CHLOE {AND CREATING THE MOOD}

About a month ago I decided to try something a little bit different. Something to challenge myself and to work in a completely different way. A little test, if you will. I always find that they’re a great way to discover a new way of working, a way to see something differently and this was no exception. This shoot came together extremely quickly with the help of my good friend, and makeup artist extraordinaire Natalie Biller.

I’ve been umming and aahing about whether to post these on the blog, they are markedly different from the weddings and lovely couples that I get to shoot, but in the end, while they may look a little different, at the heart of it they showcase who I am just as much as everything else. The create a mood and tell a story. The story in this case isn’t the story of a wedding day, but rather it’s all about a particular moment in time and the feel was inspired by one of my favourite bands, Elbow and their song Mirrorball.

“You make the moon a mirrorball,
The streets an empty stage.
The city’s sirens, violins,
Everything has changed.”

For my film geek friends this was all shot on Polaroid 600SE with Fujifilm FP-100C

Michelle & David // Ballast Park Portraits

Mish & David’s wedding is a little bit on the epic side. And by a little, I mean ridiculously epic in the best possible way. As a preview of the awesomeness that is to come is Mish & David’s day after portaits.

I remember meeting Mish and David for the first time and they actually are as adorable together as they are in these photos. Their wedding was one filled with so much laughter and dancing. I was surprised by Mish’s ability to walk in sky-high heels and then still the height difference between them even with said heels.

I know that Mish & David will live very happily ever, I’m sure of it.

Fresh Wednesday

My days of Spring Cleaning usually happen in Winter, though Winter Cleaning just doesn’t have the same ring to it. But the cool winter breeze and the rain always seem to bring a freshness and clarity to me, and with that I felt like I Love Wednesdays needed a Winter theme, something to reflect and embrace the mood of the season and without further ado…

Please feel free to look around, there’s a portfolio site as well and a new menu and bits and pieces, I’d absolutely love to know what you all think. We’ve been working some long hours to get everything ready and I’m so excited  to share it with you all.

And since every post needs an image, here’s a preview of an upcoming wedding post.
