Lisa & Jason engagement session

Another cute e-session to blog about. This time it's Lisa and Jason who I will be seeing shortly in a month for their wedding. They quickly warmed up to being in front of the camera and let their personalities out. Canberra has some really great locations packed together - the first shots make me feel like I'm in the tropics!

I'm looking forward to the next 2 months of weddings galore and to sharing them with you!

Amy & Damian engagement session

These two are getting married very soon on April 2nd and I am looking forward to traveling out to Yass, where they are both teachers, for their country wedding. It was great to reconnect with them!

Nora & Fred - December 19th

This was the last wedding of 2010 that I had the pleasure to photograph. It was another amazing year in Canberra that surpassed my expectations and there were so many great experiences that have helped me grow as an artist that I am grateful for.

The happy couple Nora and Fred are both very kind and fun-loving. Nora recently moved from her home country of Vietnam and is training to become a florist, so she went all out the day before to prepare all the flowers for her wedding - an impressive feat that turned out very well, so I would recommend her! We started off for photos at Dunrossil Drive and had their entourage of friends met us half way through (including a recent couple of mine). The ceremony took place at the lunch reception (good thing as it rained once we arrived after photos), and afterward there were Asian delicacies galore - the food didn't seem to stop coming! After the lunch they paid respects to their families with a tea ceremony, which involved a wardrobe change for Nora and also a whole roasted pig as a gift!

Fred wanted to pay homage to the Vietnamese squat...

The kids kept busy playing games... this little guy was doing too well to stop and feed himself apparently!

A very eloquent, touching speech from Nora...

It was some strong stuff - definitely not tea!
