What better way to celebrate Australia day than by attending the wedding of an Irish Groom and Croatian bride. Perfect weather, family and guests from all over the globe, loads of fun and probably a few sore heads the following day.

Here is the trailer:

Although Sydney would have to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world to be able to shoot weddings, we are fortunate to have so many amazing places nearby.

Last week I was down at Wollongong with it’s fabulous beaches. Last month I was in the Hunter Valley for a wedding that also co-incided with my own wedding anniversary.

I have put together the highlights and I am sure you’ll agree that Fiona and Tim are a great looking couple. It was a fun trip and the guests were still partying well into the night long after I left.

This wedding was shot in Pokolbin, Hunter Valley.

At Encore we provide a number of styles of edit to suit each couple. These can be in long or short form.

Todays post is a long form photo session we did last year around one of the most beautiful locations in the world, Sydney Harbour. It was a glorious day and working with the great people from Candid Pro Photography makes it easy to get great footage.

Shirley & Fedric are also a fantastic couple and kept us busy with 2 Tea cermonies on top of the usual workload. I will load up some footage of the tea ceremonies soon but for now here is photo session.

This past Saturday Sam and I were privileged to be involved in the wedding celebrations of Houn and Viet.

They are such a genuine and fun loving couple. Very relaxed and extremely thoughtful. It was a pleasure working with them.

Another bonus abou this job is that we get to meet many great photographers. Saturday was no exception. It was the first time to work with Wiki and Ilona from FotoExpression .They worked hard all day getting some fantastic shots which were also shown at the reception.

I even included a shot of Wiki in our same day edit below. (See if you can spot him lying down on the job…..)

Well, it’s the busiest time of year so we don’t get too much time for relaxing around here. Just wanted to wish everyone a Great Christmas. We thank you for all your support this year and look forward to some exciting times in 2008 (not least of which is the birth of my 3rd child….nothing beats that!)

The studio will be closed between Xmas and New Year while we get some much needed R&R so we can be back and ready to serve you again in the months ahead.

Have a safe and happy holiday season!

All the best and may all your dreams come true in 2008!
