Tracy + Chris | Display Wedding Album!

Posted in Wedding Album, Weddings

We’re so excited to be able to share our very latest Queensberry display wedding album that only arrived the other day! Remember the wedding of Tracy + Chris? We loved their wedding so much we decided to make a display album of it!

Queensberry are the best album makers in the world and their handcrafted albums are without comparison!

We chose to create a Duo Album because it combines the best elements of a traditional matted album and a contemporary flushmount album, allowing maximum flexibility in the design while retaining a modern yet classic and timeless feel to the album.

Future brides, why not make an appointment with us to see this album in the flesh? Contact us now to book your appointment!

We also got a digital copy of the album made up. It is a gorgeous little 7″ album that make perfect parent albums!

Autumn Colours | Bridal Collab Shoot

Posted in Bridal, Fashion

We packed the camera gear and loaded up the car one chilly Autumn morning with our good friend Jenny Sun of Jenny Sun Photography and headed for the gorgeous English gardens of Mt Wilson in the Blue Mountains.

We had planned a day of fun doing a collaborative shoot with the help of some very talented friends. We were looking forward to taking advantage of the gorgeous autumn colours and hues, the delectable warm sunshine and the cool crisp mountain air. The day certainly delivered and we had such a blast feeding off each others creativity and talent.

A HUGE thank you to everyone involved who brought everything together! Thank you for all your hard work, efforts and amazing talent! We can’t wait to work with you all and do this again soon! :)

Models: Meg and Emma

Flowers: Cannisia Florist

Gabby + Renee | Daughter + Mum

Posted in Family, Portraits

With Mother’s Day only a few sleeps away we wanted to share this session we shot the other week. Renee’s daughter Gabby is wanting to get started in some modelling so we arranged to do some portfolio shots for her.

But while we took photos of Gabby, we took the opportunity to take some of Renee and Gabby together. It was so wonderful to see the special moments between mother and daughter giggling in the long grass and just generally enjoying each others’ company. Capturing childhood moments like this are literally priceless…especially before the teenage years come along!

We’ll post some shots of Gabby separately in the near future, but in the meantime here’s a few shots of mum + daughter together. For all you mums out there, have a very happy mother’s day. Thank you for all your selfless and tireless hardwork, love and dedication to all around. We hope your family pampers you and spoils you rotten… cos we all know you deserve it!

By the way, for those of you who’ve left buying Mum a gift to the last minute, why not get her a gift voucher for a photo shoot done by us? What better way to show mum your love and appreciation for her than to give her a portrait session with family and loved ones that she can treasure and cherish for many many years to come! For more details contact us at info@eclektic.com.au

Just love the connection between them!!!

The sun came out of the clouds to play and gifted us with this gorgeous scene!! Its like out of a movie don’t you think!!

Renee + Gabby, thanks so much for such a fun afternoon of laughs and giggles!! Hope you managed to survive the mob of screaming tweens at Bieber Fever!!! Kudos to you for the dedication to wake up at 5am to drive Gabby to see Justin Bieber!

Joyce + Terry | Married!

Posted in Weddings

A beautiful Autumn day by the harbour in the perfectly manicured surrounds of the Royal Botanic Gardens was the backdrop for Joyce and Terry’s wedding. Even though the forecast was for showers and a possible storm, the rains stayed away for the ceremony and we were blessed instead with cloud cover that gave us fabulous diffused light!

The day started with Joyce getting ready at the historic Stamford Hotel. We love it when brides get ready in hotels, the rooms are always spacious and the windows let in such beautiful light! Joyce looked absolutely radiant being pampered and waited on by her seven bridesmaids!

Don’t her flowers look stunning?

The rose garden was just a picture with the harpist and flowergirls playing with bubbles while waiting for the ceremony to start.

With 8 dashing guys…

and 8 gorgeous ladies….. it was the biggest bridal party we’ve ever photographed!

After the ceremony off for a stroll through the gardens

We had some gorgeous light that afternoon!

After playing and enjoying the gorgeous sun the heavens finally opened up!!

I love this next shot as all the girls scurried off to find cover using their bouquets as umbrellas!!

With the rain falling, we ended the day with one last gorgeous shot by these fantastic willows. Joyce + Terry, thank you both for such a fabulous day. God bless you both as you begin your new lives together!  :)
