Farewell 2009 ~ Welcome 2010

Friday, January 1, 2010

Happy New Year!

I have soul searched for a worthwhile New Year’s Resolution for this year. It doesn’t need to be anything too profound, and even though I really should quit all of my bad personal habits, keep my house perfectly organised and tidy….. oh and lose weight, I thought of something even better. I’m desperate to catch up on posting my weddings in this journal. I’ve been trying to catch up for so long, but because I’ve been flat out with shooting and editing weddings it just seem like an impossible task. When I started this Journal early in 2009 I began by back dating the first few entries because I wanted to post about the weddings I had shot in the previous 6 months. Since then I have fallen further and further behind, with little hope of ever catching up. So my resolution is to jump forward to the very last wedding I shot, and keep it that way. From now on I will post about each wedding the week after I photograph it. Phew. THAT feels good.

The only problem with this plan is I have photographed so many wonderful couples and magnificent weddings in the last 6 months that I desperately want to post about those as well. So I’m going to attempt to intersperse some of last year’s weddings with the current ones. I doubt I’ll be able to catch up enough to post about every single one, so I’ll just be choosing them randomly. They’ll be my ‘turn back the clock’ posts!

I feel good about this decision, and I’m determined to keep my New Year’s resolution. So my very next post will be the last wedding I photographed, then I will go backwards until I photograph my next wedding in mid January. Confusing? Yeah, I’m a little confused myself, but maybe that’s because the ‘Naughties’ are finished, and I have no idea what ridiculous cute nick name they’re going to give this decade. The Tenties? Oh Lord, I hope not!

Judd Watts - Sounds like a great new resolution for the tenties (sorry, you started it!) – I confess I’m a little confused by the order you intend to post your weddings in… but looking at your wonderful work makes the actual date you shot it on, pale to insignificance! I guess what I’m trying to say is that your beautiful photography is timeless.

I DO I DO CREATIONS MAGAZINE ~ issue 6 released

Tuesday, August 4, 2009

I have to admit, this news is not exactly hot of the press! The magazine was released quite a few weeks ago. I wish I had made this post sooner, but better late than never I guess.

Right… back to the announcement. Issue 6 of I Do I Do Creations Magazine is out, and it’s absolutely stunning! If you live in Central Victoria and are planning a wedding, or just love beautiful magazines, you simply must get yourself a copy. It is full to the brim with beautiful images from the very best of Central Victoria’s photographers, stories about real weddings, divine gowns, flowers, accessories, suits, bonboniere, invitations, reception venues, hints and advice. If you’re getting married in the next 12 months, this mag will be your best friend. There is no doubt that the magazine has improved with every issue, but the team have really outdone themselves this year. Looking through the pages, I can hardly believe that this magazine is produced locally. It’s definitely something for the people of Bendigo to be very proud of… a credit to our city! I personally want to congratulate everyone involved in producing the magazine. You should all be so proud of what you have achieved!

I am extremely honoured that a wedding I photographed in 2008 is a featured wedding in the magazine. The lovely bride and groom, Marissa & Josh, are one of my favourite couples. They’re both gorgeous, in the truest sense of the word! Their wedding was beautiful, emotional and so much fun, I was thrilled for them when they were selected to feature in I Do I Do Creations. They have advised me that they both intend on quitting their day jobs to launch their modeling careers any day now, and that they won’t forget the ‘little people’ when they’re fabulously rich and successful! Ha ha ha…. did I already mention that I ADORE Marissa and Josh?

Here are a couple of photographs of the magazine, and my featured wedding. The beautiful photograph on the cover was taken by Mel Plambeck of Rubii Design.

I have decided to follow this post up with a full post about Marissa & Josh’s wedding, which was back in March 2008. Even though their wedding took place nearly a year before I started this Photo Journal, I was always keen to display their images. Now they are featured in I Do I Do Creations Magazine, I feel I have the perfect excuse to turn the clock back a little, and re-live their wedding day!

BABY CAVALLI

Wednesday, February 25, 2009

This is dear little Cavalli. He’s just 3 weeks old, and nothing short of divine. I took these photographs of him at his home, all in natural light. He was such a good boy for his session, and spent most of the time dreaming sweet baby dreams. I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to photograph a little angel like this one. My own boys are getting really big now (4 and 7 years old) and sometimes I really miss the baby days. That’s why I’m always so thrilled when I get to spend time with a precious little baby like Cavalli.

Asleep in Mummy’s arms. Cavalli’s mother Alex initially didn’t want to be in any of the photographs, but I asked her to reconsider. I think there is no place more natural or beautiful to photograph a newborn than in Mother’s arms. I bet when this little baby is a boy, then a man, these will be his favourites. I just know it…..
