I am now a three times and a bit local of Alice, YIPPEE. I have seen this event 10 times now in the last 4 years.

Early this afternoon at about 2 pm, I checked out Wiggly’s Waterhole and met my friend Ref. John Boundy there.
Like me, a photography fanatic! Crazy enough to stand there in the soaking wet rain risking our cameras.
Though my 5D MKII and L lenses are all weather sealed thank god. Pooring down, seriously wet. Slippery rocks on my thongs.

He showed me how to 4WD through puddles. Lol.  Took this for stock photography
Now it was really really raining hard! I got soaked wet to my skin.
Camera still ok.

Alice Springs Todd River coming in

The wedding of the month is Warwick Thornton and Beck Cole 1 January 2010 / 01012010 (What a WICKED DATE!)

This couple got married at the Nature Theatre at the Alice Springs Desert Park.
The reception was at the Pioneer Park.

Thanks Warwick, Beck, kids, and their family, for the lovely wedding shoot you guys were great!
 

Warwick is the director of the movie Samson and Delilah  that has won several awards at the Cannes (France) film festival and the Adelaide film festival.
I have seen the movie and was fairly touched by it I must say, definitely worth watching.

When Walking the dogs we saw these amazing clouds coming over. We rushed home
and I got back just in time to record this time lapse shoot.

With their adorable children they just are the prefect family. Pretty and happy smiles everywhere.
In fact looking at these photos I can still hear Florence laugh. What an inspiring lady!

So, finally finished those photos of the AUQF conference 2009 (Australian University Quality Forum)
Dinner at Ooraminna.

My photos are Digi watermarked.  Using these photos without my permission is a serious offence and action will be taken.

I regularly fly to Ayers Rock to shoot weddings. I must admit
photographing weddings for me is best kind of photography there is.
Especially if I get to fly to an unique and special spot like the very heart of Australia, Uluru Kata Tjuta National Park.
Staying in a 5 star resort hotel and shoot at the best spot in the world.
I DO SO LOVE MY JOB!
The rock keeps amazing me.

Have to start with this one:

Last Saturday I had a wedding shoot of the lovely couple Ashti and Damien.

I had not met Ashti in person before, so I was extra excited!
I was booked for one hour (but as always I arrived earlier and stay longer on my shout   to get some extra ones. (Can’t help myself can I? )

The wedding shoot (formals) were planned for 4.45 – 5.45pm. I arrived 4.30 and lucky me, I got to see The Kiss.
So romantic! I love my job so incredibly much!
I saw Ashti wearing a short chocolate coloured designer dress. A bit different looking to the traditional white dresses.
But when I saw Ashti I immediately thought: Yep that suits her, young and perky. Happy and light.
She was looking most gorgeous. Damien was wearing a similar coloured matching suit.
What a totally handsome and gorgeous looking couple this was.

A little girl (7 ish  years old?) popped up in a red dress with a bright white parasol in her hands. How adorable! So cute, front teeth gone, so she must be about 7-8 I reckon.
And another one! about 3 years old. This must be their little girl.
Snap snap snap… whilst family was snapping away on them signing the register I took the two flower girls and took some photos of them.
A little 3 months old baby boy showed up, a little version of Damien! how cute.  He was wearing a little suit and looked just like his dad but than in a smaller version.
Snap snap snap… Ofcourse. Babies are so cute.
Back to the table to get one or two register signing shots. (Ashti knew I would show up earlier ).

Their family and friends were dying to hugh them.
Family and friends are very important and they can’t wait to share a photograph with eachother. So we let them snap away for about 15 mins. And having drinks.

Now it was my turn. We spent about 60 minutes on a very successful photoshoot.
Grandma was there and I took this opportunity to take a 4 generations shot.
How incredibly gorgeous are these two looking. Young and at the beginning of their lives together with a lovely family already built up.

I can not wait until my photos are developed so I can show them off to them two. This process (along with my other photoshoots) will take approx one week, two weeks.
It’s a smallish – meduim sized shoot so I have planned in one week for it.

Keep you updated.

Love,

Joyce
