One Tree Hill Engagement Shoot – Thalia & Josiah

I’m not sure why, but whenever someone mentions ‘One Tree Hill’ I just imagine a single tree on a beautifully landscaped green hill, similar to the famous Windows XP wallpaper. Perhaps it has something to do with the town’s name? 😛 Anyway when I arrived on Josiah’s family farm for Thalia and Josiah’s Engagement shoot, One Tree Hill pretty much lived up to it’s name sake. There were rolling green hills that made for beautioful vistas, and even an incredible flowering (cherry?) tree that would not have look out of place in a Harry Potter film! The only thing better would have been if the tree was on top of the hill!

We used this area for their engagement shoot as Thalia and Josiah shared one of their first dates here, in amongst the bushes, which were unfortunately a little sparce due to it being winter, but still made for an awesome spot for a little picnic. This little corner of Adelaide was a stunning spot to visit and I mentioned it to Josiah that they could probably rent out the space for wedding photography 🙂 I had a bunch of fun and captured some really unique shots!

Stunning Santorini Couple PhotoShoot – Greece

Geri & Ashwin
Santorini Couple Shoot – Greece

I was super excited to cover Geri and Ashwin’s Santorini Couple PhotoShoot as I happened to be on the Greek island of Santorini for Kerri and Tony’s wedding for which they were guests to! Geri’s choice of dress was amazing as the red of her dress really stood out amongst the typical blue and white for which the island of Santorini is famous for. Both Geri and Ashwin were quite natural in front of a camera also, making for some wonderful scenes without much effort, and while surrounded by the sun parched surrounds of Thera on Santorini, it made for some lovely scenes.

I said it before and I’ll say it again, shooting in Santorini and expecting to be surrounded by pristine stairways and white buildings is fine, but you also need to be prepared for throngs of tourists also getting in the way! Leading up to Kerri and Tony’s wedding photo shoot I had scouted out certain spots around the city that seemed to have fewer tourists than others, while still looking awesome.

So I took Geri and Ashwin to all the same spots as I took Kerri and Tony, with a few other spots thrown in. As the time of the day was very different between Kerri and Tony’s shoot and Geri and Ashwins, it was quite interesting to visit the same areas and work with the different light.

Baby Hadley – Newborn Shoot

Baby Hadley

Say hello to Baby Hadley! One great thing about being a wedding photographer is that I get to meet many of the cute little babies that come as a natural result of being married 😛 While I diddnt cover Miranda and Jake’s wedding as they were married overseas, I did cover their reception party that took place more locally several years ago.

This little cutie wasn’t overly keen on having her newborn photos done, but we managed to get a couple in between plenty of mummy and daddy cuddles 🙂 It is a bit of a scary thing to do sometimes when you’ve only experienced the world for 3 weeks. It was wonderful meeting little baby Hadley, and my little one, Chloe was also quite excited to make a new friend! 😀
