Big part of what I do is making people feel comfortable and relaxed waaay before the wedding day. Someone's trust can only be earned and there is only one way to do it :D

So it finally happened. Dan and Courtney got married. Time flies when one is busy and happy. It feels like their engagement session in Kings Park happened only a couple of weeks ago.
There's a big difference between photographing a wedding and telling a Weddingstory. Weddings are all a litlle alike. Weddingstory are different every time.
This is Dan, Courtney and their Weddingstory

A random encounter on the streets of Freo. This guy asked me for a photo of what he thought was a sword hee found it on a beach. The "sword" on it's own would be a tad boring... I don't know his name but I know he's got kids in France living with his ex-wife... Funny how conversations sometimes go.

Sometimes the weather is just perfect for a wedding. Amy and Anton had a perfect wedding weather last Saturday. Not too hot, not too cold but just right. Funny how it worked. I gave Amy a call the day before and said it would be perfect if we had some clouds. The next day, behold, we got them :)

I really like what Ian said about their relationship: " they have a similar cerebral frequency, intelect meets chemistry and half the time he doesn't need to complete his sentences".
Ian clearly has got a way with words :)

Stephanie and Dale got married last Saturday. It was one of these days when the weather was constatnly changing. Perfect at 3 pm and horrible 30 minutes later. Ceremony location had to be changed one hour before the official starting time. OnlyStephanie could make a decision like this and make sure everyone knew where to go and what to do...

My plan was to take photos full of character: something that shows their personalities and what are they like when no one is watching. I think we're ready for the wedding :)

Stephanie and Dale are getting married in a few feeks. It was time to do a cheeky engagement/pre-wedding session. The super woman Stephanie has 3 jobs at the moment - time is precious for these guys. I mean Lord of the Rings precious. I was thinking happy and positive thoughts for two days trying to mentally influence the weather. And it worked, the weather was fine.

Amy and Anton's wedding is happening soon. It was time to organize their pre-wedding session. This is my take on those engagemnt/pre wedding sessions: it's the best way to get "camera ready" for the wedding and it benefited every single couple I photographed.

My philosophy is this: if you want photos no one else has, you have to do things no one else does. Getting off the beaten track and just exploring is my favourite ways of doing things.

Whenever the subject of scuba diving and photography comes up people always ask if I do underwater photography. Interestingly enough, I don't. Why "interestingly'? Well, I'm a professional photographer and a scuba diving instructor. Diving has been a big part of my life for a long time but it isn't anymore. Photography is. People photography to be exact.

Well, I got Fuji X100T here in Perth (Camera Electronics) a few months after if was released. What made me buy it? It's small, silent, highly customizable, capable, provides great colours and just works. I wanted a camera that does not attract attention. My DSLRs are big and heavy, I got tired of lugging one around.

In street photography quite often it's not about the main event. It's about what's happening before, after and around it.

What makes one to take a photo? I've heard there are two types of photographers out there.

Some time ago I've photographed the wedding of Leila's sister, Kara. I'll be Leila's photographer too when her big day comes. It looks like there is a lot of trust in me in Di Toro family :)
Leila and Conor have known each-other since they were 12 years old. They started dating when they were 16, and the day when they get married will be their 10th anniversary together.

As always, the most important thing for me are the photographs. I don't care about the weather, settings, lenses. These are just the tools to create exciting and beautiful images, catch great moments and make people happy.
Sometimes it feels a little like a game. Jumping over fences, climbing tables and trees. Just because I've got a feeling there might be a great photo somewhere over there.
I've been busy with work recently - weddings, outdoor family sessions, studio portrait sessions, studio families, babies, maternity, large group family shoots ( I had to pose 17 people for this one :) etc ...

I don't know if I'm lucky or I just attract the right people but this was another really cool and happy wedding. Happy is the right word here - Arna could not stop smiling and laughing during the ceremony but I'm getting ahead of myself here.

Small wedding, big images - this is how I feel about the wedding of Kasia and Adam. They tied the knot at the Perth Registry Office with close friends as their witnesses.
Their families were in front of a computer on the other side of the world, as they could not be present in person. Ceremony was very fun, they could not stop laughing.
