Recently we were given the opportunity to shoot Jasmine and Sok’s wedding.  It was a great summers day and we arrived quite early to capture the morning preparations..  From the onset we could tell that this was going to be a fun day as both the bridal party and the groomsmen were in a festive mood!  I guess it is fitting as it was our first wedding for this year and why not start one off with a bang!

We started the day visiting Sok and his groomsmen Rithy, Kosal, Judah and Phalla at their apartment in the docklands, where they had an awesome view. After they quickly dressed we took some photos around the hotel.  The boys giving me their best boy band impressions.

The girls in the meantime were getting ready in the same building on a lower level. (Guess it truly was the last time Sok had the upper hand)  Jasmine and her bridesmaids, Rosie, Prilly, Trinh and Emmy were in the midst of getting their hair and make up done by Dannii when we arrived for photos.

The colour of the day definitely was teal as both the bridesmaids wore teal dresses and the groomsmen wore teal handkerchiefs.  There was even teal balloons!

Once everyone was ready.. we made our way to Peninsula C where the wedding ceremony was held.  It was an intimate ceremony with just family and friends, little did we know the big party that was going to be in store later on in the evening.  Once the ceremony was done, we all went outside where everyone was given a balloon and they were released into the sky to signify start of their new lives.

STOP….  HUMMER TIME!!

We all boarded the stretch hummer and travelled around town to take photos with the bridal party before making our way back to the reception where the Bride and Groom danced the night away with friends and family!

It was a great wedding and we at Moving Pixels would like to thank both Jasmine and Sok for allowing us to participate in their wonderful day.

November is always the start of wedding season for me.  Summer, heat and weddings!  Matthew and Kaori’s wedding started off this wedding season and what a wedding it was!

To start with.. the car used to drive them around all day was actually the car that drove The Beatles when they were in Melbourne in 1964!

We got to both Bride and Grooms houses relatively early as they got ready.  On the brides side.. Kaori’s nephew was constantly running in and out giving his personal stamp of approval as well as jumping all over our photographer Jason.

We then hopped into our car and made our way to the grooms side where Matthew and his three groomsmen were ‘suiting” up for Matthew’s big day.  With a little last minute flower adjustments from mum.. the groom was ready to go and get married…

The actual wedding ceremony was a short walk from the groom’s house at St. Scholastica’s Parish where the couple exchanged their vows and became husband and wife!

Once the ceremonials were taken care of.. it was time for family and friends to make their way to Wattle Park Chalet to dance the night away!

It was a lovely reception and the perfect place for Matthew and Kaori to celebrate their love with friends and family.  Guests were greeted on the lawn with drinks and canapés before making their way to the dining hall where they had dinner and laughs all round.

We would like to congratulate the newly wed couple and wish them both a long life together filled with love and happiness.  Thanks for letting us at Moving Pixels capture your wonderful wedding!

All you need is Love.  Thats what the Beatles said..  Matthew and Kaori’s wedding proved it.

What an amazing afternoon, another fun pre-wedding photography session. Jen ,the bride to be, wanted to take photos in a field: tall grass, breath taking scenery so I thought why not try a Canola farm. Our team scoured for the right location and found the perfect place, which was located only 50 mins from Melbourne.

It was one of those typical Melbourne weeks where the weather was sporatic and unpredictable but that did not stop us. Below are some highlights of the day. I hope that you enjoy the photos. Once again, congratulations to you both. Moving pixels wishes you both a wonderful life together filled with only fun and laughter!

I was thrilled when Tanto and Shervia contacted Moving Pixels to have a pre-wedding shoot in Melbourne. The couple flew from Indonesia and I did not want to dissapoint. The problem with photographing iconic landmarks is that I am competing with thousand of postcard images and millions of vacation snapshots . My challenge was to photograph recognizable landmarks and offer a different perspective.  Tanto and Shervia had a wish list of locations that they wanted to have pictures of and we did our best to get them all.  In particular they really wanted the Brighton Bathing Boxes.   We made our way down there in the afternoon and although it was a little chilly, we were able to take quite interesting photos!

We then made our way to the Victoria Barracks for some more pictures before finishing our day at Parliament House!  I hope you guys enjoy your pics.. It was a pleasure taking them for you both!

