When Gauri and Amro asked me to photograph their e-session in Newtown, I could barely contain my excitement. Their playful nature and utter inability to last for more than five seconds without cracking up laughing, combined with the energy and vibrant colour and textures of Newtown promised to result in some fantastic images. Here are a few of my favourites from the day.

Note for photographers: Most of these photos made use of off-camera lighting. Taking your flash off camera gives you the ability to add another dimension to your images – you are in control of the light.

I love the energy of this image.

My absolute favourite from the day.

Thanks for a great afternoon guys, I’m looking forward to the laughter and joy at your wedding in September.

Elvyn and Nish are down to earth with a strong sense of family, and maintain a deep love and respect for one another. Our conversations leading up to the wedding as well as during their e-session earlier in the year were less about wedding talk and more about our lives and families. Their wedding day was no different – amidst the flurry of activity around Nish as she was getting dressed and made-up, she still sported a wide, cheeky grin.

Elvyn, as always, presented a calm and collected exterior.

We then met up a block away from Nish’s house where the ceremony was to be held – I think this is the most action Pennant Hills has ever seen!

Nish looked flawless:

Married!

We then drove into the heart of the city for some photos around The Rocks and Sydney Opera House:

Sometimes the natural, spotaneous photos turn out the best. I love the mood of this photo.

Congratulations Elvyn and Nish! Stay tuned for part 2 – the reception.

This was more of a “pre-reception” photo session, as Pooja and Ishu were married in grand style in India earlier in December and came to Sydney to host a reception at Le Montage. Based in London, Pooja met Ishu in India while he was enlisted in the Indian Army. Pooja always has everyone in stitches with her razor sharp wit and self-referential humour. They both never take themselves seriously, love to dance and love each other’s company. Here are some of my favourites from their session, which led us through Sydney’s historic Rocks, Sydney Opera House, Overseas Passenger Terminal and under Sydney Harbour Bridge.

My favourite from the day – I always like to try something a bit different!

Pooja and Ishu – all the very best with your new lives in India.

Some more stunning images from this fairytale Punjabi wedding soon.

Mayank and Nandi wanted some pre-wedding photos done in Sydney city to prepare table settings and invitations for their Indian wedding in December. They are a relaxed and trendy couple and it sounds like their wedding is going to be incredible! Here are some images from their afternoon session.

Every time we meet, Kaveeta, Andrew and I have a blast. They have a relaxed, down-to-earth attitude and really know how to have a good time. Don’t believe me? Check out these e-session photos from Newtown taken by the talented Jacob, who is super excited about covering their Indian wedding for Photos by Jay next month on the one and only Starship Sydney.

K&A are mad for each other!

Kaveeta to me: Have you seen the photos? Just checking as I think i was laughing too much!

Icecream goes in the mouth… not on the face.

Maharani Weddings, an Indian wedding blog that features modern Indian weddings, has featured Rohan and Rennie’s Fiji wedding on their blog in a two part series. Go over there and take a look!. They have lots of ideas for Indian weddings. I’m really impressed with the photographs they feature as they all have a modern, fashion feel to them.

Last week I went with Rohan and Rennie to Cabarita park for some post-wedding images. If you remember Chris and I went to Fiji in February to photograph their Indian wedding. It was a really windy day and I felt sorry for Rennie running around in her heavy saree! But we soldiered on and got some beautiful images in the late afternoon light.

A little teaser from last weekend…
