Carol & Ben - Lebanese/Indian Wedding

It's not often you get a chance to enjoy both Lebanese and Indian Culture in the one wedding. However, we were fortunate to be able to shoot the wedding of Carol & Ben earlier in the year down in Wollongong.

It was a pretty full on day with plenty of dancing (did I mention it was a Lebanese wedding) and a Bollywood dance show which was highly entertaining.

The reception was held at Portofino International, Wollongong. It was my first time at Portofino and I was impressed by their profesionalism and the atmosphere of the room.

I think we managed to capture all the excitement and action of the day. I certainly slept well when I finally arrived back home.

Mel & Damo - Hunter Valley

At the end of last month we had the pleasure of filming in the sensational Hunter Valley. This was for the wedding of Mel & Damo, who are a very fun-loving and adventurous couple.

The location was amazing with the sun going down and some very cool hay bales to play with. Luke from Luke Gow Photography and his assistant Thierry were great to work with and set up some fantastic shots. You can view some of his shots from the wedding here.

We haven't got around to editing the full wedding yet however I wanted to just put together a small snippet of the photo shoot to show everyone how beautiful it was. Enjoy.

Trailer for Kate & Nick- 10.05.08

Still recovering from another busy weekend. On saturday we had the privilege of shooting Kate & Nick's wedding. It was a fantastic day with two very loving families coming together. Lots of emotion, lots of fun.

I also had the chance to work with Vincent Lai & his brother Milton. 2 very professional and creative photographers.

Check out the 2 pink spotlights on the backdrop during the ceremony. Great touch.



Here is the trailer:

An Inspiration!

Last week, I had the honour of recording a trivia/fundraising night for a close friend of mine who is suffering a rare form of cancer. He is a real champion and with the support of his amazing wife, three beautiful children and literally hundreds of friends is fighting this awful disease head on.

This video was by far the hardest I've had to put together but I wanted to share the recap with you all to help raise awareness for Rob. I can't imagine that I would have as much dignity and courage as Rob, if I were in his situation. He is truly an inspiration.

This event was organised by members of the NSW Police and demonstrates what a close- knit community they are. Well done to all the organisers.

If you would like to donate even a small amount (everything helps) please contact me for further details.

It's a girl!

I don't normally post personal notes on this blog but due to the many enquiries from our clients keen to know the latest news I have decided to post a short message.

Also, when you have a new addition to the family it's hard not to tell the world. It is such an amazing feeling to have a baby.My wife and I have been fortunate to have 3 beautiful children.

Our latest arrived on the 20th March, just before Easter. We now have two girls and one boy and couldn't be happier.

My good friend Kate from über photography (one of the best photography teams in Australia) came over and took some great pics of the new bub and family.

For weddings and/or portraits you can't go past über photography.

Pre-Wedding Video- Roni & Robert

Although it is common practice for photographers to shoot pre-wedding photos not many people are aware that we can also do the same with our video productions.

Some of the advantages of having a pre-wedding shoot are:
* The couple are generally more relaxed
* More time to shoot, allows for extra locations if needed
* Locations are less crowded during the week
* It's a chance for us to get to know the couple better which inevitably makes it easier to work together on the actual wedding day.
* It's a great record for the couple.
* Often, if the photographer is willing we can shoot it together to save time.
* They are also just simply fun to do.

Here is an example of a recent pre-wedding shoot we did for Roni & Robert who flew out from their home in London.

Australia Day Wedding

What better way to celebrate Australia day than by attending the wedding of an Irish Groom and Croatian bride. Perfect weather, family and guests from all over the globe, loads of fun and probably a few sore heads the following day.

Here is the trailer:
