Sharen & Norm's PFPF wedding

PFPF?
Pirate, Fairies, Princesses and Fishermen!
I was thrilled when Sharen first told me that her and Norms wedding was going to be a themed event, so after months of waiting and a little fishing, here are some photos of a most memorable wedding.They both traveled to the ceremony via these uber cool bass boats. (Pirates flags and flowered arch included)
Norm nervously waits at the "Point of no return"...

Well everyone else does it?
Our fairy in the trees.

We decided when talking about there plans that we would set up a photobooth for their reception.
As you can see below, it was a hit with the guest, all of whom got up and had a go.
NB. I will be making a SP Photobooth soon so if you are getting married and you like something a little different, give me a shout and I will fill you in with the details on how you can have one at your wedding reception. Or anywhere really?




And the best costume award goes to......
I just had to get my ugly mug in there. Do you like my Moe-brow?

And my personal fav

Happy 1st Birthday...... nearly

Happy Birthday Harrison!
Our quite little man turns ONE this week, so today we celebrated his first fantastic year with a nice low key birthday party. Here are a few shots of Harrison meeting his first birthday cake.....

He wasn't waiting for the knife to come out, he got right in there and helped himself to a wing.
mmmm.......cake....

Arrrr!

Just a teaser that in a few weeks I will be shooting a wedding with a very specific dress code. This is gunna be one wicked wedding. Stay tuned for the post.

Our House

It's been too long since my last blog!
All though it is the quiet season for shooting, It has been a flurry of photo editing here.
(Sorry to all those waiting on photos).
But.... it has also been busy for another reason... oh and another other reason.... Well as you can see below, our new house is now well under way. I am so excited not only to have the new house and move back into Coffs, but also to fit out and start using my new office. The kids will really love being so close to the park.
(and KFC... will have to walk that off!).
Any way, check it out! Even includes 'an artists impression'.
Inside...
Oh and that other other news...
My beautiful wife is expecting number four in early Feb next year =) I know, I know Four Kids. I guess we gotta loose our hair sometime.
Jade, you are one brave and beautiful girl! Love you!

Cara's naming day

A little over 1 year after shooting Jacqui and Drew's wedding I had the pleasure of shooting the naming day ceremony for their daughter Cara. She is such a cute little girl with such a beautiful family. Just look at these little cheeks.
Congrats to Jacqui and Drew and everyone that was involved on what was a really lovely day.
Oh and I really loved seeing those huge canvas prints from your wedding day proudly hanging in your living room for all to see :)
As promised, here are a few shots to tie you over until you receive the full set.



PS. and a very special thank you to Nikita for helping me set up some wicked shots...

Bonville Wedding Expo

Just a quick reminder that Sunday 08.06.08 is the annual Bonville International Wedding Expo at the BIG Club. No, I don't have a stand, (this year) but if you attend check out the Harvey Norman Stand to see a few of my images helping to promote the quality of their Fuji print lab.
PS. I can't post without an image, so....
Welcome my nephew Tex to the Blog

Little Miss 'A' kiddie shoot

A few of my Favourite shots from a very fun kiddie shoot last week.Check out that laugh, it's the biggest I have ever seen!
She reminded me of snuggle pot in this little beanie and scarf...

Don't rain on our parade.

Yesterday we (as a family) enjoyed some somewhat rare Saturday time. We planned to go and shoot some family portraits in the afternoon. Our plans soon changed when we seen the storm approaching. We tried to beat it to the beach for some dramatic shots, but..........well we got wet. :)
Here is one I got of Lily only seconds before we retired early to a fish & chip lunch in the car.After the storm passed we went to another location we've been waiting to try out. It has a cute four rail white horse fence!
Here's Tyler & myself hangn' out by the fence. The shirt says it all!
Bad to the Bone.I even convinced Jade of a portrait, like me she prefers to stay behind the camera. By the way this secret location between Coffs Harbour and Bellingen would be great wedding shoot location.
My gorgeous girls Jade & Lily

What's in the box?

It's a sparkling new sample 'coffee table' style album for ya'll to look through. It is a simple book bound album that has beautiful thick 'magazine cover' like pages and a wonderful glossy dust cover. If you are interested let me know and we can catch up so you can see the whole thing because photos never do albums justice.



PS. Happy Birthday Jadie! (my beautiful wife) I know that you'll be checking this post tomorrow morning while you sit at home on your birthday wondering if I bought you anything......
you'll have to wait and see.... x o x o x o

Rhonda & Russel

We had a perfect day last Saturday, considering we had detailed plans in place should it rain...
Following a Ceremony in Coffs Harbour's beautiful Botanical Gardens the bridal party headed up to Beakon Hill which held special significance to Rhonda and Rusty. After a fly by from Virgin we drove out to Spagnolos Lane for some more rural feeling shots.
