Melbourne Holiday

Well it's been a while since I posted sorry. Life has been pretty hectic & we took the chance to have a little holiday in Melbourne to see Phantom of the Opera. In a way we were reliving our 2nd anniversary - 17 years ago we saw the same production in the same theater (Princess) & with the same leading man (Anthony Warlow - who just gets better & better with age!) A fantastic show not to be missed.

Here are some photos showing the view from our hotel room along the Yarra river at night:







While we were there we also took the chance to do some night photography with my associate photographer Lindsay & his wife Amy who joined us on the trip. While shopping during the day (Ahhhh Melbourne - a shopaholics paradise) I found some beautiful hand-made venetian masks. So we got Amy dressed up in hew wedding gown & the mask and off we went into the night. Here are some of the results:

Kerry & Michael

Congratulations to Kerry & Michael who braved the cold weather last weekend to have their winter wedding. It was a lovely, simple & elegant affair - usually my favourite type of wedding. This one was especially dear to me (and I must apologise in advance for the unusual amount of photos in this post) as I have known the groom since he was a little kid & am a friend of the bride's family as well. It was a real honour to be able to take their photos and be a guest!

Like most of my clients they left locations up to me. I had a few ideas in mind but knew I would probably only have time for one spot....... decisions, decisions..... however, when I walked into Kerry's room and saw the red curtains, I knew we had to go to the National Museum. The dramatic red walls & lounges there would just suit her perfectly! The poor things were so cold on the day we had to shoot mostly indoors. I hope you enjoy this (poorly edited) selection of my favourites:
