Lisa and Jason’s Wedding in Yallingup

 

What a day!!! Jason and Lisa were married on Smith’s Beach Yallingup and had their reception at Vasse Felix Winery. Here is a sneek peak of a few of the images from the day.

I love the moment between Lisa’s father and his grandson. This photo just says so much about their relationship!

I want to Thank Lisa’s bridesmaids for asking me to take a few photos of her in the bathtub. Really unusual shots and really arty.

The next couple of photos are great moments. I am sure they will tell their own story. Photography Tip: So many people ask “How do you capture such a great moment?”. The answer is to pre-meditate the moment and be ready to capture it as it happens. Pre-focus and make sure your exposure is spot on before it is too late.

The Weather was perfect for photography. It was overcast with a little bit of sun popping out from the clouds every so often. The shots with the Chev Limo were taken at the entrance road of Vasse Felix Winery. Photography Tip: To create the lovely fuzzy background, shoot with a wide depth of field using an aperture of around f2.8, just be sure to have your focusing spot on.

Congratulations to Lisa and Jason on their Wedding! Would love to hear your comments!!!

Faizal’s Portrait shoot with pet Python Diego at Viva Armadale

Faizal came into the Viva  Armadale studio for solo shoot, I must admit although excited we were also slightly apprehensive as Faizal said he would be bringing along his pet Python snake!….. we were quite relieved as Diego was only a couple of feet long, gorgeous and an absolute pleasure to photograph!

Riley’s toddler photoshoot at Viva Photography Subiaco

18 month old Riley enjoyed smiling for the camera at his photo shoot in Subiaco. Mum Gail looked on while Riley took on the role of model for an afternoon. The biggest challenge was to make sure Riley didn’t eat the bubbles!

Solonge and Phil’s Wedding at St Marys Cathedral

Here is a sneak peek of photos from Phil and Solonge’s wedding on March 31st 2012. I love the first shot of Phil, his Father and two brothers all together in the mirror – A day of reflection. Check out the little mirrors, they have reflected little details of Phil such as his tie and hair.

The next photo of Solonge and her Father was such a beautiful moment. From this moment to walking her down the aisle and onto his speech, Solonge’s father was a very proud man.

We were on the hunt for amazing light and found it in Kings St, Perth. In the photo of Solonge in front of Louis Vuitton, a window is reflecting a strong light giving a theatrical feel (no artificial light here).  

The boys asked me all day to photograph them with their sunglasses on. I thought this was a pretty cool shot of Phil in a reflection of his sunglasses. Something to remember when photographing a reflection is ‘Always have your subject in full sunlight’.

I have been playing around with a couple of different compositions lately hence why I love the shot with Solonge and Phil with her veil blowing in the foreground. Even though their is so much happening in this shot, the line of the veil in the foreground leads you into the romantic moment between Phil and Solonge.

Solonge looked absolutely amazing in her dress with a change from veil to fascinator late in the afternoon. Elegant, beautiful, stunning!!!! I used a small depth of field in the last photo to give that lovely soft feel and to really direct all focus to Solonge’s amazing eyes.

Congratulations Phil and Solonge!! An amazing day, I can’t wait to show you the remainder photos in your album plan.

Regards

Gary

Jo and Anthony’s pregnancy and newborn shoots at VIVA! Photography Frankston Victoria

We had the pleasure of capturing one of the most special times in a couple’s relationship, the time when two becomes three. Jo and Anthony’s pregnancy shoot at the Viva! Photography Frankston studio was just oozing with love, not to mention when they returned five weeks later for their newborn shoot with the most adorable bundle of joy! Little Jack was a superstar who loved being in the spotlight, and we can’t wait to capture him as he grows.
