I knew from the first moment I met these guys, that the wedding day was going to be a hell of a lot of fun to shoot, and I wasn’t wrong. The laughter on this day was contagious, so I had trouble keeping the camera steady. Even when I’m sorting through the images on the computer I had to giggle to myself, especially when the boys were goofing around for the camera early on in the day. Melanie and Ryan are truly meant for each other, their gaze never left each other since Ryan’s first sighting in the chapel of Potters in Warrandyte. The weather forecast really was looking gloomy the day before, but the sun shone all day since events started in the afternoon, perfectly fitting for these two bright personalities.

Deluxe Series Press Book

October 10, 2011

Hot off the press is a new photo book sample from my book manufacturer. This range is exclusive to professionals only and available in 12×12″ square, 12×16″ and the enormous 12×17.5″ (pictured). This book is a must have to display your wedding photography, it has an amazing presence and it is not too fragile to have lying around for all of your house guests to see and touch. Having this style of book allows you to have a generous amount of photographs to better tell the wedding day story and not cost as much as a 20side flush mount album. As standard you get 80sides, but you can have up to 300.

The 12×12″ starts at $990 and includes a gorgeous protective lift lid box. All features are detailed in the captions of the photos. As an introductory offer to past wedding wedding clients MV Photography is offering 20% off this series of Press Books until the end of November 2011.

Leather models feature personalised blind stamping on case and book cover

Buckram models have foil embossing available (not pictured)

Premium Leathers and Buckram finishes are available in many different colours for both book covers and storage cases

A lift ribbon is fitted to the case for easy removal of book

Inside pages feature are velum like paper to protect the first and last layouts

The first layout will often feature a beautiful full bleed image

Your book will be personalised inside with your names and wedding date

Each layout is custom designed for the image sequence

The 12x17.5" has an enormous presence and would certainly make your friends jealous

Most books will feature a full double page spread that is contextual to your wedding day

Layouts are clean and uncluttered for a timeless look

A details page is always created so you can remember how amazing they look together

Last Saturday was the marriage of two people much in love. Sonya Chindamo and I had the fun gig of photographing these two and their wedding day and it absolutely flew by, just simply because a good time was had by all. Here is just a teaser of some of the images taken.

Earlier this year I had the opportunity to assist the very talented photographer Robert Hock at a truly beautiful city wedding. I unfortunately had little opportunity to fire off many shots in between carrying bags, holding video lights and flashes, but the images below show a couple of things I spotted in my downtime with the limited equipment I packed. I also had free reign to experiment with some photo processing techniques to have a little fun. Working with Robert I learnt a great deal about arranging large bridal parties, posing techniques and the use of video light (which I recently invested in). Congratulations to Lyndsay and Matthew on their marriage, it was a privilege to be part of your day.

Here are the rest of the images from Zoe and Ryan’s beautiful love filled winter wedding that I wanted to upload before I went on my break. I can highly recommend Inglewood Estate as a venue, the staff there are super friendly and you could photograph twenty different weddings there and still not two photos the same, due the numerous shooting locations there. You can see the first sneak peek here that I uploaded in late June. While I’m on my holidays, still feel free to email any enquiries; there just maybe a delay in the response. Enjoy, and until next time…

Here are the rest of the images from Yael and Simon’s beautiful Autumn wedding from Coonara Springs in Olinda. Soon I’ll be working with Yael again to photograph her amazing range of knit wear she designs for a promotional catalogue, which I am really looking forward to and I wish her success with the project. I’m especially proud of these images from myself and my talented second shooter and wife Belinda, and I thank Yael and Simon for giving me the opportunity to photograph their wedding. At the end of the post are all the local vendors that provided a service for this amazing wedding which contributed to the true Mount Dandenong charm.

Last weekend I had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Zoe and Ryan at ever beautiful Inglewood Estate in Kangaroo Ground, Victoria. The weather held out and didn’t rain on the parade fortunately, giving us the opportunity to shoot the formal part of the photography outside. It was only when everyone went inside for the party at the restaurant the heavens opened up a little. Lets say I got only a little wet when photographing the exterior of the venue. Enjoy some teaser photos until the full blog post in about five or six weeks. Stay tuned for the rest of Yael and Simon’s Autumn wedding in the coming days.

Last Saturday I had the pleasure of photographing the union between two amazing souls, Yael and Simon. The weather was perfect, the trees were full of colour and smiles were everywhere. Here is just a taste of some of the images taken on the day, stay tuned for a full blog post in a few weeks.

Earlier this year I had the opportunity to work with the ever talented Robb Duncan of Pixxil Photography at the wedding of Steph and Steve in Sorrento Victoria.  The day was perfect, the setting was perfect, overall it was a great day for the ceremony at Sorrento Park followed by a party fuelled reception at the Baths Restaurant which was a lot of fun. Working as a second shooter I was taking images a little different from when I work as the primary photographer, it gives a slightly different perspective and more candid images than the main photographer on the day, which gives you that extra something for your photobook or album. MV Photography offers the service of an additional hired professional photographer to any of the packages in the pricing guide.

I hope you enjoy the images.

On Saturday March 5th I had the privilege  of photographing Nicole & Billy’s wedding on Phillip Island and the reception in San Remo at the exquisite SilverWater Resort. You may remember the first Engagement Session I have ever photographed with them in January. I couldn’t imagine a day with better weather, it was 19 degrees, very lightly clouded with a gentle sea breeze. The day went without a hitch, everything happened on time, there were no wardrobe malfunctions and we had a great afternoon of amazing locations for the photography. Congratulations to Nicole and Billy, Belinda and I wish you all the best for the future. Be sure to keep an eye on the blog and the Facebook page to see more images of this fantastic wedding.
