Charlie crawls!

Yay! Charlie crawled for the first time the other night. Of course the video cameras both decided to fail us but I had my trusty camera ready!

He loves the remote control so our ploy was he would crawl to get it and he did! Little legs bunched up under his bum, pushed forward and plop - got the remote.

Here he is…check out the drool!!!


I think I can. I think I can.

My new baby (no, not Charlie)

OMG I’m so excited! After purchasing the 5D a little while ago, I am losing the need for my crop camera and the Sigma 30 f/1.4 is not suitable for the full frame sensor. So…I am selling that and my 17-85mm IS USM which I barely use any more and I have just ordered………

The 35L f/1.4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so excited (did I say that?) I was debating between this and the 24L but I thought it may be a little wide. I used to have a 35 on my old, old film camera and it was such a good walk around lens. After reading reviews on both I have decided this will fit my needs better. Great for groups, churches and receptions. Happy Happy Day.

Thought I had better get in before the end of the financial year so I can get some money back in a few weeks! I will be sure to post some great piccies as soon as it gets in my hot little hands.

Not even the rain can dampen my mood today!

Me and my embarrassing tunes…

OMG I’m just listening to some U2 ’cause my hubby loves them and we’re both in the office ’surfing’ away and I have realised I have left two important songs off the list below!!!

With or Without You and All I Want is You

WOWY is making me teary just listening to it now!

I wonder how much the copyright would be so I could purchase All I Want Is You to use on my wedding slideshows - perfect song! I can dream…

Fleetwood Mac - Rhiannon God how I love Fleetwood Mac. They rock! I have the DVD of their live performance a few years ago as well. Now that’s embarrassing!

Belinda Carlisle - Summer Rain I remember living in the UK when this came out. I used to dance to it with my best mate at the age of 9!

Hungry Eyes from Dirty Dancing Sexy! - love that part of the film.

Mark and Kate’s Wedding

Saturday turned out to be such a beautiful day, photographing alongside the fabulous Erinna at the wedding of Kate and Mark Bain. The weather held out, the light was gorgeous and the bride was stunning. One of the reasons I love weddings is to see families come together to celebrate and this day was no exception. Lovely, happy people sharing in Kate and Mark’s joy.

Also, a quick shout out to Aaron from Everafter Productions. Aaron and I actually went to Uni together many, many years ago! Great to catch up with you!
Kate, you look so happy here. Not long to go now…


Teanna, Kate’s flowergirl getting ready.

I love this next one…

Ready to go, freshly lip-glossed!

What a stunning dress Kate chose. Her mum, Lynn, threaded the ribbon carefully while
Erinna and I got some great images.

Kate and Teanna, about to leave for the ceremony.

Love this…

Lynn about to walk her daughter down the ‘aisle’ that is the footpath through
the gardens of Kings Park to the Water Pavilion.

A quick look at the surrounds on the way to the ceremony.

Bridesmaid Jodie looks on.

Awww…

‘Hands off! He’s mine!’

The bubbles added such a great atmosphere to the day and as Erinna pointed out on her
blog, followed us right into the reception!

The Monarch butterflies were a present from Lynn, Kate’s mum, and a surprise to the bride and groom.

I LOVE this shot! What an expression!

Kate reorganises her dress, showing off her newly acquired ring.

Hugs all round!

The ever-amusing groomsmen, Ronald and Brenton.

I love Kaleb the pageboy’s body language in this shot - ‘You’ve kissed enough already!’

Kate shares a laugh with her proud dad.

A quiet moment.

Man, these two were adorable!

Stunning cars for a stunning bride and groom.

Wow, the light filtering through the trees was AMAZING. It truly was a photographer’s dream.
I had so many favourites from this part of the day.

One of my favourites - such a beautiful moment.

Dancing in the afternoon glow…

This is me multitasking- holding a video light for Erinna and taking piccies at the same time!

Onto the reception at the Esplanade in Freo.

A special gift for a special pageboy.

What a great cake! Mark’s grandparents made it and I love the little likenesses of Kate and Mark on top. Cute!

Thank you Mark and Kate for letting me be a part of your day. I wish you and your family all the best for the future.
