Ashliegh in Wonderland!

I am so excited today to bring you this post! Yesterday, I had the pleasure of hanging out with Ashliegh, Nicole and Lauren on a vintage photoshoot in Wonderland!

Ashliegh is a very talented young lady and very good with all things vintage and making these beautiful hair pieces.

This is one of my favourites! 

One of the things I love most about photography is being able to capture a mood! Some of these photos turned out best when someone cracked a naughty joke (thanks to Nicole)! I love nostalgic moments!

Nicole - The Shocked Bridesmaid!

I absolutely love the look on Nicole's face, I can so see this on a postcard! Look at how pretty the bouquet is! Ash, you are so talented!

The Beautiful Bride choosing her Chocs!

The very clever Ashliegh!

Playing Around...

For this photo I told Lauren to imagine her boyfriend's late... 

I think Nicole looks stunning in this photo

I love Melbourne!

I was sent to Melbourne by my school to the ATOM Awards 2010 this year.

The last time I was in Melbourne was in 2002 or 2003 I think, I had forgotten how beautiful the city is!

The buildings were just so gorgeous!!

I loved how I was able to just walk from one end of town to the other. In fact, I didn't even get to take a tram or a bus. 

My students, Hannah, Gabby & Jasmin (Jas chose to stay in Perth for the year 12 graduation instead) were finalists in the Secondary School Category, and although they didn't clinch the top prize, I am so proud of them! Hannah & Gabby went along with their mummies!

I was astounded by how beautiful the Plaza Ballroom at the Regent was!

Vince who was the MC for the night.

These were the dudes who beat us! :) They were nice enough to say to the girls that they thought our film was way better than theirs!

Sigrid Thornton was such a nice lady and she took time out to talk to the Hannah & Gabby.

Sensory Overload

When I was out and walking I found this coffee shop with the best coffee ever! The little place is called "Sensory Lab" and it's on Little Collins Street. 

On my photo walks...

Best Shanghai Dumplings... yum

Thanks for dropping by, off to plan my next Melbourne trip... ;)

Joel & Nicky visit the Swan Valley!

Today I visited the Swan Valley with Joel and Chungs (who are visiting from Singapore) and Dessie and Nicky!

It was so cute watching Joel play with Nicky! I've always wondered what runs through little kids minds all the time when they interact with each other and with adults...

Here are some of the moments captured...

I really love the expression on their faces... Joel laughing at Nicky and Nicky looks like such a bad boy...

One of my favourites of Nicky today. This photo was what sold him from a, "I don't really want to pose for you" to "Take my photo!" It is amazing what you can do as a photographer once you start to interact with the kids... you can't take a good photo without playing with them and turning it into a game.

This is Joel's moment whilst the adults were taking part in some wine tasting... what is going through his mind I wonder?

"Look up Joel!"

Photos are such an important part of childhood, I always cherish my childhood photos and love flipping through them when I visit my parents in Singapore!

Joel visits Perth!

It was so lovely having one of my best friend from high school, Chungs visit from Singapore with her little one Joel, and her husband, Gerald. It must have been a year since I've seen her and about 2 years since I've seen little Joel.

Chungs is pretty yummy for a mummy of 2! Too bad little Nicole was back in Singapore :(

Anyway, we caught up and I stole a few photos of the family..

Miss you Chungs! How adorable is little Joel! I can't wait to meet little Nicole... and yeah Gerald's pretty cute too! ;)

The Wedding of Lindsay & Michael Anderson...

Some of you might remember Lindsay and Michael from the engagement shoot I did last July. This one was of my favourite shoots ever! I remember the first time I stepped into their little Mabel St. house, I was stunned to find everything vintage, from furnishings, lights, to numerous vintage and retro cameras, typewriters and vacuum cleaners galore. It was heaven for me.

Here are a couple of my favourite shots from the engagement shoot.

For more of these engagment photos, go to the Facebook album "Lindsay & Michael are getting married!"
So here we are at their wedding. Lindsay went with a 1940s look... they thought it was their dream wedding... it was my dream wedding photoshoot!!!

Here's a sneak preview of their beautiful wedding...

Getting ready in true Hollywood Glamour Style...

Skip, skip, two more photos and then we're done! "Gee that Dabelyn sure is bossy!"

Whew... what a day! Love it! Thank you to Lindsay & Michael for allowing me to take photos on your special day!
