Being asked to pack the bags and travel to Tamworth to capture Lisa and Rod’s amazing wedding.

A huge honour.

A day full of friendship, emotion, laughter and love (& some great rides*…)

Keeping things fresh, this teaser’s a little different.

Everything been hidden through the use of selective focus & compositions, shadows & silhouettes.

Special thanks to the talented Antony and Mary Ann from North Coast Photography in Coffs Harbour. It was great catching up with them - we had such a great time shooting together and captured some amazing imagery and moments. To see the day through their eyes click through to their blog entry.

If you’ve got any comments or would like to leave a message for Lisa & Rod please feel free.

* the wheels included: 2 pristine ‘57 chevvys, a hot rod and some top of the line caprices. Tamworth didn’t know what hit it ;)

26 Oct 2009 Alex & Karen | Coolangatta wedding | a love story
Author: matt |  Category: love story, promotions, video, weddings  | Tags: , , ,  | 5 Comments

Beautiful wedding in Coolangatta over the weekend with Alex & Karen. Such a natural, down to earth couple - the love & respect they have for each other and their family and friends shone through all day.

They exchanged intimate vows at the beautiful Froggie’s Beach and despite the weather threatening to turn nasty it did hold off for every key moment. Duranbah Beach was the location for a photo session - first time working with Lauren Joy photography which was great fun.

Now that their wedding has taken place, I can finally share the love story they won from our promotion a couple of months ago - a little insight into a great couple, their love and a brief look at how it all began.

This was a surprise to everyone, which screened midway through the reception for the guests and it got an amazing response. Loads of smiles, laughter and even a few tears…enjoy.

P.S. Favourite quote - Alex: “A boat’s a boat - you give a man a boat and you get the keys to his heart!”

23 Jul 2009 Brett & Haylee | magic moments

Not sure what it is with best men these days but they’re definitely delivering some knockout speeches.

In between a little friendly roasting (including a couple of the funniest mates stories I’ve come across), Brett’s best man Mike said some of the nicest things I’ve ever heard between a best man and a mate. I knew the moment they came out of his mouth that his words were going to be a perfect fit for their magic moments clip.

Here’s the magic moments clip from Brett and Haylee’s gorgeous Brisbane wedding.

As always, comments welcome…

15 Jun 2009 Love story | special promotion
Author: matt |  Category: promotions  | Tags: ,  | 3 Comments

Something very exciting to announce with this post (actually a couple of things) :)

We’re giving away 2 (yes 2!) love story shoots worth $500 each! Completely obligation free* (sorry - no bonus steak knives to give away though.)

For those that haven’t seen them before, our love stories are a chance to get out and have some fun shooting prior to the wedding, and at the same time tell your story. It’s a priceless archive to have not only for now but for future generations to see, and something that is always treasured.

We spend a couple of hours together, having a casual chat about the 2 of you, how you met, your story, hopes for the future etc. Afterwards we shoot some footage of you with each other at chosen locations - similar to the photo shoot on the wedding day (it’s also a perfect rehearsal for the day by allowing you to get comfortable having a camera around). The footage is then edited to a chosen track, with the interviews forming the narrative of the clip.

This is not a game of skill (unless speed is a skill) - they will go to the first couples to comment below and mention this offer. As soon as the offers are taken up, the winning couples names will added to this post.

There are 2 love stories to be won, and they’ll be allocated as follows:

Love story #1 is being given away to the first couple to make a new booking that mention the offer.

Love story #2 is being given away to the first couple that hold a current booking that mention the offer (this is motivated by my personal dislike for promotions that are offered but apply ‘to new bookings only’)

This is not going to be announced anywhere else - this blog post is it - I’m thinking of it as a kind of online Easter Egg hunt (might also flush out the blog stalkers fans) ;)

To enter, simply click on the add comment link and leave a comment in the box below…The comments have to be moderated and will be approved in the order they’re received.

I’m very excited to find out who the lucky winners will be!

* Don’t you just love those asterisks? There are just a couple of conditions, but as you can probably tell by the general tone of the post, nothing too heavy…

update:

Karen & Alex have won love story #2 for their October wedding. Karen actually posted her comment 5 minutes after the promotion went live - pretty hard to beat!

Anna & Wayne have won love story #1 for their August wedding, which is in 2 short weeks. It’ll be posted on the blog after it premieres on their big day - can’t wait!

Thanks for the entries guys - I’m looking forward to putting them together.

For those of you that discovered this offer late, please check back regularly - there’s going to be a couple more specials running. To make sure you don’t miss out, you can subscribe to our blog via RSS feed (just click the funny looking thing above the ‘archives’  in the left hand column) and every time there’s a new post you’ll be notified.
