Genevieve

I have a photographer friend called Genevieve, or Gen. She has wild hair, big eyes, worships the ocean, and thinks that everything looks better in black and white. She's pretty unique.
When she's talking about something she's really passionate about or is making a sarcastic point in conversation, her eyes get really, really big and quite often when she's talking I just accidentally tune out of what she's saying and just look at her eyes. Not a good habit to have.
Anyway I decided I wanted to try and take a photo of her that sort of shows off her eyes, so she came for a walk with me at the lake opposite my house. We left it pretty late in the day and were also going very slowly because we were talking too much, so we used up every last bit of light from the sun and then when that was gone we used a bit of moonlight. 

On our way home the moon had actually risen so Gen had a little dance underneath it, and then we had a few glasses of red and it was a great day.

I'm pretty happy to know such a beautiful, genuine woman.

Jess and Alex's Wedding

One of good friends from my CIT Photography course recently got engaged, and I was honoured to be asked to photograph her wedding. There was a bit of pressure photographing a photographer, but it was mostly great coz Jess was just all about the photos, and had some great ideas to throw in. She is also ridiculously beautiful and elegant, perfect! 

I had decided that I wanted to shoot the bridal party photos on a large hill in an even larger paddock on a random farm that Jess showed me. I was all prepared to make them climb through a barbed wire fence and trudge up the hill before Jess's mum had the brilliant idea to just ask the farmer if we could drive everyone up the hill. Good work Rebecca, I don't think I would have been very popular otherwise. It was a beautiful location though, all golden fields and sunshine (worth climbing through barbed wire fences for).

Thanks Jess and Alex for letting me photograph your big day, it's so obvious how in love these guys are. See you after the honeymoon Jess! xxx
