The Beauty Tutor






Yesterday Juanita and I had fun shooting Sarah who runs a business called the Beauty Tutor. Her service is similar to a personal stylist, she comes to your home goes through all your clothes and throws out the daggy stuff and then takes you shopping for things that suit you and make look cool. She teaches you what clothes go together for different occasions and how to coordinate the basics. She needed some head shots and promo images for her web site. Next week she is going to style up Trudi and I so we can look cool too!! These are some of my favourite images.

Kim and Anton






Today I photographed Kim and Anton's engagement session. I had a ball they are a really easy couple to photograph. Kim had her hair and make up trial earlier in the day and they fussed over her for over 4 hours. Which meant they were a little late for our appointment which was ok because we still had enough light to work with. It is really important on the wedding day that you have hair and make up people who know what time the photographer is scheduled to arrive by and that they finish with you before that time. Kim and Anton are having their ceremony at ST Mary's cathederal in the city and off to La Montage in Leichhardt. It is going to be a long day but these guys are so much fun to work with I am sure the day will fly by.

Supriya and Doug's E - session





To day I photographed Doug and Supriya, they flew in from Singapore for a wedding of a close friend and are only here for a few days. So today was the only day we could do the shoot. I do not normally shoot on Sunday if I don't have a wedding but this was the only chance available and these guys are so nice so it was not a problem. They are having their wedding at Jonah's next Febuary and it should be really cool and casual as Supriya is not wearing a tradional dress but a red Indian sari. It is always a highlite when we can shoot something that is not the norm.

The wedding of Liz and Ramez.






Photographed a great wedding yesterday for Liz and Ramez. They are such a great couple, so friendly and happy. Once again a perfect Taylor-made day with awesome weather and the day seemed to go so quickly. These guys are going to plan their album on Wednesday because they are going on a European tour via Japan for their honeymoon and will be away for a while plus they have lots of international guest who flew in for their day and they would like to spend some time with them. I love Liz's smile she was so happy all day even when we had the water and soap incident from the pub where we were shooting the portraits.

Susan and Karl






Susan and Karl are a great couple who's wedding we are shooting in December. Currently they are both living in N.Z. and since they were in town to finalise a few wedding matters we thought it was a good idea to shoot their E session as well. Karl had asked Susan to marry him up at Byron at the point where the lighthouse is and Susan thought it would be nice to do the shoot at the Vaucluse light house to tie it all together.
They are a really relaxed couple and their wedding should be a hoot as they want everyone up and dancing right from the very beginning of the reception.

Ali Mutch turns 20 something!!!






Our good friend Ali Mutch turned 20 something on the weekend, fresh from L.A. where she has been kicking off her acting career. You may have seen Ali on a bill board ad or the Do Do internet ads on Tv. She is also known as FHM's Swim suit model of the decade. The party was organised by her friend Claire Smith from TV week and Jamie helped with the catering. People came from all over to Sonia and Peters place at Narrabeen lakes including Perth, Melbourne and the Eastern suburbs of Sydney.
Jo and Fiona from the biggest loser show were there and they both still look great.
A special hello to our friends Micheal,Diane,Martin and Ali's man Paul. Sorry I could not be there, but some of us had to work.!

MLC Rock Estedford

Trudi spent the day behind the scenes covering the MLC Rock Estedford at the Sydney Entertainment centre. Our daughter Taylor is in the cast. All the girls had a fantastic time on the day and they performed fantastically. They are all winners for taking the time to participate in a wonderful show. The teachers and parents did a great job to put it all together and they deserve some applause as well. Well done to everyone who was involved.

Bridal Show





Juanita and I spent the weekend talking to prospective wedding couples at the ABS Bridal expo at the Horden Pavillion. WE had a lot of great interest and we certainly stood out from the crowd. Dale the the shows organiser helped immensley and we were able to get some great leads. Belinda and Eric decided to book with us at the show. They are a fun couple, it was really great to meet them and their wedding is on the 20th of January so that will come around soon. We also met some other exhibitors next to our stand who really helped the days go by a bit easier. Next to us was Virginia from The Invitation Studio she is a real crack up, such a fun loving person we got on like a house on fire and her designs are just so cool. If you need to organise any invites or greeting cards give her a call or you can see her every Saturday at the Paddo markets. Next to Virginia was the the chocalate fountain. Every function should have a chocolate fountain it is the yummyiest thing in the world.

Celia and James E Session




Trudi photographed an pre wedding portrait with a twist! Celia and James are getting married on the 21st of October so they took the opportunity to be photographed with James 4 sons aswell. What a group! These guys were so comfortable with each other that they needed hardly any direction at all and the session seem to pass in the blink of an eye. If the pre wedding session is any indication the wedding will be alot of fun to photograph! Can't Wait.

Jenny and Rob E Session




It was a busy day shooting in the Rocks yesterday and the challendge for me was to make each shoot different from the other. Rob and Jenny are wonderful couple who really feel comfortable in each others personal space and are having their wedding in Cronulla on the 21st of October. We really hit it off on the shoot and I am looking forward to the wedding. They are having five groomsmen and five bridesmaids so there will be plenty of photo oportunities.

Aimee and John




Aimee and John are having their wedding in Malaysia at the end of the month but wanted some western style portraits before they leave for O.S. We did the shoot in number of locations around the Rocks area and John and Aimee were a great couple to photograph.
