A Banner & A Pillow

I designed a banner for my dear friend Margie's blog
from some of these elements that I painted inspired by her gorgeous photographs.
You can go check out how the banner looks at her lovely blog by clicking here.



I finally got around to designing a product at Envelop. I plan to design many more.
In the mean time this bird pillow is now available for purchase!

Long weekend Wedding in Munster, Germany

This bank holiday weekend I spent an amazing three days in Munster, Germany.  Regular readers may remember the shoot I did of Christina and Felix in London a few months back and now it was time for their wedding in Germany.  Flying in on the Friday we were invited to a pre-wedding party celebration at the side of the lake in Munster.

The following day was the big day and what a day it turned out to be.  In the lead up to the Saturday, Munster had experienced an incredible amount of rain in the space of a few hours so there were a few nerves about what Saturday would hold.  They needn't have worried as the sun shone when it was supposed to and when it did rain, it was only for a few minutes and when everyone was inside anyway.  Christina and Felix were married in a traditional church service in Munster, then all of the guests were invited to Felix's parents home for the first of two receptions.  A beautiful home filled with amazing artwork and with it's own lake gave so many photo opportunities.  After the first reception there was a short break and then it was off to the castle in Nordkirchen for the late afternoon and evening.  An amazing venue to photograph and perfect ending to a beautiful wedding.  Finally on the Sunday we were treated to a brunch and barbecue before the short trip to the airport.

Shooting weddings overseas is always a great experience but you become reliant on the people who have invited you over and are looking after you.  So we have to thank immensely all the guests and especially the family of both Christina and Felix for their generous and wonderful hospitality and making our trip such a memorable experience.  I look forward to sharing the full wedding story and more pictures with you all shortly but for now I have picked out a couple of images of the day.

Thanks for allowing me to bring along Tony for the ride as well. The day was perfect. Met lots of folks I'm probably related to by 4 or 5th cousin. Such nice folks. Always love shooting Persian weddings.

All i have is your name deep down in my soul.

I woke up early today to head over to Union station with my mum,dad,and younger sister.
i had to turn in this application for a train pass.
anyhooo,my sister and i fell in love...with the building of course.
we used to go their all the time when we were little,but now that we're all "grown-up" it was
like seeing it for the very first time,it was like a 1920's paradise.
the architecture,the seats,the platforms,the telephone,the restaurants in their...it was beauty.
afterwards we went back to Olvera Street;which i have done a blog on.
my sister and i went to all the little shops again,one in particular that's our absolute favourite,the candle shop.
it reminds us of the shop that was featured in The Craft!
anyways,i purchased a couple of things,as did my sister.i got a small medallion for a necklace
of "our lady of Guadalupe"...for obvious reasons,my mum named me after her...or shall i say
that she promised her that if i were to be born normal she would name me after her.
you see,i wasn't meant to be born at the age that my mum was,but here i am :D
so yeah,i've always had this connection and love towards the virgin.
i also bought these worry dolls;which i will explain more about on another blog,since i
will be putting up pictures.and a "love" candle;not to get someone to love me,but more on
me loving more easily,since i am complicated when it come to that realm.
hei hei
xoxo
