Eddy & Ondine

Once again I flew to Noumea, New Caledonia, to shoot a wedding.

Eddy and Ondine have been friends of mine for some years now and it was really pleasure to be invited to shoot their wedding.

We had it all for this special day: Heavy rain, thunder storm and a bit of sunshine. It was a bit of challenge to deal with the weather but I managed to take control of their “fear” and dragged them out for some photos.

Noumea is renown for it’s history and its lagoon. We didn’t have much options to deal with but we definitely had a good time.

PS: it was a bit of a challenge to go against local habits, especially to when I asked the newly wed to pose next to a pond, crossing a muddy grass just after a heavy rain… but again the results make them happy so…

A few images that I had time to process between to barbies with old friends.

The Good Time in Noumea.

It’s only when you leave a place that you really realize how awesome it was.
I used to live here and still have the chance to go back as I’m not that far, from Australia.
When I don’t regret being here with my family, I still enjoy coming back where I spent the most part of my life.

Lunch with my sister, niece and brother in law above the water at noon, (watching) kite surf championship in the afternoon, bbq with friends in the evening.
How would one not like this life style 🙂

Man, I miss this (is)land

I’ve been living there so long and never though of enjoying its endless beauty.

Organizing my landscape photos and I came across this series  I shot sometimes ago. It was a sunny day, as it is almost 10 months per year.

I remember never swimming in its water when it’s below 26 degrees Celsius system …

I’ll be back very soon.

PP

Who would guess that August would be such a busy period here in Canberra. I am still behind with the PP of the weddings that I shot overseas and the coming up wedding fair this Sunday…

One quick post of the snap during the wedding in Noumea. Nothing sexy (yet) but more to come, so stick around.
