The Video Shoot...catching you up {part 2}....

On Sunday evening Nov 27th it was my turn to get all nervy in front of the camera... and let me tell you people I felt sick! I am having a brilliant new website built at the moment that is going to have a little video included so you can all see how awesome I am (kidding!), so on that evening it was time to get the video shoot done...

I had two great fun couples and my trusty video man Kirk ( find his website here ) and so off to Waimari beach we all went... I am still hoping I didn't suck too much even thought Kirk has assured me I didn't suck at all - I guess we'll see. And I must admit it was a little distracting occasionally, to have Kirk step right into my shot with his huge camera...but mostly I just tried to ignore him and I ended up getting into my "zone" and forgetting he was there. In the end I think we all had fun and I got some great shots as a thankyou to the couples who gave me their time in return for photos from me. xxxxx

Can't wait to see the video....watch this space... the new website should only be another week or so away - YAY!! 

Janelle & Nick and The Harris Family ...catching you up {part 1}...

Well, I am all sorts of behind with the blogging in the past couple of weeks - can you beleive I am still getting enquiries for February and March 2012 weddings? Its been such a strange year here in Christchurch - what else could explain that? So anyway I thought I'd better catch up with the blog a little bit and fill you all in on a couple of things I've been doing....

First up, the week before last I caught up with Janelle and finally got to meet her other half, Nick, for an engagement session. It was a beautiful sunny Christchurch evening and the they are both so looking forward to their special day in late January 2012...here's a quicky sneak peek for you...

Then on the last Saturday in November I met up with the Harris Family for a early morning freestyle family session. This was like my perfect family photo session - all fun, no posing just personality and a beautiful morning on Sumner Beach. The real meaning of a lifestyle photo session - just people being themselves...here's a little lookey...

Tristan and Justine's Waimari beach engagement shoot.

What a busy weekend I had. On Sunday evening I met up with Justine and Tristan ahead of their early January wedding. Their wedding venue has been changed a couple of times because their chosen venues kept falling over! Anyway they finally got settled on beautiful location just outside of Christchurch which is much less susceptible to earthqauke damage ( yay!) and now they are getting on with the job of pulling it all together. Here's a little preview from Sunday night...

Catherine and Graham { Mr & Mrs Hickman}

I had the most awesome Saturday. I had the priveledge of spending the day with  Catherine and Graham - one of the lovliest couples you could ever hope to meet. And on Saturday they became Mr & Mrs Hickman. There was so much to LOVE about this wedding - the stunningly beautiful bride, the adoring looks from the groom, the fun loving and seriously attractive bridal party - every location I got to shoot in was fabulous from the pre wedding prep to the marquee reception. As a wedding photographer it was one of those days that I enjoyed so much I wanted to get up on Sunday and do it again! Catherine and Graham I have enjoyed getting to know you guys as the preparations for your wedding day came together and have seen your amazing love for one another - gave me the warm and fuzzies, actually. The term "wedded bliss" was truly made for you guys.

Here's a quick preview of your day...

Rebecca & Rueben {Happy Anniversary!}

At sunset on Sunday night I met with Rebecca and Rueben for a photosession celebrating their 1st wedding anniversary. The weather forecast had said it was going to rain in the evening but it didn't and instead we had some yummy golden sunset light - a beautiful end to a special day for Rebecca and Rueben. Here's a sneak peek...

Catching up with Sinead.

On Sunday afternoon I met up with Sinead for a session to get some updated photo's for her. Sinead and I first met a couple of years ago when I did a session with her then and it was great to have a catch up with her and find out how life has been treating her since then.

Here's a quicky preview...

 

Ashton.

This morning I got to meet little Ashton. He's almost six months old and just popped a couple of tiny wee teeth his mum tells me, and he was super cute and he REALLY liked my bell toy - like almost tipped himself out of the bucket trying to get it! Here's a quick preview..

Amanda & Mark { engaged}

I met up with Amanda and Mark last weekend for a little bit of a catch up and an engagement session. What an awesome day it was - perfect beach weather and summery sunshine - fabulous!!

Here's a quick preview...
