This was a wedding we had waited a long time for. Not just clients but very special friends, Eddie and Linda tied the knot in a simple but very beautiful beach side ceremony at Cabarita Beach in NSW. We covered the whole day from the dressing and makeup, pre wedding photos with all 8 of Linda’s children, the wedding and post wedding afternoon tea and then some beautiful beachside couple shots.

The reception was a fortnight later and we covered that also.

Here are some of our favourite moments.

Supernova is the Pop Culture Event icon in Australia. There are numerous conventions in different locations each year. At the Gold Coast event this year we were sponsoring the Drawn2Life Cosplay group who were running a charity event raising funds for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

As sponsors we provided photobooth photography for patrons to donate and receive a free photo of themselves with their favourite cosplay characters. We also had some roaming photographers getting some shots. Most of the work though was directly in the booth.

All the photos are on Facebook and full size images can be downloaded for free from the Drawn2Life Photobucket account .

As long standing supporters and sponsors of the Pine Rivers Musical Association (PRIMA) we once again put together the promo shoot for their latest musical endeavour. This time they are running a 60’s themed Theatre Restaurant. So we took the opportunity to explore the zany hippy culture and the radical mod rock culture a little (with some artistic license liberally applied).

The show dates are May 10, 11, 17, 18, 24 and 25. Tickets haven’t been released yet but you can join the event on Facebook and get yours as soon as they come out.

Here are some of the photos from the shoot.

When ultra tail runners Jeff and Natalie met through their running club sparks flew. Ok they were slow but eventually after Jeff ran an ultra as motivation to ask Natalie out and from then on it was just a matter of time.

And as I shoot them a lot out in the bush running ultra events (last one was 160km) they asked me to shoot the wedding also.

Last weekend they tied the know in front of immediate family in a very intimate and beautiful setting of the lush tropical rainforest of Mt Glorious.

We love shooting weddings and set up packages to suit all wedding types, from full service all day affairs through to small events like this one.

So when Mark Skater from The Vault asked us to shoot he behind the scenes and stills for his latest Sucker Punch tribute Short Film Episode 3 we jumped at he chance of shooting some cool dressed up people. Some people we knew, others were new to us, but we had a fun afternoon mixing up knights, orcs, medieval maidens and gun toting Sucker Punch ladies in costume. If you haven’t seen the movie check it out on IMDB.

Here are some of the top shots from the day – note these are unedited and include behind the scenes shots.

Check out the Episode 3 trailer for the video on Marks YouTube Channel.

Here are some samples we shot from the February event.

We recently ran a photography workshop for some photographers learning to shoot models, cars and use off camera lighting. We put together a mechanics workshop, two lovely ladies, a Ferrari, Monaro GTS drag car and a Harley Davidson.

We spent the day learning how to work with models, makeup artists, lighting and vehicles and their owners.

All the photographers came away with a big learning curve on the step up from taking a few photos in the park to the work that goes into putting a shoot like this together. They learnt how to set the camera up, the lighting up and pose the models and compose their images.

If you are interested in doing this we can put together a workshop for you and your friends or solo tuition if necessary.

Here are a few from the day.
