sprinkling rain did not dampen spirits at this gorgeous and simple wedding last summer. i was co-shooting for Fstop Studios – this was the first time i had worked with Bret Lucas and it was super fun! i thought i would be a little intimidated because he’s a very experienced highly technical photographer, specialising in lighting – kinda the opposite to my style really! but not at all: he’s such a nice guy and even gave me control of some of the formal portraits! Bret kindly gave me permission to publish some of my own favourite shots from the day – so here they are! first: preparation photos 🙂
family and friends… 1 feb ’14
February 1st, 2014can i just say – i LOVE these guys 🙂
we have been good friends for several years (through church) – and they are just great people to have in your life. last summer, their son signed up for the armed forces… and he was due to leave for basic training. so i wanted to do a family shoot for them before he left – something they’ve never had before.
it was SO MUCH FUN – these guys surprised even me with their silly playfulness, and we had a ball mucking around in the sunset-coloured paddocks near their home. you can see how much they simply enjoy each other’s company – in spite of the normal sibling issues and occasional teenage attitude, these guys are like this *holds up crossed fingers*.
a family together once again… 6 jan ’14
