RESCUERS: Medusa's Shipboard Suite

New inspiration wire

    I set up a new inspiration wire
    in the studio this weekend
    and "borrowed" that flat file drawer chest
    from Manuel.
    I put little notes over these photos
    at my Flickr page
    where you can get more info on all the prints
    I have on my wire.
    More notes on this little wall display here.

They look gorgeous and have captured the fun relaxed spirit of the day perfectly. Thank you.

    Dear Jane
    Thank you so much for creating lots of beautiful memories of our wedding day. It was such a privilege to be able to have you as our photographer. We will treasure the photos for a long time and wish you all the best into the future.
    Liz and Adam Purtill (14 March 2008)



    Dear Jane
    Thank you for providing us with such beautiful photos. The album looks amazing and we are very proud to show it off to our friends. We hardly even noticed you at the wedding and yet you have captured nearly everything.
    Paula and Joel Gregory (26 January 2008)



    Hi Jane
    Just wanted to let you know that we received the photos this morning. WE LOVE THEM!!!! Thank you so much for capturing the day and giving us memories that we will treasure always. We really appreciated your professional approach on the day - you were great and made us feel very comfortable and relaxed. All the best
    Amy and Jo (24 November 2007)



    Dear Jane
    Ben and I would like to thank you greatly for the wonderful photos you took of our wedding. They were exactly what we were hoping for and more - you really captured the mood and style of the day perfectly. Many people at the wedding commented on how pleasant and unobtrusive your style was; this was so evident in the lovely relaxed and candid shots you got of our friends and family.
    Sarah and Ben (27 October 2007)



    Dear Jane
    Olivia and I would just like to convey our sincere thanks and gratitude for the absolutely superb job you did with the photography at our wedding. To say we are delighted with the photo’s would be an understatement and we would just like to convey our special thanks for not only the great job you did with the photos (truly amazing job, some of the shots you took without being set up were simply brilliant ) but also for your confident and hassle demeanour that allowed us to relax knowing we were in the hands of a true professional. We cannot speak highly enough of the quality of the shots and the wonderful job you did and we are both just delighted with the end results!
    Olivia and Tim (20 October 2007)



    Hi Jane we had a look and we love it - please go ahead as is! We are very happy with all of your work thank you so much! Liz and Paul (14 April 2007)



    And here's a few from previous years:

    Thanks Jane, we were absolutely rapt with the photos. They are amazing. Karen and Ryan (4 March 2006)



    The canvasses are stunning! We absolutely love them! The wedding was just the most ace day - and your photos captured it just perfectly - I can't imagine having gone through the day with anyone else - you just totally 'got' us! And EVERYONE loves the photos, every single person we've shown thinks they're the coolest wedding pics they've ever seen, and that's all about you - you're a rockstar! Kathy and Paul (24 June 2005)


    Jane, Its BRILLIANT. I love it. Thank you so much you have done such an amazing job. I always thought you would do a fantastic job and its even exceeded those expectations. You've captured our day perfectly - traditional but with a sense of fun Also on the day one of my favourite things was having our photos taken, I thought it might be a bit of a chore but we all thoroughly enjoyed that part of the day. Natasha and Jason (16 April 2005)




    Thanks to you Jane! we have a most beautiful collection of photographs to go along with our memories. We love our album and the shot selection and we've already had many compliments on the settings and composition of many of them. We look forward to printing a few choice pieces up and having them pride of place in our home one day once we're settled back in Melbourne! Candi and Rob (31 December 2004)

LADY AND THE TRAMP

    I always enjoy hearing from readers. It is a special kick to get emails from around the world.

    Today I received two cheery emails from a gentleman named Pete Turner, from Sutton Coldfield, England.

    He sent THIRTY gorgeous backgrounds from LADY AND THE TRAMP, and generously gave permission to share them with you.

    Enjoy these, readers! I know Pete spent a great deal of time and creative energy digitally recreating these.

    Thank you, Pete! All I can say is WOW! Here is the first installment:

Lauren and Kevin :: June 7, 2008

    fun without power

    Yes - 06-07-08! What an awesome date to be married! And awesome it was! Lauren and Kevin's wedding is by far the most eventful and crazy wedding I ever encountered in my life!

    The day started out in the mid 80's - hot, sunny and humid. I was happy when I entered the church to find out that the AC was on full blast! Lauren and her girls were getting ready in the bride's room and Kevin and his guys were in the parking lot decorating their pick-up trucks.

    The first challenge of the day came from the pastor of the church. I wasn't allowed to come up the middle aisle for any part of the ceremony. That meant I couldn't be in my usual spot for the rings, the unity candle or the kiss! Luckily the pastor allowed me to be half way up on the side aisles... I captured the exchanging of the rings from the right aisle and Jason Samsa (a photographer shadowing and second shooting) covered it from the left aisle. I ended up sitting as a guest in the pew for the kiss and popped out at the last moment to get an awesome shot from the center. I was able to capture all the moments as they happened and from a more unique angle.

    After the ceremony and receiving line we were ready to start shooting the group formals. At that exact moment the tornado sirens started to blast. I hurried and completed all the family and wedding party poses. After the last group the power flickered and eventually the church lost all power. The sirens went off again and eventually everyone that was left in the church found their way to the basement.

    Sometimes challenges can lead to more creativity in the way I shoot and not having access to light is a major challenge! Another challenge was to keep the momentum of the day from dying out. So we played! Jason came up with a great idea of painting with light. I had all the bridesmaids and the bride open up their cell phones and trace letters in the air while I photographed them with a long exposure. The results were fantastic!!! We had soooo much fun and it made the one and a half hours in the basement of the church go by without stress.

    We finally made our way to the reception hall, thank goodness the power was on! I was able to shoot about 15min outdoors with no rain. I decided to stay past my end time to get some outdoor shots of the bride and groom alone. It was worth staying the extra hour to get beautiful images of Lauren and Kevin on the golf course.
