AN ADELAIDE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

Who would have thought in 1991, when Kurt Cobain was writing Nevermind and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers were penning Blood Sugar Sex Magik, that in just 20 short years the planet would be so dependent on something that no one but a few uber-nerds had ever heard of? I’m talking about the internet friends.

There are good parts and bad parts of just about every job, including photography. My recent trip to Borneo had both of them, 18 hours in transit from Adelaide to Tawau was an example of a bad part (although to be fair the flights were pretty painless and I was impressed with budget carrier Air […]

When I left the salubrious Kapalai resort in Borneo last year my thoughts were along the lines of that place was incredible, a truly once in a lifetime experience, little did I know that just four months later I’d be back to shoot a wedding! Kapalai is kind of like a cross between Kevin Costner’s […]

What a lackluster month of blogging!! One post for the whole of December, just when I was getting some momentum and some regular visitors to the site. I blame the silly season, and also the fact I’ve recently moved into a house sans internet which will hopefully be rectified at some stage before 2012. Rest […]

The weather forecast 5 days before the wedding was looking promising. 24 degrees, some clouds, no rain. But as the day approached this optimistic outlook turned sour, and the dreaded R word reared its ugly head. Rain at a wedding is never ideal, but for an outdoor ceremony with no plan B it becomes more […]

We’d all been watching the weather all week.

I found myself in a camera store the other day and stumbled upon a new Canon camera sporting a 35x zoom. Yes, you read that right, a 35x zoom. A general rule with cameras and lenses is that the greater the zoom the poorer the quality, there are certain optical sacrifices that need to be […]

I caught up with a good friend last night who I’d not seen in a while. He asked me how my trip was and I really didn’t know what to say, at first I didn’t know what he was talking about! I soon figured out he was talking about Borneo, you know, that place I […]

It’s been a long time between drinks. Not literally, obviously, I actually enjoyed a couple of frosty lagers just last night watching the NBA season opener between the Miami and Boston (right before tip off my heart was beating like a teenager ringing that girl he likes only to have her intimidating father pick up […]

On the weekend I had the distinct pleasure of shooting the wedding of Alexis and Jeffrey, a lovely Malaysian couple who now call Australia home. I first met them in the lead up to my Borneo trip (Malaysia is one of the three countries that make up Borneo) so they were able to offer some […]
