Out of the Office

28 . May . 08

In a few hours I jump on a plane to Brisbane for a week long of photo goodness! I am going over for the PMA expo and APPA awards and one my best buddies Sarah Perfrement is coming along too! A whole week of photo expo, seminars, dinners, Appa Awards night, shopping.. what more could two girls ask for?? =)

So I am out of the office until Wednesday 4th June - so if you need to get in contact with me, please email me and I will do my best to get back to you while I am away, if not it will be as soon as I return. If it is urgent please contact me on my mobile.

Today I finished editing all my weddings for the 2007/2008 wedding season. It’s such a good feeling to be completely caught up on work! Now I just have lots and lots of albums to design! =) Hopefully on my return from Brisbane I will have lots of new products and idea’s to offer to all my wonderful clients!

Have a great week everyone! I will try to blog while im away =)

Renae and Ben - Wedding

17 . May . 08

Renae and Ben could not have asked for a better day, the weather was absolutely perfect, the clouds came in and departed at all the right times. Beach weddings are generally really windy or very sunny, most the times both, but mother nature was indeed playing nice on this particular day! Renae and Ben were married on Meelup Beach down in Dunsborough. I knew the day was off to a good start when I saw the boys chosen foot attire =)

Clare is one of Renae’s bridesmaids. I photographed Clare’s wedding last November and Renae was a bridesmaid for her! It was great to catch up with Clare and Viv again =)

A very proud father of the bride, celebrating with a very large bottle of bubbly!

Clare checking out Ben’s new bling:

I love all the rocks at Meelup Beach. Its by far one of the best beaches to get married on in Western Australia.

The reception was at the beautiful Wise Winery, we ducked down for a few last photos before heading into the reception.

Renae and Ben, your day was beautiful, I was so glad to be part of it and document it for you =)
