Want to see our film Getting Dad?? You can here: If you enjoy it please vote for us!! Check out the other films too… we are under the category ‘Identity’ but lots of great subjects to check out.
I have been so busy and very slow to blog but I promise to catch up now!! We love travelling down to Melbourne for weddings. This wedding was no exception! Liz and Dan had a lovely relaxed wedding ceremony at Mentone beach Surf Club. Before that though we met up at a park in Surrey Hills for some lush greenery. We had perfect sunny weather and the beach front location was stunning. I loved the dress Liz chose and the flowers were beautiful. Thanks guys for choosing us to be part of your day.
My little big girl has just turned 10. Somehow the last 10yrs just flew by and here I am looking at a young girl who keeps reminding me of the baby girl she was a moment ago and then giving me glimpses of the woman she will be in just a moment. I keep thinking what a delight that I get to be with this wise and amazing soul. I am blessed. I am grateful!
We are thrilled to be heading to the Byron Bay International Film Festival to see our short film “Getting Dad” screen. Wonderful to be selected to screen at a festival I can actually go to! Only a little drive away… There really is nothing like seeing your film screen with an audience. So fun to hear people laugh when you meant it to be funny and ‘get’ what the film is about. An honor!! Here are a few stills from the film. Come along and see it!!!
Also so happy to see our work spreading around. If you’re a bride, check out POLKADOTBRIDE they just did a little feature on our work. The fantastic wedding of Madeleine and Michael. There are heaps of extra shots on the Polkadot site so take a look.
How amazing is the beach! Quickly go and enjoy this fine weather and enjoy it as much as possible… sit and think and do handstands in the sand… When I am on the beach I feel my soul expanding and all the worries get very small. Here are a few shots from the last few days of beachy fun we had.
Hello and we hope you had a great time welcoming 2010!! I have an odd mix of things to share today. We are totally honored to be mentioned on the amazing blogs below!! Many thanks! www.debsphotographs.com/photoblog (i love love debs work!) and I recently discovered this great site too…. we recently had a wedding featured and our Christmas video made a little cameo too! Also we were featured in OUI magazine. A French fashion magazine. Sooo fun to receive a copy and see my work printed big!! teehee! HERE IS THE LINK: OUI magazine (do not google there is another not so nice magazine with same name!!!!)
Very excited to show you the first wedding video by our good friend and colleague Pancho Colladetti. We now offer wedding videos alongside our photography! Pancho is AMAZING!!! Check it out here: . Also I have had a few people asking about how to make giant heads like here and here . So here is what we did… 1. Take a few close up images against a plain backdrop.
2. Pick your favourite fun image and grab a giant brush colouring over the top and neck.
3. Rotate and crop as needed. 4. Process how you like it, re-size for print. We did 1m x 1m.
5. Take your files to a large format printer. We recommend getting vinyl prints with the sticky backing. However we un-wisely opted for the high quality print but no sticky back. So we cut out the faces and then glued them to backing board with spray glue. HOWEVER this is a 3 person job and fiddly and the glue did not hold as well as we hoped. SO if you can avoid it, DO!!! 6. Once our boards and pictures were joined and cut to face shape, we gaffa taped some sticks on the back! EASY! and fun! Let me know if any questions, happy to help! This will be my very last blog post for 2009!! We traveled to Newcastle to photograph this wedding and it was the last wedding for the year. It was wonderful! GREAT to be in a different city and such a fun wedding to photograph too! Michael and Madeline had a masquerade ball theme for their wedding. They were married in a stone church in Morpeth. This was the first time I’ve been to Morpeth I could of stayed all day and photographed. It was delighful and so many fantastic backdrops. These guys were very easy going and happy to do whatever I asked… including some hair-brained idea to jump a wire fence and go into a burnt out field. I have so many favorites from this wedding, it is going to be a bumper blog post!
Very behind in blogging here!! Just wanted to send everyone over to Jinky Arts website to take a look at the lovely little film we collaborated on. Barb from JinkyArt is an excellent visionary, a producer/director and wrote a fantastic storyline. Of course she also shot all the beautiful stills throughout the film. I was delighted to co-direct with her and film/edit this piece. The talent is Amelie who just amazes me with her energy and ability to act!! She truely was amazing, thanks so much for all your hard work Amelie and Jo. The music is by Paperkites, check out their myspace . I love LOVE to photograph kids parties. All that colour and fun and kids being kids! Max’s 3rd birthday was a circus party. So plenty of wonderful costumes and very very cute little clown. They even had a couple wonderful clowns come from Peebo and Dagwood. They were very entertaining and fun and even the adults were captivated. Also there was a jumping castle that despite the heat, kids in costumes bounced around to their hearts content. (I only lasted a little bit on there!!) I do believe fun was had by all!
We are running a little behind here but if anyone hasn’t got a great christmas present yet. I HAVE found a 4 wonderful ones!! I was recently approached by a company called Mind Gardener™. It was so exciting having them purchase my images for use on such a great product. Mind Gardener™ is an Australian initiative that brings together a series of resources that contain information, ideas, exercises and tips that will guide your growth and help you flourish in a particular area of life. It is so nice to see my images all printed up and designed into great products. Very satisfying! I have included an image of my favorite “tip” because we all know being Grateful has taught me HEAPS!! However I just read over one of the ‘Clear mind’ boxes and was so inspired!! (and I do believe my mind cleared!!) Check out their website here:
