The Wedding of Drew and Annabelle Woodhouse in the Hunter Valley

I must say that Drew and Annabelle’s wedding was a true winery wedding. Modern Elegance and informal capture was exactly how their wedding photographs are…..Annabelle’s dress was made by Melanie Ford which was exquisite!! They were married outside Enzo’s Cafe at Pepper Creek Winery on the lawn next to the fountain…..The romantic ceremony was followed by a cocktail reception where guests mingled and enjoyed spending the evening with Drew and Annabelle….Congratulations to you both….

Petti Anastasi’s Fiji Wedding…Congratulations Greg and Renee!

What an exotic location to hold your wedding…..It was truly romantic. Greg and Renee were married on the 5th September 2010 at the Shangri La Fijian Resort on Yanucca Island and it simply was amazing!!! Greg and Renee’s ceremony was held in the Chapel along with a Fijian Choir and their reception was outdoors under the trees and the fairy lights on the Chapel Lawn…

I absolutely loved the location….Greg and Renee’s wedding image collection is full of bright vibrant beach images and beautiful sunset images with a resort feel……A fantastic time was had by all…

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!!

Ross and Elizabeth’s Golf Course Wedding Magenta Shores Central Coast

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!!

Scott & Karah’s Country wedding at Buttai Barn NSW

Two little country angels!!

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!!!

Happily married!

Happily married!

What seperates me (Petti Anastasi) from other Newcastle photographers?

I have come to realise recently that within the Newcastle and Hunter Valley area in NSW there are so many “wedding photographers”offering their services. How do you choose who best suits your big day??? I asked myself ” why should couple’s choose me? What is different about me and other professional photographers? These are really tough questions to ask yourself. So many talented photographer’s are in the Newcastle and Hunter Valley area…..what seperate’s Petti Anastasi and why have me capture the most memorable day of your life?
 
I suppose I could say it is my documnetary approach to weddings….how I like the “photojournalistic” style of shooting where I photograph what I see…..but – really….any good photographer can say that….I think my point of difference is that I am passionate about every wedding and about what I do as a photographer…..How I love to turn up on the day knowing that the wedding I am about to witness and be part of is completely different to the one I just finished! I actually do photograph my take on the day but I then jazz the image with a little glamour and try and apply a creative spin on what I am seeing. That is what I bring to every wedding portfolio. After looking back at your collection of images your favourite image will not be the one where you are both looking and smiling to the camera….but the little moments through out the day captured….where an expression says it all!!

Congratulations to Sam & Debbie Tsiaousis

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.
