Spring

Wedding season is about to kick into top gear in Brisbane and I’m getting ready. Even though I’ve lived in Australia for five years, my brain is still on northern hemisphere time when it comes to the seasons. This is supposed to be the time when you rug up and get ready for a long dark winter, not the time when you put on boardies and thongs. But hey, I’m definitely not one to complain. Spring is here and I’m looking forward to a great wedding year with weddings in Brisbane and Queensland, but also others all over Australia, Bali, Europe and hopefully a couple in the US. As I said, you won’t hear me complain about my job – more shake my head in disbelief while I smile and turn towards the sun. I’m ready for whatever comes next. Just bring it on.

the defining moment

As I was taking this shot of Erin and her mother just minutes before they left for the ceremony, I remember thinking how lucky I am. People let me into their lives every weekend, I see so much love and I actually get paid to capture it. I know I go on about this all the time, but I have a pretty fantastic job. My time in ad-land seems so far away at times. No more presenting ad campaigns to people who couldn’t care less, no more meetings with people who resent what I do, no more fake smiles and handshakes.

Instead love and happiness in abundance.

I’m editing weddings like a madman and shooting another one tomorrow. My brain is goo. I promise to blog some more once this weekend is over.

Insomnia

So, I’m still jetlagged from my trip overseas and wake up at the strangest hours. This morning I decided to at least use the fact that I was wide awake at 4 am in the morning, so I got my gear ready and headed out just before sunrise. I’m normally not much for taking photos of purdy skies (I’m lying, who am I kidding), but I felt I had to get out of the house. This is the view from just outside my house this morning. And every morning for that matter.

{tom & brea} ~ album

I thought I’d share an album with you. All my albums are individually designed by me and printed on the highest quality fine art paper on nice thick pages and then hand bound. I highly recommend all my couples to get one, it’s the best way to remember your wedding day. These are just a selection of the spreads in the album.
