Engagement/Portrait : Anissa & Georges

Posted in Engagement with tags , , , , , , , , , on October 11, 2009 by TMbyDesign

Yesterday, 6am , i met up with Anissa & Georges for a sunrise photo session at Caves Beach. The sun decided to play peek-a-boo with us  behind a huge cloud but we did succeed in getting beautiful colours and dramatic skies anyway. Take that sun!

A bit about Anissa & Georges: They are sweet and adorable couple from Belgium and i met them at my Latin Dance classes. We’ve become friends from there and they wanted a photo session with me before they head back to Belgium in 3 weeks time.  Georges will be back but i’m not sure if i will get to see Anissa in person again :(   I might have tyo settle for seeing their wedding images later next year when they marry in Belgium…unless…they decide to  bring me over to photograph their wedding hint hint!

Sigh…i am going to miss them.

Anyway here are some of the images from our session..enjoy!

We did some piggy-back.. well they did not me, i just laughed at the fun spectacle they made!

Georges sure looks as if he is enjoying himself here…Anissa.. maybe not quite so much!

Now Caves Beach is not the place to go if you want to collect  sea shells. In fact they are very hard to find on this beach at all..so what do you do when you want to make a creative ring shot? Look around and see what’s usable…..oh look the beach is covered with Blue Bottle stingers.. problem solved!

Add a little seaweed….

Anissa & Georges, our friendship is quite new but i sure will miss you guys.. You’re such a beautiful couple and i hope you had as much fun as i did on the beach. Best wishes for your future and i look forward to seeing your wedding photos….

Wedding: Teresa & Brett

Posted in Weddings with tags , , , , , , , on October 11, 2009 by TMbyDesign

Well this one’s going to be a bigger blog post than usual, featuring the wedding of Teresa & Brett.

All i can say is THESE GUYS WERE FUN!

The wedding took place on September 26th at Rafferty’s Resort, at Cam’s Wharf in Lake Macquarie.

The start of the day was quite worrisome with our second dust storm in the area within 3 days. I spent many hours in the morning prior to the start of photographing Teresa watching the sky, checking weather updates and just hoping all would be well.The ceremony was taking place right on the edge of the lake, and the winds were not being overly kind, but atleast the rain held off!

Teresa & Brett, thankyou for inviting me into your lives to capture your special day. It’s one i’ll always remember with a smile on my face. You are beautiful people to be around.

Here are some of the images captured from the day and it was hard to pick just a few to show. Enjoy!


The beautiful bride, Teresa




Now Brett decided to do something a little bit different for his wedding – he wanted his own bit of limelight with a special arrival at the ceremony…by boat! Yes.. even though the winds were gusting i set off with the guys for a trip across the lake and back to give the boys a special arrival to the cheers of the gathered guests. It was choppy out there but so much fun!

Here are the boys on the boat.. now i know it looks calm here…we were infact being sheltered by Pulbah island for a few photos before heading back into the winds and chop to head to the ceremony.


I love their special little cufflinks!


The view of the guests awaiting , from the boat

and check them out.. the boys grand entrance!








I have to say the weather really was great in the end.. the skies were SO cooperative!
This was so funny… please note NO PELICANS WERE INJURED DURING THE MAKING OF THESE IMAGES!. Really the guys just ran very slowly out towards the pelicans..i mean how fast can a bride run in a wedding dress and heels on a jetty?!
















There was plenty of fun and laughter to be had during our photo session time and i can’t wait for Teresa & Brett to see all the fun in their images.

The whole day was fabulous but the reception was just as wonderful if not better…

Teresa & Brett opted to do a different style of dance rather than a traditional bridal waltz. I wa sso impressed with their routine the came up with themselves- complete with a little Michael Jackson and an awesome hat! Check Brett out!
