It’s time to catch up with my blog after the Xmas break where I took the family overseas.
I will have a lot to catch up and post about my trip to Vietnam, with street photography, landscape and of course weddings as I also shot a couple of weddings in Vietnam.
But let’s get back to today’s post: Today, I had the pleasure to capture Pecs & Allan Wedding, very in the tradition of Philippine’s Wedding style.
The couple was just gorgeous, the bridal party was awesome and the Ceremony is over the top. Watching these love birds and I can tell that they are so much in love and …. these guys really know how to party, that’s for sure.
Although it’s a bit late, I still wanted to post some quick edits of what was an awesome way to finish a week-end.
With weddings like this, I’d take one every second Sundays 🙂
Last Tuesday, I did the photo shoot for the bridal magazine Your Local Wedding Guide – Canberra Edition and it was a really fun day.
There were 18 wedding gowns from local and interstate designers, to shoot with different backgrounds, at the Hyatt in Canberra. We went from the hall way to the Presidential Suites, passing by the reception area to the Centenary Ballroom…
I would have loved to have an assistant for this shoot. It’s not that it was heavy lighting gears but I was using a massive beauty dish (Mola Setti, polished silver interior), on a boom with a dumb bell sand bag and the strobe was on a power pack: it started being a bit heavy running around on different shooting locations and I think we used all the levels and possible shooting locations.
As usual, we had two lovely models from Canberra: Katie and Nicole. I already did some shoots with Nicole but it was the first time that I shot Katie. She is so gorgeous that I already have plans to shoot her again in a near future.
We also had Zoe Barton to do the make up (www.zbmakeup.com.au) and the gorgeous Bree and Kayla from Pink Diamond Hair (www.pinkdiamondhair.com.au/) to do the …. hair.
I’ve already done some shoots with Zoe and Bree and I would definitely recommend them if you need a make up artist or hair stylist. both have participate in my Project M3 back a couple months ago.
I used a couple of Canon bodies and the Eye-Fi cards that allowed me to wirelessly tranfer images, on the fly, from the camera to the iPad. It is quickly becoming a permanent tool on my shooting sets.
As the photos will be on the next magazine, I can only post a few images from the BTS (behind the scene) of the shoot.
Thanks again to Prestige Publications, publisher of Your Local Wedding Guide, for having chosen NOMAD PHOTOGRAPHY to do their fashion shoot, it’s the third year in a row and it’s getting better and better
Just a teaser to keep you wait till the magazine will be released next year. Enjoy

Once again I flew to Noumea, New Caledonia, to shoot a wedding.
Eddy and Ondine have been friends of mine for some years now and it was really pleasure to be invited to shoot their wedding.
We had it all for this special day: Heavy rain, thunder storm and a bit of sunshine. It was a bit of challenge to deal with the weather but I managed to take control of their “fear” and dragged them out for some photos.
Noumea is renown for it’s history and its lagoon. We didn’t have much options to deal with but we definitely had a good time.
PS: it was a bit of a challenge to go against local habits, especially to when I asked the newly wed to pose next to a pond, crossing a muddy grass just after a heavy rain… but again the results make them happy so…
A few images that I had time to process between to barbies with old friends.
