Vivien and Joshua’s Wedding

Peter — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 00:47:58 +0000

I love how Chinese tea ceremonies give the parents and other family members a chance to really be involved in the wedding. They can take a moment to bless the couple and give them words of love and encouragement, it is such a great tradition to have part of weddings. Plus the beautiful reds and golds, the offerings and the incense really add to the sense of culture and history that these couples are part of.

Josh & Vivien’s was one such wedding. With two tea ceremonies, a civil ceremony, a drive out to Emerald Lake and a nine course reception dinner, they were in for a big day, but both of them were so relaxed for the start and ready to enjoy each moment. Although Josh may have felt the pressure when Vivien’s bridesmaid’s set him a tough challenge before he was allowed to enter the house!

I must say a special Thank You to Josh & Vivien for including us in the nine course dinner, we were very spoilt to be able to try shark fin soup, quail and lobster and it really made us feel part of their wedding day.

Hope you guys enjoy the highlight.

Rebecca & David Highlight

Peter — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 21:18:27 +0000

Last night we dropped off the final DVD’s to Rebecca and David as an early Christmas present. It was wonderful catching up with them again, and just like they were on their wedding day they were so welcoming and excited to see us! We are really proud of this wedding film and were thrilled to receive a thank you message after they watched the DVD last night – it’s those moments that we remember we love what we do!

So, I now have the pleasure of presenting to you Rebecca and David’s highlight. It was such a pleasure to be part of their day and I really wanted their highlights to capture the love and spirit of the joining of not only Rebecca and David, but their families as well. It truly a wonderful day full of family, friends and lots of smiles!

Also we would like to wish a Merry Christmas and a happy and safe New Year to everybody.

Enjoy

Peter.

Veldhoven Family // Fusion Life Style

Peter — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 21:27:12 +0000

We are super excited to present a new product we are offering in conjunction with j-[studios]. The Life Style shoots are all about family – capturing the moments and creating memories. We spend part of their day capturing the activities the family enjoy doing together to create a fun and funky photo/video fusion style highlight, and with the addition of interviews with each member of the family, we can tell their story.

The Veldhoven family was so welcoming and the kids were very excited and not shy of being in front of the cameras at all! I really enjoyed capturing the interactions in the family and crafting it into a memory they can hold on to forever. And the fantastic stills taken by Jess really help highlight those special moments – its going to be exciting to work together with Jess on future Life Style shoots. Click here to check out some more stills from the shoot.

Check back soon as we have more Life Style videos to come!

Happy New Year!
