Sunday, 11.00am -

With beautiful Blue skies Grant (my trusty assistant) and I headed out to Murrarie to catch up with Bec and the rest of the girls. Spirits were high and everyone was in for a big day !
Bec looked beautiful in her dress and the bridesmaids didn't disappoint either.

Ewan met us at Royal on the park where we made our way across to the botanical gardens in the city where the ceremony was held amongst the trees.

After the 'business' side of things was taken care of we spent the next hour or so around the city where we had many laughs with the bridal party while shooting our way towards sunset . We then headed back to Royal on the Park for the party to continue on into the night !




Bec & Ewan thanks for the great day & have an awesome honeymoon up in the Gold Coast hinterland ..

It's Friday !

It must be time for some Photography Humor ... !

QLD Fire and Rescue 2009 Female Firefighters Calendar

Well Sundays Shoot was Hot Hot Hot ! Literally...

I had the privilege of being asked to shoot this years Calendar for the girls of Queenslands Fire Fighting Service. The Calendar is a charity event raising money for Breast Cancer and pink Ribbon Day. So we headed off to Whyte Island Live Fire Campus where our Fireys do their training in all sorts of fire/chemical situations. We had the use of the grounds for most of the day so we had plenty of Fire action ! So keep an eye out for the calendar when it goes on sale as it's for a great cause !

Sale Venue's include:-

The Brisbane Exhibition (the Ekka)

The Cancer council Shops

Shopping centre displays

Festivals through out the year in Brisbane.

Mt Isa rodeo

How time flies ! It's been how many years ????

After my return from the Northern Territory, today was a public holiday here in Brisbane and we headed out for some lunch with good friends Glen & Liz and their two boys .. I first met these guys about 6-7 years ago when I photographed their eldest son Liam 6 (almost 7). So it's been a while since we had them in front of the camera. The weather was perfect for the pier and those dark clouds that loomed stayed away just long enough to let us grab a few shots .. This one pretty much sums up the energy these little guys have !

City Kid Heads North West for the Mad Hatters Tea Party / Wedding - Northern Territory !!

Last Thursday I flew to Nhulunbuy which is in the top end of the northern Territory for the wedding of Lyndsay & Dan. Lyndsay, like so many "brides to be" had found me via the internet and called to ask if I'd travel to Gove/Nhulunbuy for a wedding. Well my first response was "where??"..
So after Lyndsay filled me in on the details and told me that it would be a themed wedding how could I refuse !? Well was I in for a treat ! So it was off to Cairns and then onto Gove where Lyndsay & Daniel greeted me at the airport (actually they were 5 minutes late but I forgave them). They made up for it by shouting me a beer .. :O)

In the last 9 years photographing weddings I've not seen a dress as cool and funky as Lyndsay's - wow !


All the girls looked amazing in their dresses ! And Aimee was the perfect flower girl ..

Daniel & the boys looked the part and the ceremony went beautifully to plan ..

Dad was proud as punch to see his little girl get hitched and I can tell you there was the odd tear . These are those moment I just love to capture - you just can't explain the emotion, but I think this image shows it fairly well .

After the ceremony we headed off to a place the locals call "The Lagoon", here you'll find half a dozen Crocodiles and about a gazillion ants ! (big ones). But being the brave photographer I took it in my stride (always with one eye on the lagoon) and we had a great time !



When We'd finished with our location shoot it was time to head back to the Walkabout Lodge where Jarrod the Page Boy was playing a little Croquet - what else would you do at a mad hatters tea party !?

All in all it was great weekend and I have to thank Lyndsay & Daniel for showing me around their part of the world, it truly was a great experience ! guy's have an awesome time in Tassie and Congratulations on pulling off a truly stunning Wedding ! NT Style ..
