It was quite challenging persuading Mario, our model to lay his paws gracefully on the cello, but in the end we got a few good ones.

The concert is on the 7th of August @ Roma St Parklands, Brisbane.

Filtering the internet is not only ludicrous, but also an expensive exercise paif for by you and me.

What is unique to baby and children portraits is their sleep pattern and concentration span. At his age, Ryan is only awake for less than 2 hours at a time, so we split the shooting into 2 sessions. We took the shoot outside for Ryan and Karen to warm up to the camera in the winter morning sun – it was also Ryan’s first time playing in their front garden!  Although he was very excited, the sleepiness still caught up with him and he had to take his morning nap.

While Ryan took his morning nap, we set up the mobile studio inside. We decided to make use of his favourite play mat as the setting.  Once Ryan woke up, his parent quickly joined him on the set and we were able to capture some beautiful moments of their interactions. Ryan is so cute and adorable, loves to smile and is not at all shy with the camera.

Karen and Steven are a really lovely couple and the warm, cosy and friendly environment they’ve created really made this a wonderful experience for us.

Pre-wedding portraits

On the day of the portrait shoot, we chose to take a casual walk through Brisbane CBD on a beautiful sunny Saturday afternoon. First stop was the St Stevens Cathedral, and then we strolled along Eagle St Pier to Customs House.

We captured manygreat shots that day but it was this one that stood out (and was framed for display at the reception):

The wedding day

On the big day, Taiwanese traditions were observed – involving the groom delivering her dress to her on the wedding day (he waits outside while she gets changed into the dress), with a short but sweet tea ceremony and for the groom and bride to thank her parents for raising her.

Andy waits in anticipation while Debbie is dressed.

As Debbie leaves home, she throws a fan out of the car window to, a gesture to say goodbye to her family.

On arrival at Andy’s house (and Debbie’s new home), she is greeted by Andy’s sister carrying mandarins. They proceed to their bedroom where tea is served.

We then all headed to the city for  a simple yet cosy and elegant ceremony.

At the ceremony, Andy was so eager that he went to kiss Debbie without lifting her veil!

The reception

Reception was held at the Sangrila Chinese restaurant in Sunnybank. The venue was decorated with a warm, cosy and relaxed feel.
