Yes, you are reading that right… we’ve grown. And I don’t mean around the waist… we’ve grown in what we are able to offer Brides, Grooms, Families and Couples. We’ve grown and teamed up with a couple of very talented cinematographers and we are now known as “Lovelight Wedding Cinema & Photography”. Please click the logo below to head to the Lovelight Wedding Cinema & Photography site to check out what we can now offer you… We think it’s what you’ve been waiting for.
 ||Back to TopHere are some photos of a most amazing family that I got to shoot a couple of weeks back. I’ve been friends with the Marchands since almost forever so it was a privilege to update their family photos. We managed to get some great photos of Hector, who has so much personality and works the camera so well that he could start his modeling career very young! He is quite simply adorable!
||Back to Topno comments Now first up I’m not taking credit for these incredible invites but for those of you that know me, you may know I have a little obsession/fetish for beautiful typography, thick textured card stock, brown paper wrapping, craft twine and creative presentation… So when I received the invites from a September wedding I just had to photograph them for you to see.
Yep that’s right, textured paper stock and invites printed ONTO wood….. oh yeah oh yeah! A nice ampersand pin holds it all together.
Detail of the wood and paper texture.
So exciting to unwrap the next layer!
Julian and Malia we are so excited to be shooting your day in September… not many more sleeps now! You are two incredibly creative people and your invites reflect that beautifully! ||Back to Topno comments
Well I do have a love of leaves and pretty much anything Autumn so to shoot this family we headed into Hagley Park in the nice golden afternoon light. Now to say this family was fun to photograph would be a severe understatement… they were hilarious. Plenty of dry humour from Daryl and plenty of “aww Dad” moments from the rest of the family. I should probably take some responsibility because I genuinely find Daryl funny so I may have encouraged him along a bit… We started off with some shots looking down at them, with me balancing quite precariously on a ladder above them… then it looked like OSH would shut us down (or I would fall and crush someone) so we changed to a much more sensible shooting position on the ground.
Making the most of the golden backlight we shot this picture which really captures the personalities of this family at their best.
I was missing my ladder (and the sense of danger that it empowered me with) so climbed up again to shoot some of the siblings throwing leaves at me, which is a great idea to come from the person that doesn’t have leaf debris falling back down and potentially blinding them… but these three are brave and we got some fun shots through it and no one was even un-seriously hurt.
And then a more sensible shot that won’t give them flashbacks of the traumatic leaf throwing shots. These three are seriously cool and as I’m a new Dad myself I was looking for tips from Daryl and Lynda about how you get such good looking kids like these…
Turns out genetics may be a large factor so at least my girl Juliet has good looking genes on her mother’s side. We managed to stop Daryl playing around for a few minutes to get some great shots of him and Lynda. Talk about good genetics aye… not even warm vintage post-production treatment can make them look old!
Rounding things off we got some great photos of everyone individually, while the rest of the family looked on poking fun and eliciting some great smiles out of them…and a perfect model pose from Joel (what a legend!)
And just to finish off, here is a pic of the two brothers Sam and Joel just to show you how awesome Sam is at being the big brother.
It was such a fun shoot and great time spent with you all guys! Hopefully I will see you all again soon! ||Back to Topno comments  June 23, 2012 - 7:48 am

Just beautiful Lynda… the kids are growing up so gorgeous! After only talking with Nick and Kim via email I was excited to properly meet them for an engagement photo shoot on a beautiful Autumn afternoon. I love these shoots for two reasons… firstly because it’s a fun way to meet a couple, hear their story and get a bit of insight into their upcoming day and secondly, because it gives me a chance to reassure the couple that I’m NOT some crazy photographer that is going to make their wedding day photos painful! The light was beautiful and with plenty of golden leaves everywhere I knew this would be the sort of warm tone shoot I love. We set the scene with some nice depth of field in the park. For two people that had just met their photographer in the middle of the park, Nick and Kim were super easy to photograph and after we got some shots for a secret part of their wedding day (not showing you those ones, you’ll have to wait!) we carried on to make the most of the magical light.
These two are a wedding photographers dream; they’re easy going, very relaxed and totally in love! I just let them share their own moments and photographed from a distance to get a beautiful series like this one…
Then we shifted spots a little bit as earlier I had spied a tree laden with golden leaves and the sun shining right through it… I knew this would be a winning combo!
We finished off the shoot with these photos as the light faded and fingers were getting numb from the brisk Christchurch air.
Nick and Kim it was fantastic to meet you and you were so natural to photograph! We can’t wait for November to capture your special day! ||Back to Topno comments |
