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.

Nikki & Leigh

I knew Nikki and her family for a few years now and it is with a joy and honor to capture her special day last Saturday.
The beautiful bride was wearing an awesome red dress and the handsome groom had a classy suits.
The Ceremony took place at the famous Chapel @ Gold Creek and the reception at Functions @ Federations. The food is as always excellent and the reception went through the night with guests on the dance floor.
Here are a few images from Nikki and Leigh’s Wedding. We wish them all the best for their new life.

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.

L.A. the BTS

This shoot was way back in July but I didn’t really have time to edit the BTS (Behind The Scene) video.

Today I thought I’d sit down and do a quick one that I want to share.

Model: Lauren Ashley

MUA & Hair Stylist: Dave Reid

Flick the video in full screen and full HD mode.

Mola in da house

The postman stopped by today to drop a big box: a Mola Setti beauty dish.

Thanks to Bang & Thuy @ TomKat Photography to do some shopping for me.

When I finished setting it up, I couldn’t resist to do a quick test shoot. By 11pm, it’s not easy to find a model around so I did some stills from whatever was hanging around.

Shot with a Canon 5D and a Carl Zeiss lens. Photos pretty much straight out of camera and cropped in post.

Click on these links to see more details (Photo1, Photo2, Photo3).

Needless to say that I am planing a shoot very soon to push this “little” beauty to her limits.

Check this space soon.

Rochelle & BJ.

Rochelle is a very well organized young lady, I remember the first time I met her for a chat to discuss about her wedding photography.
It was more than 9 months ago and Rochelle had her little diary with her where every details for the wedding planning were sorted.
Bj ids the type of quiet guy who trusts Rochelle and let her decide about everything.
Rochelle & BJ met when they were teenagers and worked at the same bowling centre. They’ve decide to tie the knot on this Friday at the awesome Chapel in Gold Creek.
Family and friends were coming from around Australia and especially Rochelle “adoptive” family came from France to the special occasion (Rochelle spent sometimes in France as a correspondence/student exchange program).
Thanks guys for having chosen me to capture your precious moments. All the best for your new life.
Just a quick post of some images. More coming soon.
