Aman and Vilashni - 07 February 09

I have been lucky enough once again to have the privilege of photographing a couple very much in love, and very much meant for each other.

These two were very cute, Aman was so nervous (even if he won't admit it now) and so was Vilashni. They did very well though, and a great day was had by all. Here are some images from the day. I really am looking forward to their wedding day now that we have done the engagement.

Stephen and Kathryn - 25 January 2009

What can I say about these two? They rocked!! They were up for some fun and wanted to get the best from their wedding photos. People like Stephen and Kathryn are a joy to photograph, truly.

It was an absolute scorcher of a day, during the ceremony the sun was belting down making it very very bright. I would love to put more pics on here, but this is the little teaser I promised them, the blog really doesn't do justice to how these pics came out. I can't wait to get them round to show them. I hope you like this little sneak peek Stephen and Kathryn.

Terry and Jelena - 8 January 2009

The Wedding of Terry and Jelena was on 8 January '09, one of the hottest and sunniest days so far this year. The weather really turned it on for them, and I had a great time photographing this one. They both looked absolutely amazing.

Everything was very relaxed, except of course the Bride and Groom till after the wedding. :-)

So here are some advance preview images, many more to Come Terry and Jelena, plus an image/video slideshow with some very funky dancing by the MCs. But that'll be in a few weeks.

The Wedding of Hori and Meg

This weekend I was a guest at a wedding in the Coromandel instead of the photographer, so I thought it'd be a great opportunity to try out the video capabilities of my D90 without any pressure.

It was a great relaxed wedding, and Cath and I both enjoyed it very much. Thanks for inviting us Meg and Hori.

Here is the result of my tinkering attempt at the new photography/videography with cameras that can, which has been dubbed 'fusion' in it's early stages. I don't have any great video editing software presently, so it was done using the generic windows programme. (you can make it full screen, this is not the full res version. Full res is too big a file to upload and stream, 1.7GB)

Here also are some of the images from the day I took. (click on image for larger version)

It's beginning to feel a little bit like......

.......CHRISTMAS!!!!!

It's on it's way, not long now, about 14 sleeps I think.

We put up our tree tonight, isn't it great? (looks way better in real life)


I just thought that if we kept putting it off any longer we'd wake up on Christmas morning with no tree, and we can't have that. So when we got home, we popped down to the local New World supermarket, loaded up on a nice fibre optic tree and some baubleage, and then to the refrain of Christmas music from Caths' Christmas compilation, we put up our tree. Even with our families on the other side of the world, I think it's still important that we have some kind of festive feeling in the Chrissie season.

Now we just need to get an angel or a star for the top, and some tinsel and we're ready!

Hope you have all got your Christmas spirit going and are bringing out the trees and the stockings and what not.

Till next post....

Gidday Mates!! ;-)

Well....Cath was right, Sydney is awesome!! We went to Sydney-Australia for the weekend, and just being able to say THAT is pretty damn cool!

I was half asleep most of the time because we stayed at a YHA where it seemed the main meeting/drinking area was under our window (how old do I sound?), so every night till past 3am all the other travellers would congregate and get LOUD! Fair play to them....but I need my beauty sleep for sure....I also need it for the anti-grump agent it contains.

Anyway, here are some photos from the trip....enjoy. (Click on a pic to see the bigger version)

The land Down Under

Well, today is my Friday...love it!! Cath and I are heading to Sydney - Australia for 4 days tomorrow morning bright and early. Looking forward to it as I haven't been to Sydney yet. I'll post some pics on here when I get back, can't wait to see the Opera house.

Last night I also booked Tamryn and Bernard for their wedding at Auckland Zoo in March. I know!!! How cool is that. After hours wedding at the zoo, we are going to get some awesome images, and they are a fun couple that I reckon I will have a blast photographing.

Hope everyone here has a great weekend, see you soon! :-)
