* normally I’d be a little hesitant to post photos of my client’s number plates, but unfortunately Paolo’s beloved Falcon got written off just after they returned from their honeymoon – yet another reason why your photographer should be someone who shoots weddings regularly and would know to take photos of all the details of your day, imagine if I’d missed the car!

*Model is the very sexy Ami Starre, this was shot a few months ago and I’d completely forgotten about this part of the shoot!

*well I was wearing heels for a start…!

Em and Michael were married at Wesley Uniting Church on Fullarton Road, Kent Town, after which we headed to the one and only Glen Ewin Estate, Houghton, for photographs before their reception in the Pulpshed (stunning)! It was a pretty warm day and there were air conditioning problems in the cars (the girls’ cars didn’t have any and the boys’ stopped working), add to that the fact that the wedding at the church beforehand was running 55 minutes late* and it could have been a pretty stressful day, but none of this mattered to Em & Michael, all they cared about was that at the end of the day they were husband & wife. Congratulations Em & Michael, it was a pleasure to capture your wedding day for you, thank you so much for choosing me, here are a few of my favourites for you to enjoy!

* seriously, the bride was 55 minutes late, not cool when the church only allows an hour and a half per wedding, yes, your day is about you, but not THAT much about you, poor guests in a church with no air con too!

Truth be told, I actually couldn’t post more of these images at the time as Sam from Orbe was entering them in a KMS comp, but that’s all over now, so here are my versions of some of my favourite shots from our shoot at my Kent Town studio*. Make-up by the incredibly talented Dan at Orbe and the gorgeous model is Erin from Pride who was happy for Sam to dye her amazing hair a more vibrant red than it already was. We had a few different looks to achieve in this shoot and aimed to get a completely different feel for each style, goes to show how versatile good make up can be, don’t you think?

I have a few more hair/beauty shoots which I can’t wait to share with you over the coming weeks. I just love shooting fashion/hair/beauty, it’s always such a colaborative experience, I feel it makes the world a better place!

And this is what happens when you forget to move the ladder out the way of the studio head……!

*which I’ve now moved out of and am missing very much, but can’t wait to move on to better things and places!

Congratulations Jude & Robb, it was wonderful to be at your wedding, to catch up with old friends and to steal you away when the light was just right!

*Helen from Mojo Studio was the official photographer for the day, we met a few months ago when I was a bridesmaid for another of my good friends, so it was good to see her again. I just couldn’t resist in the late afternoon sun, and she was gone by then…..

*Of course, the day I’m shooting for my hairdresser my hair drier overheats and frazzles my hair, how embarrassing!

These were taken at a shoot yesterday for Mylk Bottle (check out their Autumn stock in store now). Needless to say, Alys from Finesse Models is AMAZING*, she was also very worn out when we finished with this outfit! Below are a few more of my favourite shots from the shoot with a little play on colour for your Tuesday morning :

And some of the shots as you will see them on Mylk Bottle’s Facebook page & website.

*hair & make-up by the very talented Alys, beautiful clothes from Mylk Bottle, shot at Haute’s studio in Kent Town using one studio head.

So in the course of a day and a half I organised a model, hair, make-up, dress, shoes, a last minute assistant* and got it shot. I was really sick with a cold that day and not very inspiring but I definitely got the shot I was after and then got a few more (though in my head we were shooting in full sun, cruel I know, but it didn’t end up happening anyway).

I haven’t picked up a copy of Attitude yet, but the photo on the right is in there somewhere as a full page ad :

In my head, the whole shoot was to be b&w but when I saw what Daniel was doing with make-up I had to shoot some for colour :

And some out-takes just for kicks :

*my good friend Andrea Laube helped out on this one, she also ate all of my Eclairs ;o)

model [Alice Hayward, Finesse] : dress [Alexis George] : shoes [Wittner, Rundle Mall] : hair & make-up [Orbe] : a big thank you to you all!
