A Wedding at Cape Otway Lighthouse

I know the blog posts have been few and far between lately, but it happens.

So here is a little something to show you the kind of wedding I love.

Proof Books

July 27, 2009

I thought you might like to take a little look at these wedding proof books that I had delivered a while back.

Exciting huh!!

You can clearly see that not every proof book has the same number of pages, because no wedding has the same number of images…  There is a big difference between an intimate afternoon beach wedding and a lavish 14 hour celebration.

5 Wedding Proof Books.

Even though they are only proof books, I do put a little bit of effort into them. So its only fair to put a little effort into photographing them as well, right?

Inside the proof book - Just a little peek

The image below shows the 2 types of Proof Book cover. Classic Black on the right, and Image Wrap on the left. They are the same on the inside, only the cover is different.  Actually, they are not exactly the same because they are from 2 different weddings, but you get the idea right? Yeah, of course you do.

Image wrap & Classic Black

Personal choice on which one is better, and I happen to like the black. So here are a few images to give you a bit of a look.

Keeping it real.

July 20, 2009

Many Melbourne Wedding Photographers have a habit of turning up to the reception and staying for 5 minutes. They shoot a few details, do a mock cutting of the cake and then leave. Well, I have to say its not my style. I mean seriously, if you are not actually going to cut the cake, then what is the point? A mock cake cutting is just an image of 2 people standing next to a cake with a knife, its just not real. You see, the thing is, you can’t fake a real moment and you need real moments to have real emotions.

Some photographers even take it a step further and asking the Bride and Groom to do a fake first dance, and no, I am not joking… Imagine standing in an empty room with no ambience, on a dance floor with no music… Hmmmmm.

It doesn’t surprise me that I cannot recall ever seeing a really good fake first dance photograph… they all just look very … well… fake.

So, it should come as no surprise that I am there for the real thing !!

Then followed by a Kiss

Capturing moments like these is just not possible if I was one of those who only stay for the first 5 minutes of the reception. And its that reason alone that my standard wedding package has 8 hours of coverage, so you don’t have to fake it on your wedding day.
