Family Session with Vintage Tractors

8/22/2017

 
I was very lucky to find a fabulous place with vintage tractors. The owner is an avid collector and, by the condition  of them, you can tell his love for his collection. This beautiful family enjoyed the uniqueness of the session and I enjoyed photographing it.  The barn proved to be an excellent backdrop too!

I Hired a Cheap Wedding Photographer!

8/11/2017

 
Good photography is more than a fancy camera. I have spent hours and hours training to be a photographer and alot more photographing weddings. I know how to get the shot every time. I know how to compose the shot beautifully and then execute it with skill and precision. It isn’t the camera that does this – it is me.

​As I shoot in manual – I tell the camera what it should be doing rather than allowing the camera’s sensors to make the decisions for me. So if you want that beautiful photograph of you and your new husband or wife gorgeously backlit by a red sunset – you can only get that with a pro because the camera just cannot correctly read that light.

I know how the day flows. It is the experience of being at 100s of different weddings that allows me to know just where to look and when. I know the time in the wedding when I can sneak a shot of your dad looking at you with a tear in his eye. I know to expect that moment just after the vicar asks for objections and know the church will break into nervous laughter and the bride will pull a priceless face. These are the things you can only get with experience.

I know how to work in tricky lighting. I am not bothered by bright sunlight or dark church ceremonies. I can walk into any room and know within seconds where the best spot is to stand and where the best light will be. Every time. Without fail.

​I am experienced in dealing with the raw emotions of a wedding day. I know how to get mum to stop repeating the time every 10 minutes while the bride breaks out into a cold sweat because she might be 3 minutes late for the wedding. I know how to deal with the usher who had a few too many before the ceremony even started. I can get a big group of people rounded up for photos – cheerfully, cooperatively and without yelling. I know how to advise you on lacing that dress that looked so easy to lace in the shop but now looks like a 50000 piece jigsaw puzzle. I know how to get you calmed down when the flowers show up and they are the wrong colour. This takes years of experience and finding out what to say (and what not to say!) during a day when everyone’s emotions are sky high.
