My Graduation!

So after two long years and as my father 'in law so aptly put it: "I can take a photo now"! Yes the seemingly elusive Diploma of Photoimaging is now mine and now the real hard work begins! Luckily this kind of work is so much fun!

So here's a couple of photos from my graduation that my Dad took.

To save confusion...

Hi all... I've got a new e-mail address to save confusion of having those two "p"'s in there together....

My new e-mail address is: wendypoelstra@ymail.com.

Friends & family can still contact me on wendamp@yahoo.com.au.

My previous e-mail address will still be active for a few months but will be phased out.

Thanks!

Brisbane Storms

Here's a couple of shots from tonight's storm in Brisbane. The storm had gone over us by the time these shots were taken and was heading east from what I can gather.

Album Design - Darren & Megan

I thought i'd show you this album design that I did for Darren & Megan (who were married earlier in the year) for their wedding album. Its designed for a flushmount album or magazine styled album. Darren & Megan's album is HUGE so i'll just show you a selection of pages.

I'm off to an Indian Hindu Wedding this morning! It's Kiru & Rohan's. They are getting married over two weeks. Today is the Hindu ceremony and next week they are having a civil ceremony. I can't tell you how excited I am to be documenting this couple's wedding! They are the most lovely and generous of people. Anyhoo, i'm off to make a coffee for me and my hubby before I take off!

Enjoy your day!

Photosynthesis Exhibition

My two year study for my diploma is nearly coming to an end. And to celebrate my class is hosting an end of year exhibition which we have had to organise as part of our assessment! Our opening night at 7pm on Friday, 28th November at the Flipbook Gallery at 8 Greet Street, West End and is open to the public. Also you can view our exhibition from Saturday 29th November - Tuesday 2nd December from 10am - 5pm. Hope you can make it... especially if you're in the Brisbane area!

Oh and a little plug for the awesome graffic designer Tiffany Wallace who graduated last year and worked this poster up for us! If you need any graffic design work done contact Tiffany on tlarpent@gmail.com.

Brett & Mika Married - 19.10.2008

Congratulations go to Brett & Mika for their marriage on the 19th October! It was an absolutely beautiful day and Brett & Mika were married at the Fairways Golf & Beach Retreat (http://www.fairwaysretreat.com.au/) on the surf side of Bribie Island (Woorim). Brett & Mika had penthouse apartments booked at the fairways and maybe I'm a little sheltered but the apartments were enormous! (and gorgeous!) A big thank you to Jeff at Fairways who helped me out during the week to scope out the site for the big day.

Anyways back to Brett & Mika. They had a small and intimate ceremony on the rooftop of the Fairways, absolutely lovely. After that we took off to the park and a little later the beach to have some relaxed shots!

Brett & Mika, thank you for involving me in your special day.

SilverEdge Photography - Scott & Satchiko Married!

I'm really pleased to tell you that I have been working for all of this year with Sophie Greensill who is the owner and principal photographer of SilverEdge Photography! And not only is she all that but Sophie is also mum to two gorgeous little boys and a lovely human being and friend.

Here are a couple of shots from the wedding I did solo for SilverEdge the weekend before last. Scott & Satchi are from NSW and came up to Brisbane for the wedding. They were married at the very beautiful Broadway Chapel http://www.broadwaychapel.com/ .

There will be more shots on Sophie's blog http://silveredgephotography.blogspot.com/.

New Logo

You may have noticed that I've changed my logo... thought it was time for a fresh start, I've used my original logo for nearly 2 years and its taken me through most of my study. I'm liking it but I'm wondering if it's too casual for wedding photography in particular. So... what do you think?

September Holidays - Part 2: Takin it to the Beach

As I mentioned before we had a great place to stay overnight... kind of crazy for one night as to how lovely it was...

Many thanks to the folks at Pacific Paradise Resort http://www.queenslandspacificparadiseresort.com/index.html for the lovely stay. For a two day trip we hit the beach 3 times which made Luci very happy... here's some shots of our morning beach trip...













Here's some shots of the apartment we stayed in overnight... at reception they told us that we saved nearly $100 by going through http://www.wotif.com/ .



Ok, i made this bed so it usually looks property made up when you first walk in... just visualise the bed made up...







Off to the park to wait for the day to cool down a bit before our last swim...











Ahhh.... holidays... gotta love em!
