Weddings: Andy and Cindy

darrel — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 15:09:54 +0000

After a six month break from shooting weddings (by my new wife’s request), I finally picked up the camera again.

I knew cindy from 5 years back. That was about 2-3 months after I returned from my overseas stint, and started honing my skills in photography. It was also through Cindy’s wide network that I first met my wife. So it was with great enthusiasm that I agreed to shoot her wedding for her.

Here’s a small selection of photos that I randomly picked out.

I liked the light flare in this photo.

I love this shot. I don’t normally take the car decorations at this angle, but the flowers are simply lovely. Coincindentally, thats the same florist that I used for my own wedding.

Ok.. actually thats me pinning the corsage for Andy. My wife picked up my camera and took the shot.

I like Andy’s challenging expression in this shot.

After a long break from shooting, it was great to pick up the camera again. It was even better to be picking it up for a close friend. My Best wishes to Andy and Cindy, and may you have a blissful marriage.

Dear faithful blog readers, a few announcements after a long period of absence.

In case all of you are wondering about my recent shortage of posts, I’ve been rather busy sorting out my personal life. I’ve now legally married *self applause*. My traditional ceremony would be held next year. Hence, the previous blog post on photography blackout dates.

Having been a photographer for numerous years albeit part time, has given me a wonderful insight to the joys of married life. And now, I’m having lots of fun going through my own wedding plans and getting an inside view to the thought processes of couples on their wedding day. Yes, I can now empathise with many of you soon-to-be married couples out there reading my blog in looking for a photographer.

Another announcement. All the slideshows on the blog have been disabled until further notice.

Shane and Eileen are another couple that i shot during my busy month. It was one of the more amusing weddings that I’ve shot for very long.

The morning was marked with the bridesmaids (mostly the brides sisters and cousins) and brothers in school uniforms to gatecrash… well kind off in school uniform.

The evening reception was a service held at Hort Park, followed by dinner with the guests.

I’ve compiled a slideshow of the images to share.

Congratulations Shane and Eileen.

After a busy few weeks, I’m finally free enough to start posting again. I’ve got a few hours before my flight out, so I thought I’d take the time to put something up.

Angela and Gerald are a lovely couple that I met last year. I have the opportunity to be engaged by them to cover their wedding, which was spread over two days. They exchanged their vows and a beautiful church, followed by a dinner reception at the Hyatt the next day.

Coincidentally, Angela also knew Dawn, one of the brides that i shot last year, and they had their dinner at the same place. I met Dawn’s parents at the reception. Friends, same venue, same photographer. Small world.

Here’s the slideshow that I did up for them, covering some of the highlights of the wedding.

Congratulations Gerald & Angela. I’ll get in touch with you again in about 1 1/2 weeks time.