This year Moving Pixels had a competition in conjunction with The knot.com.au.  The winners won a free photoshoot with us.  Elaine and Leo were one of our lucky winners.

We shot the lovely couple at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Melbourne recently on a Sunday afternoon.  We decided to go with an apple theme… because we liked the idea of apples being a symbol of love.  The “apple” of ones eye if you will…

The shoot was great fun and we had a lovely time shooting with both Elaine and Leo.  Its easy to see why they are in love with one another.  At one stage while shooting, a swan decided that she was not to be upstaged by the lovely couple and decided to crash the photoshoot.  The lovely couple also took the opportunity with this shoot to take photos for their thank you cards.

Moving Pixels wishes the lovely couple all the best for the future and congratulations on their up and coming nuptials.  We are sure it will be a celebration filled with memories to last a lifetime!

Recently we were invited to shoot Sandra and Antons wedding in Melbourne.

A beautiful, small private wedding that was both stylish and sophisticated. We were approached to photograph Sandra and Anton’s wedding in a simple and private ceremony with only family and close friends present. It was a wonderful experience, it was such an intimate affair and we feel very privileged to have been apart of it.  

 On the special day, there was clouds and rain on the horizon but nothing could dampen our spirits as we made our way down to Royal Botanical Gardens for the wedding ceremony. Anton and Sandra exchanged their own written vows in front of family and friends. The bride wore a stunning, figure hugging gown and opted for a short veil. Anton looked quite dapper in his tux.  Both the bride and grooms parents traveled great distances to be there on the couples special day, making it such a memorable occasion. Following the ceremony, everyone made their way to the Hotel Sofitel where guests watched the newly married couple “Cross the threshold” for the first time as husband and wife.

After a quick breather it was off to The Willows in St.Kilda for dinner and to celebrate the night away!

We at Moving Pixels would like to thank Sandra and Anton for allowing us to capture their wonderful day and wish them nothing but happiness in the future!

Just a little sneak peak from a shoot I did this week with Tanto and Vivi whom flew all the way from Indonesia to do this shoot with me around Melbourne!

Recently we were lucky enough to shoot a wedding at the wonderful Carousel reception in Albert Park, Victoria Australia.

The bride and groom Marc and Sally, prepared in the early afternoon and then made their way to St Johns Anglican Church in Toorak.  It was an intimate affair as both exchanged their vows in front of family and friends in the packed church.

Then it was off to the reception, decorated with butterflies and flowers to dance the night away!

We would like to thank Marc and Sally for letting us capture their wonderful day and wish them all the best for the future!!

It’s been a fun year!

What can I say.. I love my job.  It has allowed me to travel, celebrate with couples their special day of days and most importantly.. it allows me to express my creativity on a full time basis.

After winning a silver at the 2012 AIPP Epson VIC Professional Photography Award, I decided to enter the national awards.

After the judging over the past weekend… Our two entries won silver!

We won for this photo in the Wedding Open category:

Elevator Love

We also won in the Illustrative Category:

Underwater Dreaming

Not bad for my first attempt.  I can only try harder and go for gold next year!

We were extremely excited when Savita and Greg contacted us to photograph their traditional Hindu wedding. The Wedding translated beautifully on camera due to its bright and vibrant colours. It was a spectacular event filled with cultural traditions entwined with rhythmic music and energetic dances .(Especially by the kids) It was a spectacular day carefully choreographed from beginning to end.

The great thing about photography is the ability to meet different people and being exposed to different cultures. We were informed that the Mehndi ceremony is one of the most important pre-wedding rituals especially for the bride. The ceremony was held at the bride’s house three days before the marriage. The henna artist applied intricate designs onto her hands and feet. Within the mehndi pattern, the name of the groom was applied.  (Apparently if the groom can’t find his name the bride gets a gift!)

On the Wedding day, we accompanied the bridal party to ‘My Powder Room’ owned by the talented make up artist/director Adrian Lambard in Toorak (Melbourne). It was such an experience full of glamour and style. But this was outshone by the Jewelry worn by the bride. Jewelry is an indispensable part of any celebration in particular a Wedding.  Savita was adorned with greater than 7 kg of glittering jewels and this was just her head piece! The groom joined in the festivities by wearing a Sherwani competed with jutti  (traditional footwear).

The reception and ceremony was held at Morning Star Estate.

Spectacular from beginning to end.
