Diana's Bridal Shower

These images are from a Bridal Shower i was lucky enough to shoot a little while ago. It was so amazing being a part of the experience, i was buzzing around as quietly as possible trying to capture all the special small details while hearing all the amazing stories and seeing how much each of these women cared for each other through the years. It makes me hope that when the time comes for me I have that many people who care about me and share this time with them. There was a lot of reminiscing followed with some superb cake!  

Congratulations to Diana, who got married last month!

A heart warming letter to every woman there that summed up their relationship. They were really touching. 

It was at the Shangri-La hotel with the most spectacular view!

A day at the beach

Do not be deceived by these calm and warm looking pictures, this day was ferociously windy!!! I also made the mistake of turning up to the shoot in just shorts. The wind was particularly annoying because we had to shoot in dresses - Marilyn moment! 
But it meant there were hardly any people around and the sand was beautifully flat. 

However we got it done super fast and then talked over coffee for longer than we shot :P Probably also because it was the barista's first day and ermagerd she took forever. And just because I'm sure everyone is eager to know, I had a slice of carrot cake and Joanne had the cheesecake. yum yum yum

I think that's my most favourite thing about photography, it allows me to meet some truly amazing people and share the most absurd and intimate stories you normally wouldn't tell a stranger. As a photographer you have to build a connection with those you work with and it's something I'll have to keep developing, but sometimes it's easy when you meet lovely ladies such as Joanne :) Thank you so much again!

I think i should take more random behind the scenes shots?

more with courtney

These were my favourites with Courtney. It's interesting seeing what regular people respond to and what photographers prefer. I've also been trying to pin point my style and I guess it's quite "pretty" and very light. I definitely want to push my photographs further and create more story or push a certain idea across. There will also be future shoot with Courtney :3 excited!

Some very pretty photos I took with Courtney, a first time model. I bought some cheap string of flowers at one of those random stores I really wanted to use and thrifted the material for $3 from vinnies score!! We went to explore Paramatta park and I was drawn to the beautiful light reflecting off the stream (dam? river? i have no idea) We were close to falling in but it all worked out in the end :D Also can't forget the bird attacks we survived haha! So many cockatoos...

It was a lovely day, filled with lovely photos and people. Would also like to thank Charlene for doing the make up and chilling on the picnic blanket for 2hrs observing us from afar. Must have been sooo boring.

More photos from this shoot soon.
