Adelaide Wedding

This couple chose to be married at Mount Lofty in the hills of South Australia, They extended an open invitation to all their family and friends and enjoyed a picnic style celebration afterwards.  Later they wound their way to the coast to watch the sunset over the ocean.  A romantic end to a perfect day!

Here are just a few images  -  more to come over the next few days!

Ocean backdrop

This couple made their wedding vows to each other high on the cliffs of Sorrento.  The sky looked suitably dramatic, but the storm held off and the bridal party was able to visit the beach and nearby gardens before their informal cocktail party reception.

Awesome and Original!!

This incredibly creative couple tied the knot with originality and heaps of quirky style when they exchanged vows  amongst friends and family in their garden.  The bride is well known for her enviromentally aware stance within the fashion industry and she created the entire wardrobe for the bridal party. The groom, a talented jewellery designer, hand made the wedding rings and brewed a fabulous variety of cider and ale for each guest to take home. The couple spent mega-hours working on their special day, while also running a succesful business  “Limerance” in Belgrave, caring for their son, and busily hatching yet another little chick for their nest.  They spent time scouring second hand shops for unique pieces to adorn their garden and collected pretty china for the fabulous spread – all made fresh on the day by Nicole from Magpie Cafe in Upwey! I have soooo many fabulous images, there are lots more to come soon,  but I just had to get these first few up on my blog straight away!

Hi from Papua New Guinea!

 

Hi from P.N.G.  This is a new experience for me.  I met with some locals from the Kuman tribe yesterday and we spend the afternoon sitting outside their bark house on the ground talking, laughing and eating sugar cane. One of the ladies presented me with a woven bag (billum) which she had made.  I have met some really lovely laid back people. The people here are wonderful gardeners and grow lots of beautiful flowers as well as fruit and veges.  We buy our produce fresh every day from the local ladies, who have just picked it from their gardens!  Have really only been taking snapshots so far – I am on holidays!  The internet connection here is very slow but I will add a couple of snapshots. I will update the gallery next week.

Wooohooo! I just found out that one of my Polaroid images from the Ballarat Biennale has been shortlisted for the Festival de la Luz (Festival of Light) in Paris. There are sixteen shortlisted photographers and the winner gets a trip to Paris for the festival. Fingers crossed!

September 7th   Okay, so I didn’t win the trip to Paris – but I am off to Papua New Guinea in a few weeks, kind of the same but different?

VINTAGE PRINTAGE UNVEILED

KEWPIE & FRIENDS

At last the collection is ready to be hung at Ballarat Biennale!  All of the pieces are limited edition prints of images made using the polaroid transfer technique – the process in which the photographer transfers the emulsion of a partially developed image to a receptive surface prior to full development.
Each transfer has  a unique patina arising from the particular spread of chemistry onto the surface. The exhibition will be one of over 70 throughout Ballarat from August 20th to September 18th and will appear at the gorgeous little shop “Blonde Vintage” at 425 Sturt Street Ballarat weekdays 10 – 5.30    Saturday 10 – 3   Closed sundays.

Cadillacs and confetti

This couple warmed up a winters day with two Cadillacs in red and white.  The bride continued the wow factor with a stunning gown in black and white, and the bridesmaids wore full length black. The day went off without a hitch, and the sun even shone for the first time in a week on this relaxed and happy couple!

The Cadillacs were supplied by Caddyman, they were so helpful and friendly – Thanks Shirl!
