St Wilfrids were updating their brochure and wanted some new imagery that showcased the human side of their facilities.

My new assistant did a great job of keeping the bags guarded:

Big thank you to all of my models. You did a fantastic job and I hope you enjoyed the day :)

Perfect conditions for a photo shoot? We thought so. Thankfully all equipment survived and Nadine wasn’t complaining too much :P

Here’s a few of our favourites:

Thanks Nadine for braving the elements xx

Thanks also to Canon for making equipment that is at least mildly water resistant!

Woz is a down to earth, genuine, honest bloke who I really look up to. He also has the most contagious laugh, which is super handy at parties as you can always find him no matter how crowded the room.

Lauren is a perfect match for Woz. She keeps him in line but always does so with a smile on her face :)
She’s smart, funny, very sweet AND looked absolutely stunning in her wedding dress.

My aim for the day as with every wedding, was to try and capture true emotion and really tell the story of the day through my photos. They’re a happy, fun and cheeky couple, so I wanted the images to reflect that.

It absolutely bucketed down when we went off to do the couples portraits. Made for some cool atmospheric images though. For this one we had about 5 umbrellas going, covering flash units etc. Thankfully the couple stayed reasonably dry. Can’t say the same for myself but was all worth it!

Scott, delivering his best man speech. Notice the image in the background? Warren’s face on Justin Bieber’s body. Hilarious. Had the entire room keeled over.

Nana was so cute. I love moments like these.

Thanks again for having me there Woz and Loz. Was an honour to be there and has ended up being one of the best weddings I’ve ever had the privilege of photographing.

Big love,
Damo

First of all my blog has had a pretty major overhaul. I’m now able to post much bigger images so going forward you won’t have to squint as much! I most likely won’t get time to update old posts, but any new ones will have pics at the larger size.

Lots of other geeky stuff has happened to the site too, most importantly I’ve managed to cut page load time down with various tweaks. Won’t go into details as am sure it’s of little interest, but just means a better user experience which can only be a good thing.

Have had quite a few shoots since I got back from Aus. Will be posting them over the coming weeks. Now if only I get a few more hours in the day… :/

Many people involved in this but a huge thank you to Antoinette from Zaylia Cosmetics who helped me tremendously with the organisation.

It was a super hot day and we got eaten by mosquitos, green ants, and not to mention the sun. Also had loads of gear to carry over sand (no rolling the cases like we normally can…) so a big thanks to my assistants for the day Becky and Taylor. Got some great photos though so was all worth it in the end :)

Model: Whitney – Mirror Mirror Agencies
Make up: Antoinette Turner
Assistants (via Brisbane Camera Hire): Becky Bligh and Taylor Scott

Thanks again team for all your help on the day.

Cheers,
Damian
