Michelle + Haidon | Adelaide Wedding Photographer

A while ago I had the amazing opportunity to second shoot a wedding with two new friends Kristy Barnes from Moments of Forever Photography and Donna Solowij.  They welcomed me with open arms and friendly chatter even though we had only met just moments before the wedding ceremony! I had such a great time shooting alongside these two wonderful ladies and can’t wait to be able to do it again sometime.

The wedding of Michelle and Haidon was at Sefafino’s at McLaren Vale on a gorgeous sunny Saturday.  After the beautiful ceremony by the lake we hightailed it around the corner and took some photos in the Leaconfield Winery vineyard – the light was AH-mazing!

A big thank you to Michelle and Haidon for letting me photograph their special day and an even bigger thank you Kristy for allowing me to second (or third!) shoot with her.

Enjoy!

Things I Love...Styling...

Waiting at the bus stop a few days ago I was admiring the colours of the roses outside the local church. They were nearly past their use-by date and I knew they weren’t going to last much longer so later that night Luke and I wandered down there and I….umm…borrowed(?) some to make my own little styled set-up.

Luke and I have a great cane chair that we picked up at a second-hand store a while back to use on location shoots so I had grand plans to set-up the roses and other little pretty things around the house to pull together my idea.

We live in a unit which adjoins 3 others so I’m not sure what our neighbours thought of me setting this up on the front lawn as I started snapping away!

I absolutely love the colours of the roses together combined with the mirror photo frame. The photo in the frame is one Luke and I took at the Adelaide Botanic Gardens last year (we did our own little photo shoot on self-timer and then gave the pics to family for Christmas).

Enjoy. X

The Nikon AIPP Event...

For a photographer the chance to learn from the best, mingle with fellow photographers, test out equipment, chat to vendors is an opportunity that can't be missed. The Nikon AIPP Event is in it's second year and since it was coming to Adelaide it was unmissable! The experience was amazing.

Luke and I opted to attend for just one day and got to listen to some of Australias best photographers...
We saw Andris Apse' amazing landscape photography and heard about how he captured some of them - you wouldn't beleive some of his stories; we learnt lighting tips and tricks from the lighting guru Rocco Ancora; Tony Hewitt ran us through a refresher on client communication; and lastly, while Luke heard from Nick Ghionis, I went to an intimate workshop with Susan Bryce and learnt the in's and out's of her highly regarded posing techniques. Bliss.

Yeh we are photography geeks and loved every minute of it...

(Yep, we're cool :S)
