Here are a few Christening photos taken last Sunday at the Our Lady of Dolours church in Chatswood. It was an early morning ceremony and 4 children were baptised.
Over the weekend I worked with Alice and Dicky on a pre wedding session.
Dicky is a photographer himself, so as it turned out, the afternoon of shooting went really smoothly.
My job was made easier as both Alice and Dicky were really relaxed infront of the camera. These guys are naturals!
We shot at a few locations around Sydney harbour and I had an absolute blast doing so. I can’t wait to shoot your wedding guys!
I’ve included a few images below:
Our final destination for the Japan trip was Miyajima Island.
After quickly making our way through the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, we rushed down to the ferry terminal, parked the car and boarded the ferry for Miyajima.
Unfortunately, by the time we arrived, it was already dark.
We quickly checked into the Ryokan and ordered our dinner. The region around Miyajima is famous for its oysters, so naturally our meal included some fried and grill oysters. These were very nice indeed.
As expected from my previous experience at a Ryokan in Hakone, the food was presented beautifully. Just look at the pictures!
A Ryokan is a traditional Japanese inn, so the room was decorated accordingly. While we were at dinner, the staff came to our room, moved the furniture around and setup our beds on the staw tatami.
After dinner we decided to make the most of our time and take a walk around. Miyajima island is deserted at night, and as it hasn’t changed a whole lot since ancient times, it can be quite scary! its like a ghost town!
Up early the next day,we took another walk around as we had to leave by midday to make it back to Osaka for our flights. The Japanese breakfast at the Ryokan was again presented beautifully, and equally tasty.
We spent the rest of the time walking the town before leaving this beautiful place.
Well, that concludes my writeup on our trip to Japan…..
now…. back to writing about portraits and weddings!
