Carys & Bradley

It was a nice and warm day at the Snowy Mountain and it was certainly a beautiful day to get married.

I had the joy to photograph Carys’ sister’s wedding about 3 years ago and it is a real pleasure to capture Carys & Brad special Day.

It all started in a very funny, almost scary way:

Before getting there, I checked the weather and special snow report. It said maximum 4 degrees and minimum -7 degrees Celsius. It’s planned to be a bit cold.

I decided to put on my ski gear, as we planned to take some chair lift to go up to the mountain to have some photos, and it was … 18.5 degrees 🙂

Needless to say that all the guests were nicely dressed up and I was in a big fat ski outfit.

Carys & Brad are such a lovely couple that they had fun out of it, so were the guests.

It was a very nice an cosy wedding with the Ceremony at the Jen Paul II Ecumenical Centre, at Thredbo and the Reception at the Lake Crakenback Resort.

For the location photography with the bridal party, we went around the Church and the resort and came up with some of these images.

Thanks again to Carys & Brad for having chosen NOMAD PHOTOGRAPHY to capture their precious moments.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

M3

I am so behind of my edits (and so busy with my shoots) that I though I’d post these newly edited from a long away shoot, while waiting for the batteries to charge for a long shoot tomorrow.

It was M3.

Alana & Daniel

It was a rainy day but the wedding I had the joy to capture was very glamour and lot of fun.

I met Alana & Daniel for more than two years now and they asked me to capture their Wedding more than a year ago.

Their Wedding has been captured entirely inside the Hotel Realm, not only because of the rain but also because the Hotel Realm is such a nice place to photograph (I did a fashion shoot for the Your Local Wedding Guide bridal magazine here along with a few fashion shoots).

We had so much fun in the Executive suites, the lounges, the Borad room and also in the lobby.

For this particular wedding, I had the joy to have TomKat Photography (www.tomkatphotography.com) coming from Sacramento and Viet as my first assistant.

Here are a few images from the Wedding and some of behind the scene shooting with TomKat Photography.

More to come …

The Real M

I took along my short trip to Vegas my MacBook Pro and the raw files from the Shooting Goodbye session and I’d say that Vegas is not a place to stay in the hotel and edit… 😀

After some fun, and a long and hard labor week end (Wedding Fair) I decided that I had to spend some time to do some edits (after playing a little bit with the kids, of course).

The credits for the make up go to Bindi Kelly (make up for Ali and the boys, Ben & Nigel) and Kate Wal (make up for Stefania Kightley & Stephanie Dontadd) along with the talents of the models.

Special thank to Ali once again for bringing along the lovely Mr. Speck. I really hope you’ll enjoy Sydney and looking forward to catching up with you very often.

Stick around as more images from Vegas and the wedding fair are coming very soon.

PS: The shoot took place at the Hotel Realm (thanks Ben) and I though it’d be cool to name it “The Real M” as it follows the Project M series that I’ve been shooting recently.

Shooting Goodbye

Last Thursday shoot was a particular one as I “shot” one of my models, and friend, Ali Bromley just before she leaves to Sydney.

The shoot was particular in the way that it was planned in a very short time and we kept changing the theme all the time. I may say that arriving on set, I even didn’t know what exactly I was going to create.

The location was once again provided by the handsome Ben Appleton, we shot in the Penthouse of the Hotel Realm, in Barton, Canberra.

I wanted to play with colours and shooting a low key fashion session so I just brought a few small flash guns and mainly prime lenses.

The session was shot with a Canon 1D Mark IV along with the Canon EF 24 f/1.4 L II, 24 mm f/3.5 TSE L II, 50 f/1.2 L and 85 f/1.2 L II. One zoom lens was in the bag, the EF 16-35 f/2.8 L II.

Ali was wearing the make up by Bindi Kelly.

Other models on the set were Stefania Kightley and Stephanie Dontadd.

The make up for both models was by Kate Wal.

I also had the services of two male models, Nigel Hawkins and of course Ben Appleton (both make up by Bindi Kelly).

There was a special guest: Mr Speck the green python (coming along with Ali) and an unexpected and handsome guest Robert Boseski, Steffie’s boyfriend.

We had fun. More to come.
