my little sisters wedding

So the weekend just past i had probably one of the biggest wedding shoots to date, my little sisters wedding. Kate & James were married at Terrara house also known as The Verandahs which is just outside of Nowra in NSW, Australia. It is an awesome setting, beautiful old heritage house with immaculate gardens and great facilities like a bridal prep area and 2 lots rooms to sleep at least 5 in each with kitchens and all you would expect in great accommodation and they will even arrange a baby sitter for you if need be. Here is a selection of a few of my favorite images from the day.

Here is the link to the venues website www.terrarahouseestate.com.au

Do your home work when looking for a photographer

Your wedding is the second biggest day of your life, second only to the day you were born. Please people, do some home work. Dont let this happen to you. Hire an experienced, trained professional who uses professional equipment and dont forget, you get what you pay for..

My buddies wedding in the Yarra Valley, Victoria

Last weekend I shot video at a friends wedding in Victoria. I took my Canon 5DMK2 of course and managed to shoot some stills for them too. Here are a few of the images I shot.

Another online find

This time from my stock library collection on istockphoto.com. The shot was from a helicopter looking along the beach of South Stradbroke island in Queensland, Australia with the Gold Coast in the distance. It is on a surfing website, which is kind of nice as I do surf myself as much as I can when I am not photographing weddings.

Amazing what you can find online

So Google yourself and see what results you get. I shot this 3 or 4 years back for O'brien water sports. i never got paid by The Toronto Star Newspaper ( Sunny, the wakeboarder in the picture is originally from Toronto ) for this which annoyed me, but, at least they gave me a photo credit which is how I found this on line...

Canon 5DMK2 vid clip

So world, as promised here is the Tag Hueur watch video clips shot with the 5d mk2, hope you like.. dont forget to drop by my site www.sydweddingphotographer.com.au

The 5d mk2 by the way is the camera i use to shoot weddings too, awesome product Canon !!












If you cant see the whole screen on the video clip, click on it to view on youtube.com

So, I shoot video also

And I have done for a long time and probably will for a long time from now. The 5d mk2 HD shooting business is great, i am almost at the stage where I dont have to own video cameras at all any more. Red with the release of the scarlet was meant to be the company that saved me from having to travel with four cameras in my bags when heading to the US, which I usually do every Australian Winter. But it was Canon, which by the way has been my camera of choice ( EOS ) ever since I first started, well the first cameras I bought anyways, the first camera I had was my dads Minolta, which I destroyed, sorry dad.

Rigging up my EOS HD shooting cameras has been a bit of a pricey mission but now they, I say they because I have either a 5dmk2 or 7d to shoot with, but images are truly amazing that come out of the cameras. Here is a still images of some macro video I shot of my Tag Hueur watch, I will get the vid clip up on youtube and post the link soon. The gear used was a Kessler pocket dolly, 2 x manfrotto heads, a satchler light and a LED mag light some super clamps a Canon 5D MK2 with a Canon 24-105 lens with an extender tube.
