Thank you for your beautiful faces that gorgeous afternoon, across a random patch of backyard in the hood we both grew up :) 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

or those that don't know yet, Vincy is a resident photographer and PA at Jenny Sun Photography, and the wonderful news is that she is now hitched to her man, Jose! :D I had the pleasure (and scary task!!) of shooting their wedding day portraits on their special day! Unfortunately, it POURED like it was going to be the end of the world (Im not kidding!! It rained ALLLLL DAY)... so their portrait session took place the following day. Thankfully, although a little cloudy, it was dry enough to shoot, and the sun peeped out just long enough for us to take some photos for the newly minted Mr and Mrs! 
 
And, for those wondering, or saw on facebook, there is a story behind the dress and makeup. Because the portraits were pushed to the day after, we were down a makeup artist, so.... erm... I ended up doing vincy's makeup. I don't profess to be a professional...not at all!! I just didn't want to see the bride go makeup-less for her wedding photos :) 
 
And the dress... hahaha..... there is an epic story behind this... while I won't go into the nitty gritty details, let's just say the old dress wasn't quite right... so what eventually happened was that I got the task to design a new dress for vincy - which ended up being so much fun! I think after seeing soooooo many gowns at so many shoots over the last few years, I had an idea of a dress that would suit perfectly for her height, build, shape, and the place she wanted to take photos...the mood was to be soft, romantic, and classic...and you'll what was created in the photos below. Thank you to Pretty In White's designer, Steph for creating what was in my head - your tips and advice was perfect and made the dress all the more better :) Then I borrowed Vincy my own veil (that I wore on my wedding day), and my hairpiece (from the FABULOUS Pinmeup Couture ) for that extra touch of 'glam' I thought would look lovely on our Vincy! :D 
 
I ABSOLUTELY ADORE ADORE ADORE, tulle material in dresses - it really has to be one of the most romantic and soft looking fabrics.... and I've ALWAYS thought that one shouldered dresses were very pretty.... :) 
 
 
 
 
 
Although shot in Sydney, I really felt at points during the session, we were shooting in some European corner :) 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The sun came out for about 30 seconds.... Just enough for the flare shots vincy wanted hehe :) Sorry peeps! But I will never ever ever promise flare shots for any session... its so weather dependent... so if the skies are kind that day, you know I'll definitely shoot it, but if not, I hope you trust me enough to make some pretty piccies regardless? :) xox 
 
 
 
 
 
Hope all of you are having a great week so far!! We have to get back to the crazy busy at JSP now! :) Back soon!

This is just going to be filed under the 'random things about your photographer' kind of post. I've had a number of you over the years notice I've written 'I love to sing' in my profile, and then ask if there is anything out there that I've done. Sadly, most of what I have done has never really been recorded haha (probably a good thing since I'm super shy!!) :P 
 
But in case you were curious, here is something really recent. I was asked by a friend to do something for her wedding. So here it is! I'm an alto (think: Adele's kind of range... ie. low-ish) so finding a song that fit a wedding, a christian ceremony, and in my key was tough!! But It's a song I really love and I hope you check out the original cos the band (Watermark), are wonderful musicians that write gorgeous songs about God :)  
 
Anyway... here is the video. I know you can't really see my face (Probably a good thing!! haha), and sorry it's not the full clip, but It was done by a friend who was a guest :) NOT that it is her fault... haha, she was just sitting at an angle that didn't really allow her to film everything. Apologies in advance for the background noise you will hear. Its 'live' after all :P And lastly, I'm not a pro, so don't go expecting a Whitney from me or anything ;) Although if you are a smart cookie and somehow find the rest of my youtube page (not that there is much there), you'll find a couple of other recordings of other stuff from me :) 
 
xox 
 
 
 
 
 
 
And in case you were curious what my favourite song is to sing. It's probably this one. It's not full of big notes, but the song has depth in its passion. Here's a recording I did (apologies in advance as its not a great quality recording) of it :) 
 

lison + Owen. It was just the two of them, and a very stormy ocean raging behind, that accompanied the day they decided to get married. Away from prying eyes, and in a ceremony on the beach to seal their love in a private moment, Alison and Owen eloped, and then headed on the rocky moody shores for some photos.  
 
I was reminded by their session that getting married is not about the big grand wedding, but about the marriage... it is about the love and more importantly the commitment between two people, and the lives they have chosen to build together for the rest of their days. It was really sweet to see that there are lovers in the world today that choose the road less travelled and really just want to celebrate their love and nothing more.  
 
It was really lovely to see that despite the crazy stormy weather, Alison and Owen just enjoyed one another.
