Wedding Portraits | Pine Mountain Photographer

February 22nd, 2011

Last year, two lovely clients of Meloo Photography suggested that I shoot their friends  wedding – I promptly advised that “i don’t shoot weddings” .  The beautiful girls persisted  advising me that the wedding wasn’t the run of the mill wedding and that Donna and Shaun like to do things outside the box –  I [...]
 

Last year, two lovely clients of Meloo Photography suggested that I shoot their friends  wedding – I promptly advised that “i don’t shoot weddings” .  The beautiful girls persisted  advising me that the wedding wasn’t the run of the mill wedding and that Donna and Shaun like to do things outside the box –  I said that I would have a chat to Donna and Shaun.  When I first met with Donna, Shaun and their adorable little man Finn.  With the joy and warmth of their relationship I was completely in awe, as they spoke about the special day and their relationship, I knew I had to be a part of their day.   The more we chatted the more it felt like we where long lost friends catching up – that is the magic of Donna and Shaun’s relationship.

Last weekend Donna, Shaun and Finn celebrated their union in front of their family and friends at their family property – below are a few details from the day and some of our favourite images from their Wedding Portrait Session, prior to the ceremony.  The lovely Sara Pearcy joined me on the day -thank you Sara.

Thank you again Donna, Shaun and Finn for allowing us to be part of this journey…

I was hoping to start the New Year back with a post on Monday just gone with an adorable Newborn session I had and a mention of up coming classes that we have.

Come Monday afternoon with the news and footage of Toowoomba and surrounds, calls and emails to family, friends and clients to ensure their safety took front seat.

Tuesday and came, like others in Brisbane we went on with our normal day’s activities, with the rain not letting up, we knew something wasn’t right.  Kids collected from vacation care early, before the roads where closed and the creek beds broke.

Over the next few days we watch with aches in our hearts as Mother Nature, once again reminded us that we are not in control.  The people of Brisbane, QLD and the nation have set upped – so many have lost so much.

Below are few pages and sites that you may find useful with information on donations required, where to registered to help.

http://www.facebook.com/QueenslandPolice

Brisbane City Council

QLD Flood Connections

Brisbane Courier Mail

http://www.rspcaqld.org.au/

Brisbane and surrounds

A few friends and I are also baking for the volunteers, if you have supplies that you would like to donate please let me know, including bottled water.

Point Shoot Play and Meloo Photography will be helping in our own little way with free sessions and images to the families effected directly with the floods as well as 100% of our booking fees being donated to the flood relief – if we would like to help or need assistance – please contact us  on either 0400 750 567 or email: mel@meloophotography.com

Below are a few images that we captured.  QLD stay strong…

Always having a camera with me or in my hand for work, makes me miss shooting for me…

In 2010, I gave myself a goal, I was to embark on a personal project and have completed for Christmas…

I am shooting a property that has fond memories and history  for my family in particular for my father…  I was to start shooting in June , I didn’t get there to early October – the wait was well worth it.

I need to go back and continue shooting, I have yet to confirm what editing style I will use for the entire project, I am enjoying the process of elimination though…I may have the project  completed for Christmas, but i am enjoying the ride.

As I predominately  photograph children, teens and families, to shoot landscape and buildings is taking me completely out of my comfort zone – all I can say is do it…

This is one of may faves so far -the best thing about this project, is it is for -so if no one likes it is ok – it’s not for them…
