You guys are an awesome couple and your family is beautiful.  Loved being part of the lively and colourful Polynesian cultural traditions - your wedding was truly a joy to be a part of!

Welcome to 2011!

How did you spend your first day of the new year?  I (late) started the day with a mini shoot for my bro while he's in town.  My niece and nephew, Rachel and Matt, are such cuties.  I love their smiles!

I was reminded today about what I love about Photography.  Photos are so much a part of our life that we sometimes take for granted how incredibly amazing photography is - "drawing with light".  That we can take a moment and keep a tangible image of it, not just what is etched in our memory.  

With that, I am happy to have started the year already keeping souvenirs of moments, and looking forward to more marvelous ones in 2011!  

 

Sandra & Neil

My sister is visiting from London and she remarked today how green Brisbane is.  We've had dry spells and water restrictions, and now rainy days... and rainy photo shoots!  

Sandra, Neil and I met, wet umbrellas in tow, hoping for a break in the downpour.  No chance, though as it only got heavier.  We decided to head to the cloister and covered walkways of the Great Court at the University of Queensland, and met other wedding parties who had the same idea on a rainy day.  We were joined by Serene and Gareth - Yay!  Assistants!  They were happily hired to hold reflectors and umbrellas - really for the cameras more than the photographer!  Thanks guys for a great shoot and the fun!
