S+M=married…

January 31, 2010

Yesterday this wedding officially kicked off my wedding season and what a way to start the year. The dress was exquisite, the bridal party enormous and the bride and groom were just so lovely. I can say with all sincerity that this was a fantastic wedding and so much fun for me. It was also the maiden voyage for my D3S (Nikon’s new flagship DSLR) and I couldn’t be happier with its performance…I love this camera and may need to build a monument of some description in its honour!

Did I mention how beautiful the dress was?

‘Thank you’ doesn’t quite seem adequate to express my gratitude to this couple. They were amazing to work with as was their entire bridal party. It really was a privelege guys…and thanks for noticing my kick-ass camera more than once throughout the day!

The D family…{sneak peek}

Some days it seems that all the odds are against me and my little photo-sessions…gusty winds, cold temperatures and a very fickle sun that couldn’t decide if it wanted to be behind the clouds or directly in our faces!! These guys were absolute troopers though and these two sweet girls especially so. What a beautiful, happy family…

She looks just like a little doll. Perfectly perfect.

Thanks for braving the Mt Gambier weather and persevering with your session. I think there are some lovely moments captured here and it was great hanging out with you all in the wide open spaces of the Valley lakes.

A friend of mine asked me to drop by and grab a few shots of her now completely grown-up-21-year-old daughter! She’s absolutely stunning, as you can see & I love that I got to be a part of such a special occasion for any young woman! Hope you like them, S.

I was thrilled to shoot an engagement session for this lovely couple. Such genuinely nice people and clearly very much in-love. It was a joy wandering around the country-side on a beautiful evening like this…

I’ve had a little time to relax….not as much as planned due to a mad rush on prints prior to Christmas & quite a few calls etc, but I feel rested & keen to get back into the swing of things.

It seems that my decision to make wcp my sole career was a good one and 2010 is set to be a big year for me and my little photography business. Truth is, I love it. I loved teaching too, but this is all me. Being creative is a more than just a skill, but a way of living and without THAT I’m not sure I could continue to be the happy and contented ME that I am now. So before I introduce this lovely family, let me take this opportunity to say THANK YOU to everyone that has supported me over the last few years and encouraged me to take risks and grow my business to what it is now. It is because of your patronage and support that I get to do this job that I love so much. And more than that…I really do feel priveleged to be invited into your homes to capture your special moments and I’m excited about doing it all again in 2010.

And now to this lovely family. My first session for 2010. These kids were so eeeeasy to work with. Sweet, polite and personality by the truck load.

p.s. to all of you waiting on return emails, pricelists, appointment options – I’ll be working feverishly from tomorrow to get through the swag of emails I have waiting in my inbox. If you haven’t heard from me by Wednesday, please just shoot me through another email or call, just in case a message has slipped through the net. Thanks for your patience as I took some time to hang out with my own sweet girls and husband. :)
