D & R’s couple portrait session~ Melbourne botanical gardens

Wednesday, September 29th, 2010

It feels like this past winter in Melbourne has lasted forever. Even a stint in tropical SE Asia right in the middle of it didn’t seem to ease my chattering teeth; grey winter coats and scarf blustering along behind me as I braved the Melbourne streets on what seemed like continuous cold winter mornings.

But dreary Melbourne winters are well worth it when spring days start appearing. Days when you feel like you have to skip over the shadows and spend every step in the sun. Sunday was one of those days; a perfect day to meet with Ross and Donna and photograph them together in the Melbourne Botanical Gardens. It wasn’t like we were the only ones who thought getting out enjoying the gardens was a great idea. The place was abustle with people and had a definite relaxed buzz to it; perfect for exploring and finding your own nooks and crannies!

The Botanical Gardens is a little bit special to Donna and Ross, as it is the place where they got engaged. Donna and Ross are a lovely couple; always laughing and ever ready with a anecdotal story—my type of people really! I am very much looking forward to photographing their intimate and very thoughtful wedding at Ascot house.

Mel and Ravi ~ Couples Photo Session

Wednesday, September 15th, 2010

Over the weekend I met up with Mel, Ravi… and Madison! Mel and Ravi are getting married next year at the beautiful Werribee Mansion!

This session was lots of fun, and Madison (their dog) even cooperated for a few photographs. (He wasn’t too happy, however, when he wasn’t included!)

Mel made the mistake of saying “why not?!” when I asked if she could sit on a fence railing for a shot. She even obliged when I then subtly suggested that she engulf herself in a hedge, despite her inherent fear of spiders!

In the process of going through old shoots and getting them ready to archive I’ve realised there are heaps of photo shoots I never got a chance to blog. These images were taken for Look East Australia. Look East are a wholesaler for jewellery stores and boutiques around the world.

Commercial Portrait

Wednesday, September 8th, 2010

I’m a little behind on the blogging but I thought today I’d bring you these images from a session I did with Louise Mahler, Louise is the person behind Art of Business.  She is in the process of updating her website and wanted fresh photographs which would fit into the new earth toned design.
