I was late to the wedding because…
Finally it’s time to share our underwater bridal shoot!
Our latest in the series… was actually the first that we photographed and it was great to get started with such a tricky shoot. Stephanie our model was the first one to put her hand up to model underwater for us and we’re so happy that she did! She was so great and continued diving underwater until we got the shot – a big thanks to Steph for being so amazing. The dress was purposely designed for our underwater shoot by Rosalynn Winn – you can see more of her gorgeous gowns on her brand new website. Rosalynn took the time to design something special that was inspired by water and designed to flow under the water. I would like to thank the 2 Josh’s that helped out on the day. Thanks to Tahlia for her gorgeous makeup up skills yet again. Thanks to Kat for the gorgeous flowers as always and to Roxane who provided the headpiece.
The story behind this shoot: Our bride is a headstrong bride who is driving herself to her wedding. As she is keeping with tradition and running a little late she decided to touch up her makeup whilst on her way to her ceremony. Unfortunately she was concentrating a little too much on her lip gloss instead of where she was driving, which was when she accidently drove into a lake. She was able to climb out the window and wait for help on the roof but she got sick of waiting and decided to swim for it… hence the gorgeous underwater images.

Another fabulous Couture Bridal Portrait.
I have lots of people to thank for this one. Let me first start by telling you a bit of background to developing the shoot.
I had never heard of vaulting before my makeup artist Rochelle mentioned it to me. One of her neighbours, Lyn, coaches vaulting and even Rochelle’s 8 yr old daughter is training in this sport. It got me thinking though… could we actually have a bride, in a wedding dress doing acrobatics on a horse? I was so surprised when our vaulter, Krystle was willing to give it a go – we were even happier when she said she would try to do as many maneuvers as she could whilst dressed in a wedding gown.
So Krystle is not a bride (she tells me not ready for that just yet) however she is a fabulous athlete. She is currently traveling throughout Europe training and participating in Vaulting competitions. She is the current NSW State Vaulting Champion and has made it through to participate in the World Equestrian Games in Kentucky in October. Krystle, you are truly amazing! Thanks for all you effort on the day.
Lyn coaches the Sydney Vaulting Group, who are based in Oakville and she tells me they cater for all ages and abilities – even grooms! You can find out more on their website
Thanks to Rochelle for the hair and makeup – brilliant job and thanks for all your help assisting on the day You can contact her via email: rochellestylist@hotmail.com
Thanks to Kat from Petals and Leaves for her fabulous flowers – which you will see at the end of the shoot. You can find out more on their website www.petalsandleaves.com.au
I really hope you enjoy this shoot as I think it’s kinda spectacular

I am always interested in hearing interesting ideas for bridal shoots, or even your wedding
If I have ever photographed you and you have a tattoo – you would know that while I love tattoo’s, I especially love to photograph them. I’m having flashbacks to Matt and Mel’s wedding and I remember Mel saying to me “Ok, you better get your tattoo fix” at my request to photograph Matt’s tat’s before the night was out. I only have one tattoo (and that is pretty tragic) but I love the fact that tattoo’s are so different and such a personal reflection of who people are.
Karen, our bride, was actually a bridesmaid at Matt and Mel’s wedding. I had approached Karen to be my model bride before their wedding and when I turned up to Mel’s house on her wedding day there was Karen – times like that you think ‘small world’.
Our 3rd in the “I was late to the wedding series…” was shot at the Wicked Ink Tattoo Studio in Penrith. A big thanks to Karen for dressing up again and trusting us. Thanks to Rosco, our tattoo artist who was fabulous on the day – his work is amazing and he was such fun! I would highly recommend him for your next tat – and in fact, I’m going to get him to do some artwork on Ben. Thanks to Wicked Ink for letting us use the shop. Thanks to Tahlia from Tahlia Wood Mobile Makeup Artist who is contactable on tahlswellie@iprimus.com.au
Enough from me! Enjoy!!!

Continuing with our series of Couture Bridal Portraits, here is our next installment…
Special thanks to Skye and her flowergirl for wanting to try something a little ‘fun’ and of course and thanks to our fabulous makeup artist Rochelle.

Gown: Sottero and Midgley
Balloons: Etsy
Still in keeping with our ‘outrageous’ ideas… what would happen if the balloons the flowergirl was holding actually lifted her up into the sky.
Of course this would never happen… but ‘what if’?
Well this is what we imagine would happen…
