Laura & Jason's Wedding 6th Jan 2007

I photographed Laura and Jason's wedding as the first of many for 2007.

Little did I know it at the time, but it was to be one of the best years we have had for bookings since starting THP 11 years ago. I had booked 14 weddings within 10 days after I arrived back from shooting a Canadian bride & groom's wedding in Fiji. This started a trend for the year and resulted in me only having 5 weekends off since March till now (Oct) hence I've had a very, very busy year taking photos.

Laura and Jason were a very casual B&G and it was a real delight to have been their photographer. Although they now live in Sydney where Jason works, I still have contact with them from time to time and its always a joy for me to hear how there going and to catch up with them.

I very much enjoyed photographing their wedding were it started in the city's botanical gardens and progressed from there to the location shoot at surounding locations.

Finally they had some unbelievable images taken at Mt Coot-ha where their reception was held as you can see from the images above.

Shannon & Katherine's Wedding 3rd Dec 2006

Here are the photos for Shannon & Kathy's wedding I shot in Dec 2006 ...

Its now Oct 2007 and I have had a crazy year for weddings ... only 5 weekends off since March 07 hence I haven't had the time to update my blog like I'd like to hehe. During that time I have had many weekends where I've shot 2 and 3 weddings, even in the "normally" quiet times of June and July ... I've had NO weekends off at all, instead I've shot something like 12 weddings in June & July and in the month of Oct alone I have 7 weddings to shoot. I can't wait till the holidays hahaha ...

I useually shoot approx 2,500 images at most of my weddings these days, which leaves me little time for working on personal stuff like this blog hehe ...

Anyway ... Shannon & Kathy were a fantastic couple, I very much enjoyed shooting their wedding ... so "finally" here it is ... I hope you enjoy it ... and I'll try and catch up with the other weddings that are happening here at THP in a Best of, on this blog.

Please enjoy ...

21 11 06 - Robbie & Tahliea's - Wedding.

This is the wedding of Robbie & Tahliea. We had a very layed back style of wedding where the B&G wanted casual photos of their wedding.

We were fortunate with the wedding as it rained when we had only just arrived back at the Mariott after the locations shoot, as seen by the shot of the couple looking out of the window in the first image under this dialog.

Despite this, we managed to capture images that they will treasure for many years to come and I hope you too enjoy looking at them just as much as they enjoyed having them taken.

15th November - Katherine & Shannon's E-Shoot.

Katherine & Shannon have booked me for their wedding on the 3rd Dec 2006, and decided to opt for an engagement shoot to see how each will look infront of the camera.

Both had cancelled the photogographer they had already booked for their wedding after seeing the engagement photos on a wedding website and really likeing what I did for another of my clients. I was both amazed and humbled when I found out what they did. As you can see from these few photos, I aim not to disappoint them.

They were both thrilled and excited at what they saw and now can't wait till their wedding day ... I offer my clients a free E-Shoot and a free 11"x14" enlargement when they book me to photograph their wedding. ... Stay tuned to this space for the wedding results on the 3rd December 2006.

28th October 2006 - Bronwyn & Michael Wedding.

For this wedding I have started to introduce into my packages - Panorama images. Michael wanted shots taken at Kangaroo Point at dusk to include the night sky of Brisbane in the photos.

Although I have shot weddings there before, I had decided to experiment with panoramas. I was extremely pleased with the outcome as was Bronwyn & Michael and it has spurned me on to include panoramas in ALL my packages as I think they will become quite popular in the future.

I particularly liked working with this couple because they always pushed me to greater heights with the challenges of a different style of shooting, as Bronwyn was quite specific in what she was after and I was only too glad to oblige her.

I am absolutely thrilled with these results considering, I later found out, I was in competition with one of Brisbane's leading photographers if not Australia's leading photographer, to get the gig in the first place. So I was so pleased to be given the opportunity to deliver the goods for Bronwyn & Michael as I found it a challenge to come up with a different style (to the everyday wedding) that is presented before me and as a result it pushes me to the next level in where I'm at creatively in weddings hence it keeps me at the peak of our industry where a different approach is required of photographers for each and every shoot.

I hope you too enjoy these images ...
