Capturing the moment – alternative angles

August 19th, 2010 by Jason

Interesting and unexpected things will always happen during your wedding day. We do our best to ensure we’re constantly paying attention, camera ready to capture those moments, but a camera can only point in one direction at a time!

That’s why, when WE DO Photography & Design capture your wedding, you’ll get 2 photographers. This not only gives us great coverage and creative freedom, but it enables us to capture an alternative point of view – like this great montage of the wild Wellington wind whipping the hat off the groom’s mother during the middle of the formal photo!

Capturing the moment – #2

August 17th, 2010 by Jason
It’s about being ready. When the unexpected happens – as it always does – it’s about being prepared, camera in hand, to capture that moment.
Continuing our theme of ‘capturing the moment’, today’s image features the curious brother of the flower girl, peeping around the corner to uncover what that strange man with the camera is doing.
He turned an otherwise average photo of a dress hanging on a door into something interesting, curious, cheeky. A great moment.

Capturing the moment

August 12th, 2010 by Jason

Photography is about a lot of things. The coming together of the right scene, the right lighting and the right moment. As we press the shutter we imprint a visualisation of the scene, captured everlasting for others to share.

We make a lot of fuss over many facets of your wedding day. The fine details that you’ve spent months perfecting and aligning with your style. The natural beauty of the bride and bridesmaids. The closest and dearest friends and family all gathered to celebrate your joy. The dashing groom, lavish cake and stunning reception room.

These are all important. But what matters most to us is timing. The moment we chose to press the shutter.

When we press the shutter all other facets of our image are already aligned. In tune with our surroundings, aware of the light available to us and camera always ready for that particular circumstance, we strive for the moment.

That moment.

Grecian departures

August 10th, 2010 by Jason

Shortly before leaving New Zealand for the sunny and relaxing shores of Greece, Sarah asked us to photograph her gorgeous little girls Kristina and Betty as lasting memories for their grandparents.

In the natural environment of their own home, our absolute favourite place for shooting portraits, we spent an hour or two getting to know the girls and capturing them having a bit of fun.

Who could not be inspired photographing these two little faces? :)

Rahael & Brendon

July 22nd, 2010 by Aneta

It’s not typical to get married in the middle of winter, but everything about Rahael and Brendon’s wedding day was a bit unique. The cultural sensation of a sari-draped bride marrying a kilt-wearing groom. A storming and emotive groomsmen entrance teeming with Maori heritage, followed by the classic modern kiwi sound of Tiki Taane.

Prayer and faith were in abundance throughout the day. Personalised heartfelt vows flowed through to warm speeches and prayer. On a cold winter’s day in All Saints Church everyone’s heart was warmed by Rahael and Brendon’s love.

Bridesmaids gifted individually wrapped fruitcake to guests as they congratulated Rahael and Brendon before a GO Wellington bus transported them to The Pines, Houghton Bay, to continue the celebration of their marriage. The roaring fire created perfect ambiance for the drinks & canapés as the new Mr and Mrs Green mingled with their guests into the evening.
