Nicole: Bridal (With Vibrant Photography)

As you know, yesterday we blogged PART 1, of the shoot Jonathan and I did :) And as promised, I would put up part two :) Again, I have purposely left some photos unsharpened for a more organic feel to the images :)

So without further ado, meet Nicole....

We started indoors, to play with Jon's amazing light.. I was astounded. I'm not a fan of flash or off camera lighting, but this was really pretty!! I got told this baby, look awesome shot in broad daylight too... I cant wait to see!!

Then something more moody.

Then we proceeded to go outside (back to the freezing cold! hehe), to play in my favourite kinda zone :) Isn't nicole stunning? :D

I love the subtlety in this below photo. I sometimes honestly think, less is more :)

We had some seriously amazing light that day. Awful temperatures and insane wind, but beautiful beautiful light.
























Then a quick change of attire.It was FREEZING by this point. So cold and bitterly painful on the skin that we had to wrap this up really quickly. I think 20 mins? Nicole was utterly professional and nailed her frames though :)

I really do love how all the chairs were blown over by the wind. It created this lovely random, feel that fitted just perfectly. Total juxtaposition, but I love it!!

Red heels, and any other bright color makes my day!! :D

These last two frames were my favourite :) You all know I love shooting close up :) Its frames like this that remind me why :)




I just realized that sessions like these, are perfect for us girls... you know, to get pretty pictures of ourselves, without having to bother our lovely other halves haha :) What do you all think?

:) Anyway, I have to run and take care of the really fat inbox that has been keeping all your lovely messages for me while I've been travelling :)

Leanne: Bridal (With Vibrant Photography!)

To those that know me, know I love fashion/fashion photography... and I love wedding photography. But I have never believed in mixing the two together as I hold a firm belief that wedding photos should reflect the core things that make a marriage, and the mystery of love so beautiful. It's why I love my wedding photos to look happy, natural, and carry forth a sense of real, raw, down to earth love and joy :)

So, when photographer and friend, Jonathan Dear, threw across the idea of doing a session where we could play with bridal and fashion, for the sake of fun and creativity, I was super excited! :) We shot on an unbelievably cold day, where the winds were so strong they were literally swaying my car left and right as I was driving to the location but I the results made me happy regardless :) There were way too many photos from the session to fit into 1 post, so I'm splitting up the set into two blog entries - yay for you guys, cos it means I'll have to post again tomorrow! :D

For now, enjoy the fruits of what happens when photographers get together for the sake of creativity :) Some shots I've purposely left unsharpened for a more film and organic feel :)

Thank you to Pin Me Up Couture, for the gorgeous hairpiece!!, to Margo from Ethix Makeup for the beautiful beautiful work you did on our girls. Thank you Jonathan for letting me play (i love your beautiful 'light enhancers' hahaha :D)! I can't wait til we do this again! :D And for those reading, do check out his blog for more photos and the rest of his work - its really lovely stuff which you are totally missing out on if you don't click his blog link above!! :D

Meet Leanne :)
































And here is a sneak peek, to part 2 :) It'll be published on this blog space, tomorrow, so check back then!

Hope you are all doing lovely, during this mid week bump! :D

Yvonne and Ash: Engagement

The sun had perched himself in the afternoon sky, gazing over the herds of people that had scattered themselves across the green lawn. Some were laughing, some were running, others were lazily munching on the delectable delights that their mothers had prepared for them. For Yvonne and Ash, they were amongst the few that were walking hand in hand, letting the caramel rays fall softly on their faces. While it was familiar ground for them, nervous giggles filled the air as they were navigating their way through the sprinkled families and children, on a particularly gorgeous day to have their pictures taken.

Here are my favourites from our 1 hour quickie of a session :) Really looking forward to your wedding in a few months! And thank you so much for letting me just do whatever with your shoot! I know some of the spots I picked made me look like a complete nutcase, but I promise they were worth it :) Don't you think? ;)

And these last three frames were my favourite :)

Michelle and Kah Fei: Engagement

Some of my favourites from our quick 2 hour session with Michelle and Kah Fei :) They were full of fun, laughter, and fabulousness :) Being budding photographers themselves, it's always a little daunting shooting other photographers - I get scared my photos don't live up! Yet at the same time, its an incredible honor to be chosen :) Thank you both! My camera loved you :)

I LOVE LOVE LOVE michelle's hairpiece... it had the right kind of everything :)


















A short burst of light came in from nowhere and I had to play with it :)




Then a quick change of attire and scene :) For those who have been worrying that I'm straying from my style, this is PROOF that its here to stay! :D






We found an old bomb of a car by random chance!


I love this next series of photos. I couldn't decide which processing I liked better, so I did all three! I lean towards the 3rd one though ;)






A bit of cheesy fun to end with :)

FYI

I seriously cannot believe two entire weeks have FLOWN by since my last post.

I knew, when penning down the last entry, it would be the last for awhile before peak season settled its sticky feet into my life. And guess what? I was right! You have no idea how insanely crazy the last couple of weeks have been. I don't exaggerate I promise. Last night, I was sitting with a bunch of fellow photographers, explaining the workload I have in the amount of time laid out, and all the flights in between. It wasn't until I was speaking for a very long time, and STILL not having finished my sentence, I realized that I'm officially crazy. Yup. C.R.A.Z.Y.

You see, I haven't been in a single city, for longer than 3 or 4 days. Some stays have been as short as less than 1!

So, this blog space has been really really neglected. And I'm hearing all your messages via email, FB, and Twitter! I am determined to keep this blog alive while I attempt to bulldoze through this year's peak season in one piece :) So in this spirit, and to keep the blogging gods happy while time isn't on my side, as fruit of a discussion I threw out across my twitter and facebook page, I'll be blogging with minimal writing (or at least try to! haha, I know for those that know me its like asking me not to breathe, but hey... a girl can hope!) and filling the space to just let the images do the talking for me as I'm hopping from place to place :)

While I am doing that, you are more likely to find out where I am, whatever I am up to, see sneak peeks, special photo previews, and other visual goodies, if you follow/add me via the following mediums:

And in the spirit of starting a post with a photo representing new beginnings, here is the first photo I took from my new iPhone today! The view from my balcony, where I was today. Yes, its a phone photo. Not a photo from my 5D SLR :)
