James & Amy – E-session

diana — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 05:49:18 +0000

How endearing and sweet these two are. James (aka Jimmy) and Amy of Amy-Kate Photography are so cute and naturally playful, we loved photographing their e-session and catching up for dinner afterwards. We first met Amy, while we were both exhibiting at this year’s Ballina Bridal expo and we thought she was a real sweetheart. Beaming with smiles and only lovely words to say. When we met Jimmy, we thought aaawww, it was obvious how much he loves her. He had an ‘only the best for her’ attitude and was so considerate and supportive of her growing photography business. What can we say – they must be meant to be!

For this shoot, Amy chose a wonderfully unique location and we had some fun experimenting with the new surrounds. Their relaxed interaction and mischievous playfulness was such a joy to capture – it simply lit up their faces with fun and love.

Thanks for being so much fun guys – looking forward to your wonderful wedding day next May! We are both honoured and flattered to be your photographers

Some fun with Mike + Amy Photographers

On Saturday we had some fun doing a shoot for Mike & Amy Photographers from Coffs Harbour. We were excited about the prospect, when they asked us some months ago, and were looking forward to catching up. These two are such a vibrant couple and so full of life and laughter. Despite having a little bit of nerves in the beginning, Amy quickly got over that and enjoyed some cuddles and laughter with Mike in the warm winter sun. We took them to our regular stomping ground at Southern Cross Uni to start the shoot and then followed by the ever popular butterfly walk – and guess what??? We actually saw some butterflies for the first time!

So Mike & Amy you were wondering if we found at least 12 good shots … Thank goodness I was there – Craig only got 2 so I had to contribute 10 Hehehehe …

A funky wall … and such high flying photographers

Oh and don’t worry, we’ve kept a couple up our sleeves for the gallery…hehehe. Thanks for having us do a shoot for you guys and being so much fun. Looking forward to the next shoot down in your neck of the woods.

Shaun & Monique – E-session

We spent last Sunday afternoon hanging with Shaun and Monique out at Flat Rock in Ballina, where Shaun spent much of his surfing days! The winter sun was gorgeous and we had a great time getting to know these two. Such an easy going and wonderful couple! Thanks for being so flexible guys and we are sorry we got you so wet Monique. Your expressions were priceless though. Enjoy some teasers from the afternoon.

High and dry

We saw this fantastic driftwood prop and it looked safe…

…oops! Maybe the tide is still too high (hehe)

Somewhere a bit drier to recover

Now the tide is out lets try the driftwood again

Round #2 – Who would have guessed

We are really looking forward to your wedding in September! I’m sure we can keep it drier – promise

Brent & Bec – A Gorgeous Autumn Wedding

diana — Wed, 26 May 2010 15:15:04 +0000

It is always an honour and so much fun when we are asked to photograph another photographer’s wedding. Brent & Bec of B&B Photographics had a beautiful wedding on Saturday and had such glorious weather too! We have known this pair for over a year now and have enjoyed watching them grow in their business and as a couple. Bec has a personality that you could only describe as ‘effervescent’ – with her sheer excitement about the simplest things and Brent would have to be the ‘cool cat’ – a quiet, observant and a loyal fella, that doesn’t seem to be phased by much. Together they are a lively duo and perfect for eachother.

Their ceremony was held at St. Bartholomew in Alstonville followed by a scrummy location shoot at Lyndoch on the Lake – a great kept secret location in the Byron hinterland. We ended the evening as guests at the Ballina RSL for the reception, where many amusing stories, childhood photos and laughter were shared.

Congratulations on your marriage Bec & Brent!! Enjoy some of the memories captured …

Beautiful bouquets prepared by the very talented Lana from Green Lotus

Time to Celebrate!

Loved the autumn colours and light at Lyndoch. It was super yummy.

A step back in time with this 300-year old cottage. A fairy tale in the making.

Then with the help of the bridal party, the newly wed were showered in autumn leaves.

And here’s how they look at each other ‘adoringly’ – You’ve just got to laugh

An intimate moment to end the location shoot.

Brent and Bec, we truly enjoyed being your photographers and guests. Thank you for allowing us to share in your day and thank you for spoiling us with your location shoot choice – it was amazing!

Our work showcased on a global stage

We’ve been a little quiet in posting due to catching up with our very busy start to the year. Late last year, Portfoliositez, a US-based website template company issued a call to photographers, to submit images. They were looking for a company to partner with and launch some new templates.

A couple of months ago, we received an email from them that started like this:

” Thanks for sending in your images! We are finally getting around to picking which photographer we’d like to highlight in one of the new templates we are launching at WPPI. After reviewing all the entries we felt your images are the best and would go perfectly in our new full screen template ”

Wow…Craig and I felt both excited and honoured after reading this. Not only were we chosen from a pool of very talented international photographers, our images were going to be launched at WPPI (Wedding & Portrait Photographers International) convention in Las Vegas. We went last year and were blown away by the number of people that had attended. Over 12,000 wedding & portrait photographers immerse themselves in all things photography from technical skill development to new styles and trends.

We were further blown away when they said:

“We only offer a trade to those who have images that we truly feel will inspire other photographers, not to mention look great in any designs we come up with which is why we chose Jordan Photography.”

We were chuffed!! …to say the least. To all our wonderful clients, we thank you for allowing us to be a part of such a significant day in your life. We count it a privilege to be trusted to capture precious memories, emotion and detail on your amazing wedding day. It is our 6th wedding anniversary today (yes today – woohoo) and I couldn’t count the number of times we look back over our wedding album to remind us of all the special memories of the day and the love we have for one another. Every day we thank God for each other and for the gifts to capture and share memories that you cherish forever.

Here are the images we submitted initially. Don’t forget to go and check out the templates through the image links below …. you may see a familiar face

Now, for those who want to check out the template and who else featured, click on each of the screenshots below…. they named the two templates Carl & Henri

… and for those who just want some more reading, here’s a link to their blog post when henri launched.

Daniel & Jasmin – married!

diana — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 09:21:46 +0000

A brilliant day for a wonderful couple – Daniel & Jasmin got married at the St. James Parish in Kyogle on Saturday. There was a great buzz about the day and hilarious stories shared during the pre-wedding preparations. Having a number of school teachers in the room, including Jasmin, made for some interesting and very funny stories. We had fun with the entire bridal party and enjoyed the beautiful afternoon light on a property overlooking the town. Enjoy some teasers from the day.
