Goodbye 2011 {Hello 2012}

Len — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 01:52:05 +0000

As I get older the years seem to fly by at increasing speeds. I don’t know whether that’s just a part of growing older or a part of starting a small business, but whatever it is, I’d prefer them to slow down just a little bit. If this is the pace at which they’re going now, I shudder to think of the blur they will be in a five or even ten years time. I’m the type of person that just looks to what’s next, that I rarely stop to look at all the things that have happened.This combined with the speediness of the past year and I don’t feel like I’ve had a chance to reflect on all that has happened. That’s actually one of my 2012 New Year’s resolutions, to stop, enjoy and reflect on everything that’s happening.

It wasn’t until I sat down at my computer looking through the images from the last year that I was struck by an overwhelming sense of warmth. To be surrounded by so many amazing couples, such wonderful friends & family and so much love on a weekly basis… I didn’t realise how amazingly fortunate I was and I’m so grateful to have gotten to know each and every one of you in the last year and I’m so excited for the amazingness that 2012 will bring.

The images below are a collection of images that represent the warmth of 2011 and tell the story of the year that was. Thank you all for your love, your support and your friendship.

One of my favourite things is seeing how people interact, I love watching the little moments when people think you’re not paying attention. Moments of sweetness and tenderness that show a lot more than saying anything. Michelle & Adrian are the sweetest couple that I could gush for hours about, but instead I’ll leave you with some photos form the lovely afternoon I got to spend with them.

I love the feel of polaroid, there’s just something about it that makes me swoon, as do the lovely Michelle & Adrian.

Just a little tease of the much prettiness to come! xx

Kristin & Steven are that awesome couple that everyone wants to be friends with. They’re a little bit funky, super easy to get a long with and thoughtful beyond words; I may have shed a tear (or two) when Steven thanked me during his speech.

Their day was full of little moments of kindness, sweetness, some incredible light and a heck of a lot of partying. These are some of my favourite moments from their day. Kristin & Steven thank you so much for trusting me with the memories from your day and thank you for being your awesome selves.

Li Dan and Syed {engagement session sneaky peek}

Len — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 03:10:18 +0000

There’s something that you should know about me, and that’s that I’m a complete and utter softie. I absolutely adore a good love story and I always want to help out. So, when I got an email about a last minute engagement session yesterday before the couple flew back to Malaysia this morning, I just had to help out. It was rather impromptu and a little bit rained out, but Li Dan and Syed were so amazingly lovely and appreciative that I could help them get their photos that it was truly a beautiful session that I just had to share this little sneak peek while I edit the rest.

Thank you Li Dan and Syed and thank you to the Sydney weather for holding out on the epic storms until we were finished.

Thank You!

There are moments in your life that you are so full of joy that tears burst out of your eyes and you sob uncontrollably like a child on Christmas morning. I had one of those moments last night. It was like the straw that broke the camel’s back, but in awesomeness, not sorrow. I need to say thank you, thank you, thank you to so many amazing people who surround me, to friends, family and clients, though really I could just say family ’cause that’s kind of what you all are.

I am so incredibly thankful that I get to do what I love for people who love what I do, it’s something that if you had told me a very short 3 years ago that I’d be doing, I would have scoffed and told you you were insane, but, how quickly things change.

So on this rainy Wednesday I say thank you to all my friends, family and all my lovely clients. Thank you for your support, your kindness and your beyond awesome amazingness.

And because no post would be complete without a photo, and a wedding I shot has been recently featured on Polka Dot Bride, I leave you with this little screen grab from the post. To see the full post, just click on the image.
