It is always so exciting when we have a couple about to get married visit our Studio. I  make them a very special Ethica  Coffee and we sit down and have a chat. I love to know how they have met, their plans for the future and very importantly how the intend on celebrating their love for each other on their wedding day. Modern, traditional or totally different we are thrilled to listen to your ideas.

Everyone is unique and it is vital that we capture the essence of the couple on their wedding day. We pay attention to the tiniest detail, buttons on dresses, stolen glances between the couple and the all important shots. We all know how fast a wedding day flies past and our couples love to relive their day over and over again through the beautiful images Brent captures.

We Recently photographed a beautiful wedding for a couple, very simple, unique and heartfelt. Their wedding reflected their style perfectly and Bent managed to capture their love, perfectly.

We wish Justin & Dena all the happiness in the future and we look forward to photographing their happy events in the future.

Remember the beautiful image of Renee… the stunning bride, that Brent was considering entering into the AIPP awards last week ? Well Renee & Darren have contacted us with some exciting news.

Darren and Renee, are monthly finalists in Bride to Be magazine’s ‘Bride of the Year’ competition, where they have named Capture Imaging as one of our favourite suppliers.

We are thrilled for them and naturally we have voted for them here at the Studio as our favourite couple. We enjoyed browsing all the other beautiful brides & grooms and their wedding photos too but I think we are a little bias here at Capture Imaging with good reason too. So feel free to vote and comments are always welcome. We wish them the best of luck and we will keep you all posted.

A comment from our couple,

Last weekend the Nelson Bay Hash House Harriers (running group) had a weekend away at Riverwood Downs, between Dungog and Gloucester. We arrived on Saturday afternoon (had a few shoots in the morning) just in time for the main run. Luckily someone had to make sure the fire was OK and watch all the kids….ME. Only 1 injured kid after an hour – no one will ask me again;)

Took some timelapse images and made this movie. I also had a chance to try out my new slider, last two scenes in the movie. Make sure you watch it in high definition…..worth it.

Great weekend away with some crazy people. I did get a few rural/farm landscapes too on the Sunday morning, before the mist dissipated. Check out the images below.

Enjoy. Brent

Sunday was ANZAC day, and I managed to get up really early and experience the dawn service in Nelson Bay. It was totally dark but I managed to get a few images here and there, and the rain held off for about an hour. What an emotional event, can’t image what the diggers went through. I did manage to get some landscape images after sunset at Birubi rocks, while everyone else was playing two-up and celebrating. Long shutter speeds ….5 minutes (see the southern cross).

Below is a little history about ANZAC day from Wikipedia. Enjoy, Brent.

Anzac Day is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand, and is commemorated by both countries on 25 April every year to honour members of theAustralian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who fought at Gallipoli in Turkey during World War I. It now more broadly commemorates all those who died and served in military operations for their countries.

Anzac Day marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War.^[1] The acronym ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, whose soldiers were known as Anzacs. Anzac Day remains one of the most important national occasions of both Australia and New Zealand.^[2] This is a rare instance of two sovereign countries not only sharing the same remembrance day, but making reference to both countries in its name.

We have been shooting Allegria Dance Co. now for about 4 years. This is so much fun for us, and every year the girls from Allegria come up with some amazing costumes and themes.

This year the theme was CINEMATIC and there were 3 images we needed for the posters and advertising for the end of year concert.

I decided to try something new, combine my still photography with some high definition video. Since I purchased my new canon 5d mark 2 camera I have been experimenting with hd video.

Attached are the poster images, plus a short movie called CINEMATIC

Enjoy.
