more than 1000 words..: Alexis & Mike... Garden Party.

Hi there, & welcome to the blog.

This is where I post a handful of images from each of my family/wedding type sessions, often with some image treatments applied because... well.. it's kinda fun! :)

You might notice that wherever possible I try and use natural or available light for my pictures, sometimes of course flash must be employed but I try to use it sparingly, and almost never from on top of the camera as it tends to just flatten out whatever I'm photographing.

I do love my work & count myself very fortunate to be able to make a living doing something that offers so many opportunities to work with people on very special occasions in a fun, creative, collaborative endeavor.

Please enjoy the pictures and call or email me if you would like to find out if I might be available to work on a special event for you.

Cheers

Alexis & Mike... Garden Party.

Alexis was just finishing up getting ready as Gina & I arrived at her family home at 10am on Saturday. The house was looking great too as many of the guests would be spending time there later after the ceremony while the bridal party was cruising up to the Botanical Gardens to get some pictures after the ceremony - It was a FABULOUS day!

After a short stop at Mikes family home to grab a couple of pictures of the boys having their first 'shot' of the day, we were off to St Paul at the Cross Church.

After a quick stop at the old Pickwick Movie Theater near the Church we were off to the Botanical Gardens in Glencoe, where Mike first proposed to Alexis.

After dispatching the bridal party and other friends back to the bus we wandered around the gorgeous grounds for another half an hour enjoying the scenery and making the most of photo opportunities around every corner.

Right! Time to go PARTY!

The reception room at the fabulous Airport Intercontinental Hotel was decorated and laid out beautifully.

Mike & Alexis had bottles of Absolute & Jamesons distributed at all the guest tables along with commemorative shot glasses. In this picture they are modelling the appropriate usage!
