Poonam & Grant Teaser

Just a quick teaser on an awesome wedding and a gorgeous bridal party last Saturday: Poonam & Grant’s Wedding.

It was Foreshore by the lake so we avoided the area for our traditional location photography with the bridal party. Instead, we headed to the General Governor’s house and spent almost the whole afternoon there.

Needless to say that the spot was very busy but as we were there the first ones, we had all the fun.

Check out the teaser.

Add Colour

After an awesome wedding on Saturday, I though I’d have some quality time chilling but it was raining outside. Nothing worse when it rain than not getting out and shoot.

Well, we didn’t shoot in the rain, Thanks to Jeff and Ailsa for opening the workshop on a Sunday afternoon to let me shoot there.

I knew Jeff & Ailsa, from Add Colour (76 Wollongong street, Fyshwick) for quite a few years now as they are the only premium quality printers, for big formats, that I am happy with.

We even played with Jeff’s car and I’d say that everyone enjoyed the location.

A big thank you as well for Jolina O’Hair for doing the make up for her sister in law, Jessica and the gorgeous Olga Valerie Shuster.

Big thank you to Isma Majeed for her awesome make up on Natalie Edwards and also to Kate Wal, who helped me with some of my previous shoots but this time, I shot her 🙂

I used only one light with a Mola beauty dish (Setti polished silver) for the whole session. More images coming soon.

Poonam & Grant – The Tuesday Hindu Wedding

I assisted to the rehearsal of Poonam & Grant’s Anglican Ceremony to day and tok a few photos.

I was about to post some up here but I am so excited about tomorrow’s Wedding that I decided to put up a few from Tuesday’s Hindu Ceremony.

What a fabulous Ceremony. I would stay up all night to edit the photos but I’d better pack and gt some sleep for tomorrow Anglican Ceremony.

Watch this space as more are coming up soon.

Poonam’s Henna

Poonam & Grant’s Wedding Photography has been planned for more than a year ahead and it finally took place, last Monday, by Poonam’s Henna.

It’s an awesome Indian tradition for the bride to be to wear the Henna, designed by very talented artists, Poonam’s Aunties, coming directly from India.

All the bridesmaids, of course, were present to have their Henna as well.

Yesterday was the traditional Hindu Ceremony, that took place  @ Rydges Capital Hill, Manuka.

Needless to say it was an awesome Ceremony, followed by the Reception where lots of traditions have been respected.

Here are some images from Poonam’s Henna while waiting for the edits of yesterday’s Wedding.

I can’t wait to capture their Anglican Ceremony this Saturday.

Al the best guys.

Aure & Sam

Last week was one of the longest one that I’ve had in a while:
From the launch of the Beaujolais Nouveau 2011, at the Alliance Francaise, on the Thursday, to a wedding location scouting session, on the Friday, then a long but awesome wedding shoot on Saturday followed by a photo shoot for a security company, shooting security staff at night clubs.
On the Sunday we had a Canberra Strobist shoot through out the day and I conclude with a shoot out at Mt Stromlo with one of my new investments: a Mola Setti, satin silver.

Not only I am a bit behind in the edits for past and up coming weddings, I wanted to share some of the images during this Mola shoot.
I had two models, Samantha, the brunette, who already spent the whole day at the Canberra Strobist shoot , and Aurelie, a gorgeous french blonde.
This shoot was set up in less than 3 days (I met Aurelie on Thursday and Sam on Saturday) which shows that real talents are always ready to go 🙂
A special thank to Kate Wal, who drove all the way to Mt Stromlo to do the make up for Aurelie. Also a mega mention to Isma Majeed, who did the make up for Sam which lasted the whole day (Kate did a bit of touch up for Sam’s lips though).

Mega thanks to all involved with a special mention to Linh, my beautiful wife for all her support in what I do.
Let’s make some rooms for some images.
