Instant Photography, Live Photography for Events & Weddings by LiveStudios

It’s been a hectic few weeks and haven’t been able to update the blogs with our shooting and traveling schedules. Just came back from LA/Las Vegas and didn’t have a chance to spend a night in Singapore before having to fly to Sydney for a wedding. Tiring, but the trip was well worth it. I had such a great time shooting Andrea & David that I didn’t feel the fatigue or hunger till the day after.

The hotel we were staying in is the Sebel @ Pier One, just under the Sydney Harbour Bridge. You couldn’t ask for a better location. Sydney is also one of the more picturesque cities for photography and not too far away from Singapore.

Being at the pier, they decided to do the makeup just outside their suite right at the pier, you could see the reflections of pier 2 in the sliding door.

The whole atmosphere was full of laughter right from the start. Just for the preparation alone, I took almost 900 shots… I usually have time to filter and remove the duplicate shots but everyone was so energised that I couldn’t stop shooting.

One of the nephews of the couple, Matthew was looking at the bride doing the makeup through the glass, I went up and captured him smiling.

The groom surprised the bride with 2 rolls royce to fetch her to the chinese gardens.

The convertible gave us some fun photoshoot opportunities.

The bridal party had lots of fun participating in the shoot as well.

We got a shot over looking the Harbour bridge.

And went around ‘the rocks’ going wild!

Having a wedding in Sydney is really fun as everyone goes up to congratulate the couple and doesn’t mind making up the shot as well.

The convertible had the license plate “I DO” and the stretch limousine had the plate “I DO 2″.

The car plates are really appropriate and personalised for weddings. There were lots of passers by shouting “I do too / I do three” as we drove by.

This was just across their hotel at Pier 2.

Andrea was really natural in these photos, being just their comfortable selves which makes photography so much easier and fun.

David’s dad, Ossie was really charismatic and kept a wonderful smile on the whole day.

I saw a cruise boat approaching the bridge, then I saw the low clouds which were nicely illuminated by the lights from the bridge and quickly ran out to get this just in time. Thanks to the new camera (Nikon D3), I could capture this shot without tripod and very quickly, with the other cameras it would have been extremely hard to get a good shot.

Congrats again to Andrea and David for being such a nice couple to be with and it’s my honour to be there for their wedding. And they couldn’t have chosen a better place than Sydney for a Wedding. It was beautiful and I absolutely enjoyed it.

I’ve uploaded more photos onto facebook. Enjoy
