I’m proud to announce I have recieved a Silver Award in the 2011 Better Photography Magazine, Photo of the Year Awards. Better Photography is one of my favourite Australian photography magazines and occasionally I’ll give the competitions a go, just to see how I go. Not a category winner, but I’m happy to get a score of over 80 which is better than I have done before.
The photo I entered is of the peak of Mt Cook amongst the Southern Alps on the South Island of New Zealand I took from a Helicopter ride up to 3800meters above sea level. This sight is the greatest I have ever seen and I was high enough to see both the east and west coasts of New Zealand at the same time. This stunning image is now one of the many fine art prints I offer for sale with a limit to 10 editions only. Be the first to get edition one with any of the prices listed below.
10 Editions
8×12” Metallic Print in Gallery Frame $110
12×16” Metallic Print in Gallery Frame $170

20×30” Craftwood Mount (Met. Paper) $300
20×30” Metallic Print Only $160

20×30” i-Direct Acrylic Mount $470
Print Glossary
I-Direct Acrylic Mounts – A unique and ultra modern mount made from clear Archival Grade Acrylic with the image bonded to the back using a UV curing process. This makes the print impervious to condensation build up and mould attack. Colours are accurate and the detail is brilliant. The mounting method utilises a channel system and a spacer to give a floating appearance on the wall. The image is also completely borderless, so not to distract from it.
Craftwood (MDF) Mounting – A print is bonded to a 10mm Medium Density Fibreboard Panel with black edges and utilises the channel mount system. Not recommended for areas exposed to steam or any moisture. The Craftwood Mount is a well priced alternative to other mount types.
Metallic Paper Prints – This paper is the most striking paper type on the market, which is perfectly suited for landscape photographs. The image takes on an almost 3Dimensional quality with incredible detail and explosive colours. The finish is high gloss and it can be either framed in traditional frames, bonded to Craftwood or Foam Core.
If the print were to be exposed it is laminated in an archival grade lacquer for longevity.
Gallery Frame – This frame is what is known as a traditional black wooden frame with a white matt. This is so the frame is not distracting from the artwork. It comes with a basic rope for hanging.

Boy has it been a busy last few months with me having a few wedding gigs to finish off and meeting some more wonderful couples that will be getting married next year. With all the new weddings to come, there should be mountains of blog material coming your way.
- Future bookings: Bookings for 2011 have been closed off to wedding clients, the calendar is simply full and all is booked solid until the end of April 2012. During these times I still will be taking on engagement photography sessions and commercial photography commissions.
- MV Photography will be overseas from August 8th until August 19th for some ‘sit by the pool time’ during the wedding off season to relax and spend some time with wife Belinda. During this time I won’t be able to take any phone calls or reply to emails in many cases (i’ll be quite remote), so I’ll endeavour to get back to you as soon as I land back home.
- Some new gear has been added to the bag during the last 6 months; a Canon 5D Mk II 21MegaPixel beast for ultra high resolution prints, a Sigma 50mm f1.4 prime lens and for travel purposes I bought a new wide angle zoom, the Tokina 20-35mm f2.8 and a Vanguard Up-Rise 28 Camera Bag, which I’ll talk about in future posts. Still on the cards is a good wide angle prime lens, but I’ll need to give that one some time I think.
- In late August I’ll have a fashion shoot for a very exciting up and coming designer based in the outer eastern suburbs of Melbourne. This shoot will hopefully boost her to stardom, so I’ll keep you posted on that one.
- The pricing guide for 2012 is now in development with some new formatting changes, new images and if time allows some new printed products. I am just struggling with time at the moment to organise product samples, so hopefully in time we’ll have some exquisite new coffee table books and new wall hangings.
- Look out soon for photos of Zoe and Ryan’s wedding, photographed at Inglewood Estate, Kangaroo Ground.

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.

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.
The boys are making sure Billy looks sharp
The girls and mum come see the bride Nicole.
Shoes are on, ready to get married

An awesome looking crew. I'm saving more bridal party photos for later
I couldn't resist. It would make a great photobook opening spread

I often get asked ‘How do you do that?’ when I show someone a picture with off camera flash, and of course I am more than happy to oblige as I love to talk camera geekery. I have always been keen on off camera flash, I have practiced it a little bit at home, but I don’t claim I’m a guru on the subject, I just love to have fun with different photographic techniques. In this article I’ll talk about the vision I had for the photograph, the trial and error, the equipment and technique as well as the retouching on a series of images I took with the awesome Nicole and Billy. More after the jump (Click on the title).

A perfect day for the outdoor ceremony
I had the opportunity recently to second shoot for well known Victorian Wedding Photographer Robb Duncan of Pixxil Photography down in Sorrento. The couple could not have asked for a better day, as the weather was fantastic and enjoyed by all the guests at this relaxed garden wedding in Sorrento Park. Hopefully soon we’ll see some more images of this fantastic wedding which was a pleasure to shoot.
Also coming soon is a ‘How To’ article on a recent Engagement Photo Shoot I did recently, which will show how I tackled some portraits with Off Camera Flash on location.
