Christmas Breakfast Buddies

Merry Christmas from me, them and a cafe in Carlton North…

This is what happens when you tell your friends to look at you like they love you…

This is what they look like when they look at the people they really DO love!

Bec & Dan made the sun shine

Things were looking particularly grim as I drove from Canberra to Redbrow Garden for Bec and Dan’s big day. I’m talking BIG black clouds and heavy rain all over the place. By the time I arrived the rain had stopped but everything was pretty water logged. Family and friends were frantically reorganising the day to cater for the impending downpours, while Bec looked an absolute picture of serenity, having a cheeky drink before final preparations! But maybe she knew something we didn’t….

As I snapped some pics of Dan and his many many groomsmen, (helllooooooooooooo men!), a magical transformation in the weather occured. Black clouds parted and the sun showed us his face. Could Dan have secret Transformer powers?

One of those ladies must have had cold hands…

Mums are always the best for the final touches.

Bec and Dan chose to have their photographs before the ceremony, so to capture Dan seeing his bride for the first time I asked Bec to sneak up on him. Dan was so overwhelmed by emotion before she even made it there, I wasn’t sure whether he’d explode when he saw Bec looking stunning in her gown. I don’t think there was a dry eye amongst the bridal party and family that were looking on either (myself included! You’d think that going to so many weddings would make me less emotional, but, well, I just love the LOVE!)

Even though he’d already seen Bec, Dan was brimming with love and emotion as she walked down the aisle with her folks, his sunglasses only coming off at the last minute to reveal a few more beautiful tears.

Bec’s engagement and wedding rings were stunning and extra special as the stones in the wedding ring came from her Grandmothers ring.

Bec and Dan you are gorgeous!

Karen & Dale

Karen and Dale used to work together…well, between their outrageous flirting with one another. Their colleagues even told them off. They’ve been together for 2 years now and Dale has a new job in Canberra so the office flirting has gone. But the marriage is ON!

Dale proposed to during Karen the week of her birthday. She was tired from rounds of birthday celebrations with family and friends, so when she came home and couldn’t find her keys in her bag, she rang the doorbell. SHE WASN”T SUPPOSED TO RING THE DOORBELL!!!

Karen was supposed to let herself in and see that Dale had lined the hallway with candles and set up a picnic in the living room. Just for her. Not a birthday picnic. A proposal picnic. But Karen rang the doorbell. I can imagine Dale’s shoulder’s slumping at the sound of the bell and Karen’s confused look when she saw what was happening. And if you’ve ever met these kids, you can also imagine the beaming smiles from both of them at the actual proposal.

Karen will be joining Dale in Canberra in a few months time, so I squeezed in this engagement session while Dale was in town. We scooted around some favourite Melbourne spots for their shoot (right after they’d had high tea at the Windsor of course), and look how hot these two are.

Karen you are HOT!

And Elias Makes 4

A few weekends ago I teamed up with fellow photographer and pal Liz Mc Leish for a mad afternoon of shooting. It was a glorious day in St Kilda, but I had turned up exhausted and feeling my age only to be surrounded by these glorious young stunners. I’ve already posted the ladies Steph, Sarah, Bianca and now here’s Elias making 4. Talk about hotness from every angle, I felt like an old sack tied in the middle (this is why I take the photos, not get in them kids). I shot natural light around theplace and Liz shot with Studio lights. Head on over to her site to have a look at her results.

A great job was done by the style team;

Elspeth Smith – Hair and Make Up

Amy Cornelius – Stylist (Bianca and Sarah)

Jessie Alymroe – Stylist (Steph and Elias)

And a big thanks to Adrian D – Who assisted and also snapped a few shots.
