I love Greek Weddings!!! They are so much fun!! Michael & Melanie were married at St. Demetrios Orthodox Church in a 45 minute ceremony full of culture and tradition. We headed down to the Honeysuckle and Newcastle wharf area to have their location photographs done….. Their reception was held at Charlestown Bowling Club….Congratulations to you both. Enjoy your images!!
Kaylee came to me to have some Fine Art pregnancy portraits done not so long ago….Along with her belly shots at home we went to the top of Newcastle to have her location portraits done - These are becoming so popular with more and more “yummy mummies to be” wanting belly portraits whch look graceful…The above images of Kaylee is amongst my favourites as it makes her look like she is walking her pregnancy journey. It’s all about creating an illusion so that you see shape and form without seeing lumps and flaws!!
I completely love the styling of these images. I was lucky enough to be found by Ross and Elizabeth to photograph their wedding…The happy couple reside in Mackay QLD but flew down to Quay West Magenta Shores Golf Course to be married in front of 60 family and friends. We had a perfect Autumn April day…and loads of fun on their location shoot buzzing around the golf course. Ross and Elizabeth have a portfolio full of elegantly relaxed images. Enjoy them and thanks to you and your families for allowing me to be part of your day!!
Congratulations to Scott & Karah. They were married amongst the trees at Buttai Barn NSW on 12th June 2010. A winter wedding in the cool breeze amongst the rustic location of old barns and a horse drawn carriage….The setting gave me the opportunity to give Scott & Karah a photographic portfolio with a hint of antique and farmyard charm….Scott & Karah it was an absolute pleasure for me to spend the day photographing you both. Thank you also to Rowanne from Envision Event Planning for all her hard work for making their wedding run like clockwork…..Everyone should have a “Rowanne” at their wedding!!!
One of my favourite photo opportunities was photographing ”Jimbo” on his own. How handsome is he!!!!
Animal portraits are becoming more popular…
They say ” never work with animal’s or children….Every animal lover and owner should have an Art Portrait of their animal as part of their collection of images…..
His oner Rebecca & Tom Lois absolutely adore him - Can’t you tel!!!!
Sam and Debbie were married at the Greek Orthodox Church in Skelton street Hamilton, followed by a reception with 200 plus guests!!!!
Their day was perfect weather and one of their locations was utilising the grand old tree’s of Laman Street Newcastle where we had space for the Hummer’s which were their bridal cars.
Thanks to Corina an Michael from H2 Hunter Hummers for making the day run so smoothly and for all your co-operation.
Rebecca and Tom are being married mid August at beautiful Wandin Valley Estate in the Hunter Valley NSW infront of 80 family and friends.
What’s great about this pre-wedding shoot was Jimbo the dog was part of the day and the photographs are full of character!! It really show Rebecca and Tom’s fun style!!!
A pre- wedding shoot is a fantastic way for you to get some images of the two of you in the lead up to your wedding day.
It also allows you to get a glimpse of how your photogreapher will work on your wedding day and to get to know your photographer…
Sam and Debbie are getting married at the end of August 2009 and had their pre-wedding shoot down in the Honeysuckle area in Newcastle NSW.
They have some stunning images of the two of them enjoying each others company!!
What a busy start to 2009 Petti Anastasi had in regards to wedding photography portfolio’s and it doesn’t stop there…flying out to Fiji in June for a bit of R & R and to recharge the batteries Petti will have some time for a little personal photography and to maybe offer her services to as a photographer at The Sheraton Fiji and for any couple’s getting married…..
If you are planning a wedding for the Spring, summer 2009/2010 now is the time to get stuck into planning your big day! One of the most important things to book early is your wedding photography. Petti Anastasi says ” dates book fast especially the early and late part of the year so if you find that you like a photographer and their work, make sure you secure your booking with a deposit….”
Planning is crucial in getting who you want to photograph your big day. Especially in the Newcastle and Hunter Valley regions as their are loads of weddings that happen every weekend and if you are looking at having a photographer like Petti Anastasi who is a local Newcastle / Hunter Valley photographer who works on her own then booking in advance is a must!!!
