Last Tuesday, I did the photo shoot for the bridal magazine Your Local Wedding Guide – Canberra Edition and it was a really fun day.
There were 18 wedding gowns from local and interstate designers, to shoot with different backgrounds, at the Hyatt in Canberra. We went from the hall way to the Presidential Suites, passing by the reception area to the Centenary Ballroom…
I would have loved to have an assistant for this shoot. It’s not that it was heavy lighting gears but I was using a massive beauty dish (Mola Setti, polished silver interior), on a boom with a dumb bell sand bag and the strobe was on a power pack: it started being a bit heavy running around on different shooting locations and I think we used all the levels and possible shooting locations.
As usual, we had two lovely models from Canberra: Katie and Nicole. I already did some shoots with Nicole but it was the first time that I shot Katie. She is so gorgeous that I already have plans to shoot her again in a near future.
We also had Zoe Barton to do the make up (www.zbmakeup.com.au) and the gorgeous Bree and Kayla from Pink Diamond Hair (www.pinkdiamondhair.com.au/) to do the …. hair.
I’ve already done some shoots with Zoe and Bree and I would definitely recommend them if you need a make up artist or hair stylist. both have participate in my Project M3 back a couple months ago.
I used a couple of Canon bodies and the Eye-Fi cards that allowed me to wirelessly tranfer images, on the fly, from the camera to the iPad. It is quickly becoming a permanent tool on my shooting sets.
As the photos will be on the next magazine, I can only post a few images from the BTS (behind the scene) of the shoot.
Thanks again to Prestige Publications, publisher of Your Local Wedding Guide, for having chosen NOMAD PHOTOGRAPHY to do their fashion shoot, it’s the third year in a row and it’s getting better and better
Just a teaser to keep you wait till the magazine will be released next year. Enjoy

Just a quick teaser on an awesome wedding and a gorgeous bridal party last Saturday: Poonam & Grant’s Wedding.
It was Foreshore by the lake so we avoided the area for our traditional location photography with the bridal party. Instead, we headed to the General Governor’s house and spent almost the whole afternoon there.
Needless to say that the spot was very busy but as we were there the first ones, we had all the fun.
After an awesome wedding on Saturday, I though I’d have some quality time chilling but it was raining outside. Nothing worse when it rain than not getting out and shoot.
Well, we didn’t shoot in the rain, Thanks to Jeff and Ailsa for opening the workshop on a Sunday afternoon to let me shoot there.
I knew Jeff & Ailsa, from Add Colour (76 Wollongong street, Fyshwick) for quite a few years now as they are the only premium quality printers, for big formats, that I am happy with.
We even played with Jeff’s car and I’d say that everyone enjoyed the location.
A big thank you as well for Jolina O’Hair for doing the make up for her sister in law, Jessica and the gorgeous Olga Valerie Shuster.
Big thank you to Isma Majeed for her awesome make up on Natalie Edwards and also to Kate Wal, who helped me with some of my previous shoots but this time, I shot her 🙂
I used only one light with a Mola beauty dish (Setti polished silver) for the whole session. More images coming soon.
All right, I couldn’t sleep so I sat back in front of the computer for some images taken today at the awesomest church in Canberra: All Saints Anglican Church, Ainslie.
One more sleep then the photos with all the gears and outfits 🙂
