Happy New Year

Ok, this will be the last post of the year for me. I’m working my ass off to get albums designed, weddings edited and discs sent out, but in a couple of hours I will shut my computer down and relax for the rest of New Years Eve. I think I have deserved it.

Here’s another shot from Tim and Kesh’s wedding the other day. Give me some nice light and a couple in love and suddenly my job is very easy. I will post the rest of their wedding very soon.

Happy New Year!

Gott Nytt År!

Jonas Brothers

Hi,

I’m sorry, Jonas Brothers fans of the world, I’m not one of the bros, sorry to disappoint you. And no, I haven’t shot Kevin’s wedding. I’m just another Jonas. I know you end up here after googling the brothers. I’m soooo sorry.

Have a look around and get back to me if you like what you see. Who knows, when you find your special man, say in 2026, give me a call. I’m pretty good. And hey, I AM a Jonas after all.

Done

It’s getting late in Brisbane. All I can hear is the steady hum of the fan in our bedroom, the rest of the house is quiet. I’ve been going since 4am this morning, but still I can’t sleep. It sometimes happens after I’ve shot a wedding and today I shot the last one of the year down in Sydney. I want to write that I’m mentally tired and need a rest, but the truth is I’m looking forward to the next one in ten days. My first one in 2010. This time in Melbourne. But for now I’m done. No more weddings this year. I hope.

Oh, this is Kesh.

She got married to Tim this morning.

It’s been a pretty amazing day.

I’ve been so lucky

It’s early Monday morning and I’m packing my camera gear again. I can hear the rain hammering down outside and this weather reminds of my childhood Christmases back in Sweden. When people talk about Christmas here, I often mutter, “this isn’t Christmas”. I remember the cold and the snow and spending most of the holidays inside with family.

But it wasn’t really snowing that much when I was a kid.

I grew up in the south of Sweden and the climate there is more like London, it can get cold and most often wet, but snow on Christmas? In the city? I don’t think so.

Anyway.

I know I said I’d start fresh here with more personal content, but somehow Christmas came first, no matter the weather.

I’m packing my gear again. Later today I fly down to Sydney and the last wedding of the year. This could easily evolve into one of my, “I’ve been so lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky” posts, but let’s just say I’m packing my camera gear with a smile on my lips. My stress levels are very low and I’m looking forward to both this wedding and the ones I have booked next year.

I have so much I want to do and I can’t wait to get started.

Come on, 2010.

Bring it on.

Monday

We jumped on our bikes this morning, it was still not too hot and the breeze from the ocean made it a great start to the day. We had nowhere particular in mind, just cruised down the waterfront with our boys on the back of our bikes, the meaning of life never more apparent. I could hear Noah screaming, “Go faster! Faster!” and of course we did. I could hear the pure joy of his laugh as he pounded my back with his small hands. When we came back, both Noah and Joel were fast asleep and I could go back to work.

I’m designing albums like a mad man these days and the only thing that keeps me going is listening to new music.

The last couple of days I’ve been listening to Lady of the Sunshine.

I think you should too.
