Lauren and James Pre wedding

Lauren and James are one of the most adventurous couples that I have photographed for a long while and when I said “what about some shots in the water” they were only too happy to oblige and the results are very stylish and daring. Of course the obligatory big wave came and completely soaked every one. I think it was a passing ferry as normally there are no waves along the Parramatta River. I did have the presence of mind to keep the camera above the wave and so everything was ok, even though I had to drive home wet to get changed for my portraits later on in the afternoon.
Lauren and James’s wedding is only around the corner in April and they will be celebrating their marriage at St Marks in Darling Point, the same church as they filmed the movie Muriel’s Wedding with Toni Collette and then to the lovely Heritage room of the Westin Hotel.

Jessica and Nick Pre wedding Shoot

My first pre wedding portrait on Saturday was with Jessica and Nick and it was a lot of fun photographing them around the Rocks area. Jessica and Nick’s wedding is on the 5th of July and her brother Sam’s anniversary who we photographed in 1996 is on the 6th of July and her other brother Ralph’s is on the 7th of July so next July there are going to plenty of festivities in their family.
Jessica and Nick are great to be with and their wedding will be so enjoyable, it starts at Our Lady of Victories church and then to the lavish reception at the ever popular Doltone House.

Dora and Andrew

Dora and Andrew are a great looking couple who will be having there wedding later in the year. This week we shot their pre wedding portrait and it was fun to catch up with them again. We had to cancel their shoot because of the rain a coupe of times and even at this shoot I thought we were going to have rain and so Andrew and Dora are convinced it will pouring on their wedding day which I said was the best time to photography. They are so relaxed and cool in front of the camera and they made my job really easy and fun. I think these guys will look fantastic on their wedding day and it will be another wedding for me to look forward to.

Karla and Jason's Engagement

Karla and Jason have just recently decided to get married and to celebrate their union Jason’s sister Sandra gifted them an engagement shoot and wall enlargement to help document this special time in their lives.
We met Sandra when we photographed her wedding to Carmello over 10 years ago and over the years she has been a great customer and Taylor Made Photography advocate. We really appreciate all the goodwill she has sent our way.
Karla and Jason are still looking at dates for 2009 and will most likely have their wedding at the famous Conca Doro lounge in Riverwood and Regina Coeli church in Beverly Hills where Karla went to school but this is just the start of their organizing plans.

Maggie and Charlie's engagement session

I shot a great engagement session with Maggie and Charlie on Saturday, they are such a fun couple and I had an awesome time shooting them. Their wedding is coming up quickly at the beginning of June and I think it is going to a great day.
Trudi is going to help out on this one and it will be cool to have the whole team together at their wedding.
Recently Maggie had her braces removed after a few years of teeth torture and I must say her smile is fantastic and she looked wonderful. All the inconvenience was well worth it. At the beginning she was still a little shy and nervous in front of the camera and I did pick the busiest street in Paddington to do the shoot but she soon relaxed after a coffee and few one liners. Charlie is a natural; he does a great GQ pose. It was Maggie’s Birthday that day as well and after the shoot Charlie the romantic had organized a boat and picnic around Manly as a surprise for her. “HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!”

Amanda and George E session

Today I shot the engagement session for Amanda and George; they are having their wedding in March of next year. The light was really nice because of the light rain that was falling and although we got caught in the rain a few times it was a fun shoot. Amanda and George are so good at being natural in front of the camera that I was sure they had been photographed before. They want to design a save the date card around the images I took today.
A save the date card is a less formal way of giving friends and family time to prepare for the wedding date, especially from overseas or interstate as these cards are sent out well in advance of the formal invitation, they give people a longer time to make travel arrangements.
Their wedding reception will be at the QVB Tea Rooms which is a lovely venue with awesome food and great service. We photographed Carmen and Karlson’s wedding there last October and I am looking forward to shooting there again.

Jamie and Johnny's Pre wedding shoot

I had two pre wedding shoots on this morning and the first was with Jamie and Johnny. They are a fun couple who's wedding I will be shooting in June this year at the Gunners Barracks. We did the shoot in an old warehouse in North Strathfield and then Johnny and Jamie shouted breakfast at one of the cafes. These guys are great to photograph they just smile and have fun all the time. It was a fantastic start to great day.
Thanks again for brekky!!
