It was certainly a midsummer wedding, Susan and Nick’s big day was very hot indeed. They were such an amazing couple to be around, both so welcoming and calm as well. It was a pleasure to have been a part of their fabulous wedding day and here is the sneak peek for all to enjoy. The bride is also a girl after my own heart and has her own holga – so I also shot 6 rolls of medium format film of the wedding party down by the water. These are currently being processed and I will be sure to blog them as soon as I can. Excuse the number of photos, I think its possibly the longest blog post ever as I was there from 8.30am until midnight. Hope you guys have a wonderful honeymoon and I will be in touch shortly with the rest of the photographs. You can also see some holga film images I took of their wedding here.

Even Sandy the dog, gave me a smile when the camera was out























I often take photographs of groups that are milling around organising the formal photographs… true candids.

Then his phone starting ringing, mid shoot.. and yes he did answer !

The bride bought along a chalk board especially to capture this sign to finish off her album

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! After carefully reading everyone’s entries in the Valentine’s Day competition and enjoying all of them, I sat back and thought about which one should win. I sat and sat and sat and thought and thought and thought…. and couldn’t decide as they were all so wonderful! So in the end I read them out to my family and there were unanimous in their choice…. the Hot Air Balloon entry over the Hunter Valley! They positively shouted it out! So thanks Cathy for your imaginative entry and I will be in touch shortly to discuss!

A big thank you to everyone for taking the time to enter and tell me your lovely stories, they made for wonderful reading and I wish you all the very best on this Valentine’s Day!

I am going to post the 2nd installment of the last lifestyle shoot so look out for that asap! Here is a sneak peek of it…..

This session is called ‘Just Because’ – no wedding, no engagement, no newborn… Just bccause two people love each other is enough to capture it forever. Christine is a photographer herself, and has recently started Pobke Photography in Canberra. I was so happy when she contacted me for a ‘Just Because’ session with her husband, Clinton. We chatted on the phone organising the shoot and threw around a heap of ideas and let me tell you, Christine is a woman of details. It was a very VERY hot day, but we managed to keep our spirits high with some wading and wine …. the shoot lasted a good 3.5hrs so I am splitting the post into two. Here is the first part, enjoy!

Firstly apologies for my blogging absence, I have received quite a few emails wondering where I am! I am moving house, to Sydney’s Eastern suburbs so its a bit chaotic here. I have at least 8 sessions I need to blog and I know K&B are dying to see their shoot so here it is!

As soon as I met this couple, I knew we were on the same page with our vision. It is so exciting for me to meet a couple that love my work and are up for anything. They bought some fabulous props for us to play with for their ‘Save the Date’ cards and don’t you just love her dress and flower! The forest where we were shooting was amazing as well. I can’t wait to shoot your wedding, which promises to be filled with so many beautiful details.

A gorgeous family garden setting, relaxed bride and groom, intimate wedding party, sweet children, fabulous house and such fun photographing with Katie. This was her brother’s wedding and she wanted to shoot but also wanted to enjoy the day so it was a great set up for both of us to shoot or take over as need be.

The day was overcast and intimate, the food was divine and mostly cooked by her brother as well and the dress was green! The whole day was completely amazing and thank you again for letting me into your gorgeous family circle to capture it for you. It is no secret that I love second shooting on occasion and this was truly just the perfect day for this and I had a lot of fun with my tilt shift lens as you will see. There were so many favourites, I included mostly the more creative ones I get to shoot when I am assisting so enjoy!

This little girl was very interested in my camera and followed me around for a large portion of the wedding

As a 2nd shooter,  I can have a little more fun with the classic formal portraits

The number 20 is for Dec 20th, their wedding day

Brisbane Commercial Shoot for Carson Hall: The last light of the day was calling so we found these gorgeous fields to shoot in. It was sprinkling with rain most of the time as well which just added to the fun. Thank you girls for being so fabulous during our full day shoot. It was so fabulous doing this shoot for your amazing business …  and best of luck with everything!

If your business needs commercial photography, I would love to chat so please call me on 0404 842410 or send an email – caspix[@]mac.com

I really love stop motion. Here is the latest one from the Carson Hall epic car park shoot Take a while to load but patience! It is worth the wait.

For those that don’t know, stop motion films are lots of image stills spliced together to look like a jumpy film …. I find them so much more interesting that normal video and they make me laugh every time! There are over 800 photographs put together to make this film below, enjoy!

A beautiful Sydney wedding at Freshwater beach. Just a small sneak peek from yesterday afternoon…. brides, if you are planning a small wedding on the Northern beaches, have a look at Pilu Restaurant, it is one of the most spectacular beach side Sydney wedding venues with many awards.

This was the most stunning and relaxed brides I have ever had the pleasure to witness getting married and we felt like friends right from the start. I adore small weddings as it is always more about the bride and groom and they had the most perfect weather as well. It was a joy to spend that time with their family and friends and I wish you all the best in your married life. I will have your slide show up shortly.

Here is a view of the view with a tilt shift lens….

CarsonHall Photography Commercial Shoot Part I of III.

Brisbane. Dawn. Cold. Huge Red Couch. Mud Flats.

This was how we started the first shoot of the day. The Carson Hall team are fantastic wedding photographers located in Brisbane and we have been in talks about this commercial shoot on and off for a few months. The brief was to shoot something fun and funky for their website. We would be doing 3 different looks, the first one being retro tinged with a ‘night after’ type feel to it. I woke up at about 3.30am and couldn’t get back to sleep with thoughts running through my head, finally the alarm went off and we were out of there. The light was quite cold to start with and we kept waiting for the sun to break through the cloud bank out at sea but didn’t happen until they had picked up the couch to take it home! Ah well, we had so much fun running around the flats though (besides the 1000’s of worms I was standing on the entire time) …

Stay tuned for parts II and III coming soon!

…and bad blogger! But I have some fabulous excuses including a work trip to Brisbane for what ended up being 4 photo shoots and had such a good time. Spent some quality time with some good friends, made some new ones and shot some great images. Also had school holidays so lots of family time… and bubble blowing of course!

I have also had the birthday week long celebration of my middle son… I dont remember birthdays lasting a week when I was a kid but they definitely seem to now He also decided that on his birthday, he should ride his big bike without training wheels and took off immediately without a second glance… I was so happy to be able to capture it. My mum gave him a helping hand while I shot the action.



Once he had the hang of it, like a true boy went straight to the top of the nearest hill and flew straight down with his big brother….

Last Sunday was one of the most colourful weddings I have ever witnessed. I was honoured to be part of a Sydney Indian wedding ceremony and am currently going through so many colourful, happy, dancing photographs! But for now, I leave you a sneak peek of the beautiful couple just married.

(I will be in Brisbane shooting over the weekend so please feel free to send an email or text if it’s urgent. Otherwise all messages will be answered on Monday)
