The Wedding of Drew and Annabelle Woodhouse in the Hunter Valley
August 8, 2011
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….

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!!
How to look amazing for your Wedding Photographs!!
January 28, 2009
Every bride wants to look glamorous in her wedding photographs. A professional photogarpher knows how to place you to look your best and what sort of poses are more appealing!! But what gives brides that flawless look….well….Makeup!!!
Always have your wedding makeup applied heavier than what you would normally wear. The camera needs heavier makeup to be able to pick up definition of the cheeks and eyes. Your lips also need to have colour on them……the nude lips look which is popular only works in the right lighting situations. Weddings are bsutling events which happen in all different lighting so having makeup on and colour is always going to bring out the best in you.
Here is Kristy on the morning of her wedding….Kristy’s make-up was heavy and striking and the camera loved her. Kristy & Dan were married at Treachery in Seals Rocks in a beautiful ceremony out amongst the cabins at Treachery….
Candid Wedding Photography…… the preferred style for today’s couple!!
January 18, 2009
After 10 year’s in the business of photography and 450+ wedding’s later I (Petti Anastasi) know which images become couple’s favourite’s…..they are always the one’s which I shoot when the couple are taking no notice…..It is like I steal a moment out of the day!!! Really I like to think of my images as many moments from the day creating a story which lasts a lifetime!!
It is important for me to get to know my client’s before the wedding day….If the bride and groom are relaxed with me then their wedding images will show more intimacy and emotion. I always am prepared for the unexpected as that is when the couple let their guard down and that’s when I start shooting!!!!
5 Thing’s Petti Anastasi say’s you should remember on your wedding day to help create candid images:
- Always have a smile on your face ( even a half smile ). Be aware that you are being followed all day by a photogarpher and you can be captured at any moment.
- Allow yourself to forget that their is a photographer snapping away ( but like Petti say’s be aware!)
- Relax into your location shoot and go with the flow so to speak….do what come’s naturally to you.
- Interact with your partner and don’t be shy to show your feelings.
- Don’t always look at the photographer…..the best wedding images are always when the couple are looking away from the lense!
