I am down in Albany for the next few days, working on a landscape series of photography thats going on exhibition down here in September!

Coming down to Albany means spending time with my family and my beautiful old dog, Dillon. He will be 11 years old this year, he is starting to look his age! He has always been a rather mean savage guard dog (he is a Blue Heeler crossed with a German Shepard). Now that he is getting older, he is starting to be a bit more friendly and peaceful around strangers, though not too friendly that I wouldnt want to jump over the back fence at night =)

Claudia and Trent

20 . July . 07

Today I photographed the beautiful wedding of Claudia and Trent. I always love photographing really unique weddings and Claudia and Trent’s wedding was exactly that. They had their ceremony on board the Midnight Express in the middle of the Swan River. The weather turned out beautiful just as we hoped, especially considering its July and yesterday was absouletly pouring down with rain. I would write more but its 9pm Friday night and in need of a glass of wine…I just wanted to post my favourites from today up as I am out of town for the next few days!

 

First up, I absolutely loved Claudias shoes, they were so cute!

Trent saying his vows, you could tell he really loves Claudia =)

Claudia’s dress was beautiful, very simple yet very elegant. She looked stunning in it!

Everything always happens in 3’s… After returning from overseas earlier in the year, I found out 3 of my friends were pregnant!! This is the last one to arrive, and Jayda had a very quick enterance into the world in the early hours of the 5th July. Her proud parents are my boyfriend’s sister, Chris and her partner Gavin, this is their third child, the other two, Max and Ebbonie, appear on a regulary over my website as they are the cutest little kids in the entire world.. and now I have another one to be my models!! ;) These were taking on her mamas birthday last week.

I have just watched this amazing video on this amazing technology that will have such a major impact on photography. I recommend all of you to go watch! (thanks to gary fong for the link!)
