding portrait from a series of gothic-influenced images. It’s now Sunday morning and it’s been less than 12 hours since I left the reception, so this is just a sneak peek. Stay tuned for more later in the week.

Melanie and Jordan ~ you rock. It was a pleasure photographing your special day.

Allison and Iannis are a very sweet couple. They had commissioned the studio to photograph their wedding without having met me in person. We met for the first time a few days prior to their tying the knot.

Many thanks to associate photographer Alex for capturing moments and the finer details of the museum. The museum has a lot of glass which can be a challenge with reflections and glare.

Congratulations to Allison and Iannis! If the happy newlyweds have provided you with login details to their complete Gallery Collection, please click here.

The Groom looks up at his parents while sitting in the Mandap during this traditional Hindu wedding ceremony.

Indian weddings are wonderful to photograph because of their rich, colourful traditions, much like Chinese weddings.

Rohini and Kunal’s was a traditional Hindu Celebration. The rituals of the Hindu wedding ceremony are based upon the hymns contained in the Veda, which are sacred Hindu scriptures, and have remained unchanged for over 5,000 years. The proceedings are conducted in Sanskrit, believed to be the world’s oldest language, and include rituals performed by the bride, groom and the bride’s close family members.

It was an honour to photograph such a special day. Congratulations to the Newlyweds!

Typically we showcase Fine Art Highlights Galleries here on our Blog. However, we’re going to soon be introducing some upgrades to our Blog (Oops – consider that a news leak!). To avoid any interuptions, we’re hosting the Gallery on our Image Archive and Client Access Website. Click here to view Rohini and Kunal’s Fine Art Highlights Gallery.

A sweet day for a sweet couple.

Chris and I had done a location scout together to suss out the venue in case we were treated to a full day of rain, to see what our options were. So while we had a weather plan in place, we didn’t need it! The sun shone. A gentle breeze in the air.

The day was just lovely. After a beautiful ceremony and fun portrait session, what really struck me were the dinner-time speeches. Heartfelt. Funny. Genuine. I had a great time chatting with friends and family, too.

Thank you for having me as part of your big day! Congratulations to the Newlyweds. I hope you have an incredible honeymoon in Italy.

Trevor, while you may have kicked Thalia’s butt with the stone throwing, I have to say it looked like she edged past you in the sprint on the beach! 

Thanks for a fun afternoon. I’m looking forward to photographing your wedding next year.

For the photographers out there, yes it was a bit technical. Thal and Trevor are dark skinned, but with very different skin tones. Trevor with a bright shirt and occasional bright sun added to the fun. I made sure to keep my shadows and highlights in check on the fly.

Here are just a few of my selects. Enjoy.
