Photo Biz Bootcamp

In February I took part in Liana Lehman Hall's popular Photo Biz Bootcamp which conveniently travelled to Canberra, thanks to the persistence of Christine Pobke and hosted by the gracious Kelly Tunney. The 'BBC' was very valuable in making sure our businesses are headed on the right track and helping us figure out the things that photographers really don't want to be thinking about, like finances (blah!). It ended with a fun bridal shoot of the now-famous Nat and Victor, a very friendly and out-going couple that Kelly had the pleasure of shooting for their wedding. I've posted a few of my faves here. Thanks to Heather Turk for doing the hair and make-up!

Erin & Sam - February 13th

It rained and rained, and then it kept raining some more. It was the most rain that parched Canberra has seen in years, but there is a saying that this is a sign of good luck on a wedding day. There was plenty of room for all inside at DeVine Function Centre at the Kamberra Wine Company, and everyone enjoyed having to stay in for a change. There was a nice veranda for outdoor photos and the rain let up enough for Erin and Sam to venture outside to the would-be ceremony site and enjoy the view of the vineyards.

Hailey & Shane - February 6th

Hailey & Shane were lucky to have such a beautiful, mild summer's day for their big event. The couple and bridal party shots all happened before the wedding along the lake which helped them relax, before heading to the Burns Club for the romantic ceremony. There was lots of fun as well with the cute flower girls and pageboys...

Practicing just before the big event...

Sarah & Donovan - January 16th

It's always fascinating for me to hear a couple's story about how they met. Sarah & Donovan share a love of car racing, and met at the local hillclimb race track where they both raced. We went back to the track for some fun (although in a much slower vintage car) and were greeted by rain which we escaped while at Parliament Hill. We did our best not to get inundated but we were forced to run for it. We did get a nice lightning show though! The rain let up eventually to allow for a few outdoor shots at Goolabri Country Resort and the sun even poked through at the end.




















Even the roos were getting into the festive spirit...
