Somehow, after and hour of talking about things like how they met (on a bus), and who made the first move (Jo) I had my photos. I find it very interesting how little things, insignificant at first, lead to the big ones. If one of them missed the bus...
Read MoreMy last wedding of 2015 turns into my first blog post of 2016. Paul and Christie were quite lucky with their day it was balmy twenty something all day. Perth summer properly kicked in a few days later and we all experienced wedding cake melting forty something degrees :)
Read MoreSo it finally happened. Nathan and Grace got married. I've been waiting for this one wedding for a long time :)
Read MoreBig 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
Read MoreI havent't lauged so hard during a pre-wedding session in a long time :) This is Paul and Christie enjoying the day in Fremantle.
Read MoreSo 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
Read MoreA 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.
Read MoreSometimes 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 :)
Read MoreI 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 :)
Read MoreStephanie 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...
Read MoreMy 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 :)
Read MoreStephanie 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.
Read MoreAmy 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.
Read MoreMy 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.
Read MoreWhenever 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.
Read MoreWell, 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.
Read MoreIn street photography quite often it's not about the main event. It's about what's happening before, after and around it.
Read MoreWhat makes one to take a photo? I've heard there are two types of photographers out there.
Read MoreSome 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.
Read MoreAs 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.
