Sara & Michael

Well the Easter Bunny has been and I decided not to work over the break this year but spend the break with the family, so now back from our weekend away I thought I'd better post last weekends wedding.

Sara & Michael - 15th of March 2008

Sara was a picture of Beauty in her dress as were her Brides Maids ..

Sara & Michael were married at St Brigids Church Red Hill, it was a beautiful ceremony and there was the odd tear ..


I'd shot Michael's Sisters wedding a few years ago so it was nice to see Brenda & Scott (+1) again too.

Sara & Michael were a dream to shoot ! we pretty much laughed all day and the whole Bridal Party had a ball !


Congratulations once again guys & have a great honeymoon !

It's been a busy week !

Well, it's been a busy week this week shooting a lot of commercial images during the week and then Yesterday it was off to the city for Adam & Penny's Wedding.
And what a beautiful Wedding it was too .. We started our day with the girls over at Milton where Penny looked absolutely stunning in her dress !

We met the Boys at the rotunder at Newstead Park where it was a tad windy , but the beautiful blue sky had everyone in great spirits !It's always great to see that veil take off ! After the ceremony we spent a bit of time in and around the city before wrapping things up at River Side Receptions ..


Congratulations Penny & Adam on a beautiful day & I wish you guys all the best for your future together !

Sarah & Grant - 2nd Feb

Well with a wet start to the the day I thought I may have had to drag out the trusty umbrellas but the rain had cleared by mid-morning and it ended up a beautiful day ! Sarah looked gorgeous in her dress and Grant a handsome groom ! Sure there may have been a hiccup or two (Grant I won't say anything about you forgetting your flowers if you don't, wink wink) but after Mum got back with the boys flowers we headed into the church and it was a beautiful ceremony ! It was off to Shorncliffe Pier for a few photos and then back to Victoria Park Golf Club for the reception .. Have a great time in Thailand guys and Congratulations once again !

Fraser Island • Queensland

Well it was off to Fraser Island on Friday for a few days, mixing work
with pleasure. We stayed in a beautiful house at Orchid Beach
(up the Northern End of the island). Whilst I was there with the
family to enjoy a few days R&R I did have a job to do !
Well, sort of ....
Shooting a few pics of the house we stayed in for for some friends
(if you can call that work).
So I was able to duck off and shoot a few images for myself too ..













The best part about this shot was
the coconut smiled on cue ..
no blinks either ...

Fraser Island truly is a beautiful part of Australia, oh and it's big !
124 Kilometers big !













One of the local dingoes
taking a break ..
Fraser is well known for its
Dingo population.




















The views at daybreak are spectacular !













"The Maheno"

En route to Japan, in cyclonic
conditions her tow rope broke
and she came to grief on the
eastern beach of Fraser Island.
That was back in 1935













The Champagne Pools are located
just North of Indian Head, along
75-mile beach. These pools provide
a very popular swimming hole with
the ocean crashing over the rocks
into shallow sandy pools. The foaming water is where the name
Champagne Pools comes from.













Errrrr..... Rock Slime .....

So there you have it, a few of the shots taken in three days on the island, traveling with a wife and two kids too !

Indy 2007 - Gold Coast


Looking over some recent work I thought I'd share some shots that were taken at last years Indy on the Gold Coast - I was lucky enough to get myself a trackside access all areas pass and the end result was about 4000 shots ..!! This was a nice change for me as sports photography isn't an area I've ventured into much, but I had a ball. I have a gallery with about 150 or so shots in it ..
You can click here to view them all. It truly was a great experience !

The Drought Breaker to Kick the Year Off!!!

Kym and Paul's wedding on 4 January 2008 had to be the wettest day Brisbane has had in a very long time! Apparently there was 36mms of rain in about 20 minutes*. But these guys were fine about it - they weren't going to let downpours destroy their wedding day!
