Pre-wedding – Rebecca and Matthew

Rebecca and Matthew were a very interesting couple to work with.

The shoot was instigated by myself, primarily because I had some ideas that I wanted to put to the test. So I put out a feeler for couples willing to sit in for a shoot, and Rebecca and Matthew ended up working with us.

We shot at the Middle Brighton Beach, as well as in the Melbourne CBD. These guys were real champions throughout (even after we both got parking tickets at the beach;)). We tried several different things, we shot with a few different outfits, and all throughout the 3-4 hour shoot they were willing to try anything I asked of them.

What a day!

Pre-wedding – Alven and Vitri

Alven and Vitri, both from Indonesia, have had a long, loooong relationship.

Eventually, they decided to tie the knot.

As per an increasingly popular trend, they wanted to do a pre-wedding shoot overseas, as this is material that will be shown at their actual wedding reception. To that end, over 2 days we went to various locations in the Melbourne CBD, and tried many different things. The most interesting part was our time in the Crown Casino, where we weren’t sure if we would be asked to leave, as we’d pretty much had a full studio shoot going.

In the end, another fantastic result.
