Louise and Nick - August 23rd 2009

This weekend was a busy one with Alex and Jodie heading out to a second wedding on Sunday.

There was a little bit of drama when the bride was informed that the limousine had been involved in an accident on the way to picking her up, but plans were quickly changed and Louise arrived to walk up the aisle to Nick, just as planned.

Congratulations on your marriage, Louise and Nick!

Tamarind & Greg - 22nd August 2009

Congratulations to Tam and Greg!

School Daze - Caricatures

These images were a part of a concept shoot I photographed back in April. I wanted to make a caricature of the classroom stereotypes that we've all been exposed to at one point or another.

The children on this shoot were not models. They are students at the school that my two sons attend (my sons are 'class clown', 'nerd' and 'messy kid' ). ALL of the children were amazing and a whole lot of laughs.

Remember to check out the expressions on the faces of this kids in the background. Some of them are truly brilliant.

Enjoy!

Shannon and Shade; Pre-wedding photos

Shannon and Shade's wedding is quickly approaching so we headed out to the Mt Cootha Botanical Gardens for the pre-wedding shoot.

Pre-wedding (or e-shoots) are great for both the photographer and the couple to get to know each other and encourage a bit of bonding between them before the big event. After all, the photographer is the person who will be by your side for the entire day and if you can't relax around them, it's going to show in the images.

Shannon and Shade are a lot of laughs and completely at ease in front of the camera. Shade's sense of humour sparkled within about three photos when he remarked he should have been a model. I think he might be right!

I can't wait for this wedding as I'm sure it's going to be alot of fun with this gorgeous and vibrant couple. Bring on August 29th!

Vanessa and Warren - Maternity Photography

Vanessa is one of our all time favourite brides who has returned for her maternity shoot. She is always smiling and so radiant that she lights up a room.

Even heavily pregnant she is still walking her dogs regularly and keeping active so I knew I wanted to photograph her away from the studio... a bit of a change from my usual maternity images.

We came back to the studio and managed to convince Warren to get into the spirit of the shoot and show some skin along with Vanessa. These two are still as gorgeous together as they day they were married.

When it came to the tail end of the shoot, Vanessa was keen to try a tulle shot but told me she wasn't a, "girly-girl", so didn't want to be draped in it. We worked out an alternative as seen here in the slideshow.

Only a few more weeks until we meet the newest little Armstrong. I can't wait!
