Their ceremony was at Pepper’s Creek Chapel and the reception was our first time at the amazing Lindeman’s Wines…

which looked even more spectacular with Tracey’s beautiful decor – each table was personalised in such an amazing way for each group of people! (and see the cameo appearance by Hello Naomi’s cakes down in the photos)

To top an amazing day off… this is what they had to say about their experience with us…

–

“First thing we fell in love with and booked! We booked Josh before we even had a date! Josh and Guils were kind and generous throughout the entire process.

So ecstatic with the photos – there are so many we don’t know which ones to choose for our album!

Couldn’t have been happier – so much more than a photographer on the day! When this is the one and only time we do this

– It’s hard to know what is expected or what happens throughout the day

– Josh was always there to answer questions, give directions or just put the buttonholes on the suits for the boys!”

Would you like us to do the same for you on YOUR wedding day?

Head on over to their wedding feature to vote for them, and view the photos we submitted even bigger below!

You can’t fake love, and these two don’t need to.

So looking forward to their wedding in April – these two have so many unique plans for their day.

Lauen & Chris, thank you for letting me be part of it all!

It’s been a rather intense few weeks, as it’s a time when everyone shifts into wedding planning mode. We want to thank everyone who’s entrusted us with photographing their weddings… looking forward to a fantastic 2013.

Anyway, today we’re showing one of the first rendezvous sessions for the year. Think back to that stinking hot, record-setting 43°C Friday… Alana and Jamie didn’t mind the heat, and we made plans to splash around at the beach a little to cool. As I like to do, we caught up at Dockyards for a drink and chat, then kicked off with a few photos around Honeysuckle.

Then the weather changed… just a little. It got dark and windy… so we raced the light on over to the beach. Then it got interesting…

One inspirational image that is forever burned into my head is the movie poster for The Notebook… I’m sure you know it.

So gorgeous couple, thunderstorm, what else does one need? I stopped clicking only once I literally could not see what I was doing.

Tell us how we did – in the comments at the end or on Facebook…

So this is what we love to do. Our ‘Rendezvous’ are about more than just a photo session… it’s a chance to get to know you better, and get out there to have some FUN, and end up with amazing photos… if you’re planning a wedding; we’re actually running these for the next month as an opportunity to “test drive” your wedding photographer… so book your free session in NOW.

Here’s a sample from Daniel and Bethany’s wedding… they got these plus over 400 more! (and make sure you check out the last two…)

It was an honour to photograph several generations.

As always, we had Lisa Fowler (www.lisafowler.com.au) on hair and make up. And as always she amazed me, really, this woman is talented beyond belief!

Jasmine & Alicia bought way more than the requested 3-4 outfits! But we pushed through and I’m quite happy with the result

I’d love to hear your thoughts and would love to have you and your mum (and or/sister, friend or grandmother) in to the studio.

After many enquiries, I’m thrilled to announce I am now offering Belle Hen’s Packages – a great start to your Hen’s celebrations!

I want to thank these three beautiful women for trusting me.

(might take a while to load… be patient.)

After Josh’s huge success at the NSW photography awards, we waited with bated breath to see how we would fare at the national level, with the toughest judging.

This year Josh was rewarded. Josh won 4 silvers, 1 with distinction. That is, every image he entered won! A rare feat achieved by few photographers and far more than we expected. While winning awards don’t make you a great photographer, the journey to do so certainly helps. These four winning images means Josh moves from Accredited Photographer, to Associate of the AIPP.

Giuls, not to be out-done, had 1 of her 3 images awarded with a silver distinction (and it scored higher than Josh’s

The other thing we noticed, and only after the fact, is that these images encompass much of the ‘style’ of what we capture on a wedding day. There’s the little things happening in the background, the details of the day, the locations that each couple choose for their memories, the intimate, emotional moments, and the quirky things that make each and every wedding unique… and fun!

So with out further ado, here are the winning images.

-Josh & Giuls

For this little boy, having his photo taken was worse than having his teeth brushed. But his trying to hide meant a silver distinction in the Wedding (Photojournalistic) category for Giuls.

The bouquet is an important part of the wedding theme. So it's good to show it off. Silver distinction for Josh.

Not everyone wants a giant photo of themselves on the wall, so we often find our "wedding landscapes" to be popular as a larger print, and this one is a great example of that particular style. Doesn't this capture the feel of the afternoon well? Silver for Josh.

An emotional moment, which captures what the first dance should be about... a chance to hold each other closely. Silver for Josh.

A little quirkier, this shot of the groomsmen's feet when they were just sitting on the wall and relaxing got the gold at NSW state awards. Didn't do quite as well at national awards, but still a silver for Josh.

In keeping with the theme of the wedding and Anne’s great taste… we went a little vintage with these photos… definitely tell me what you think.

Oh and the Polaroid belongs to Anne… but I’m going to be running out to get one now.
