Perth photography gets the picture
Some people just have it….the ability to take GREAT photographs. Sadly, I don’t, and I always seem to be asking other people to email me their pics or regretting that I haven’t taken the time to learn the basics of photography (of course, a new camera would help… a birthday coming up?!) Mine are very ordinary and I have been trying to get some good ones to send to family overseas. Plan B was to get some portrait photographs of my family done, because it’s the old story – the kids grow up so fast – and before you know it, you’re sounding like your parents did, saying “Where did time go? I can’t remember the kids when they were little!”
So I did a bit of research, looking for a Perth portrait studio that would take portraits of the family that were natural and that captured the kids’ characters. Not easy, given that I’ve got three sons and they’re all very different. Anyway, I came across a studio called Freedom Photography and I really liked the work that they showed on their website. Some interesting angles – not your run-of-the-mill ‘look at my face’ kind of portrait, but something a little bit different but not wacky.
Trying to pin my family down to a sitting is like trying to herd a troop of monkeys, but it can be done…eventually, and I’m sure that the Perth photography studio has a whole lot of tricks up its sleeve to get the picture.

When I dropped my sons at school for a cricket match last weekend, there was a bridal party standing on the stairs in front of the chapel surrounded by a wedding videographer, cameras etc, and it got me thinking about wedding videos and how they are a source of much fun on YouTube etc. There are some truly hysterical ones when things go wrong, the cake tips over, the bride trips over etc. and there are the ones that are intentionally funny (like the recent one where the members of the bridal party surprise everyone with a special dance down the aisle to set the mood).
But… and this is a big but…. most people don’t want their wedding video to be remembered as being funny or strange or chaotic etc. etc. They want a stunning, beautifully shot, professionally edited, crystal clear video – because it’s a visual heirloom for generations. Especially these days when videos can be shot in high definition and digitally mastered so that future copies are perfect quality.
So when I saw that bride on the chapel steps, I was really excited for her that she’ll have a gorgeous video or DVD and can relive every detail of her special day – again and again. Her wedding video will be watched for the RIGHT reasons !
