Sam & John got married in a beautiful ceremony at Woodbridge house in Guildford.  There were such lovely touches to the ceremony and the afternoon tea organised by Sam’s Mum (and helpers) looked delicious (I love cupcakes, really love cupcakes).

A shot from a recent family portrait session, on the Point Walter foreshore.

If you are interested in a family portrait session, my portrait package is $200 for a one hour sitting (at a location of your choice) with the digital negatives at high resolution included.

Found abandoned on the Point Walter foreshore when I was there for a family portrait session…

Tanya got out of hospital on Friday, wedding was on Saturday, and 10 minutes before leaving for the ceremony was laying on the couch in pain…  But from the moment she saw Ross at the ceremony and throughout the location photo shoot in the freezing wind, I don’t think I saw her without a smile on her face!  I am having so much fun looking through and processing their photos.

This is why I choose to be a wedding photographer, and I wouldn’t want it any other way!

I am processing through last weekend’s wedding photos and thought I would post this shot of Emily & Steve as a bit of a teaser…

So many images to come from both Emily & Steve wedding and Ross & Tanya’s wedding, both last weekend.

Just finishing up Natalina & Leon’s pre-wedding photos and wanted to share a couple more of the images.

A bit different to my usual post but today is blog action day, and this year the topic is climate change.

Spurred on by an amazing presentation I went to last night from Carlo Petrini, the President of the Slow Food Movement, I am going to blog about food and climate change.  If you want to find out more about the Australian Slow Food Organisation go here.

Food production is a main cause of carbon emissions and when we go to the supermarket we are faced with products that come from all over the world, garlic from Mexico, snowpeas from China etc.  This is the main focus of the slow food movement, encouraging people to buy local produce or grow their own to reduce food miles and support local food producers.

Australians throw out 3 million tonnes of food a year (Planet Ark).  Apparently (this is from Carlo Petrini) worldwide enough food is produced to feed 12 billion people but 1 billion of the 6.3 billion people are suffering from malnutrition.  The breakdown of organic waste without oxygen in a landfill produces methane gas which absorbs 20 times more heat than carbon dioxide (again why people are worried about the cows farting).

I am going to finish up with some photos from our backyard, the compost just matured the other week so we have build a fenced veggie patch (not much planted just yet) and some of the veggies are coming into bloom.  The only one not excited in our house about the fenced garden is Lola, who has lost one of her digging areas…

Just finishing off Dannii & Luis’s images from the 27th September and I thought I would share one of my favourite from the day:

Dannii & Luis were married on Sunday.  Here are a few images of Dannii getting ready…  More to come soon.
