I love to capture
authentic love in beautiful light. Emotional. Natural. Genuine. www.israelbaldago.com You. You and your fiance are my focus on the day.
(28)

your wedding day will be captured in its most honest form, with a focus on your love for each other and the moments you experience. MY APPROACH

If you had to describe it, it would be a combination of photo journalism and fine art portraiture – but really it’s all about two people. My approach is to help you feel as comfortable as possible, and this starts with getting to know you both. On the wed

ding day, I’m stoked to be mingling with your inner circle and your family. These people mean the world to you and by that token alone, they are also my priority. Making sure you and your bridal party are having the time of your lives on the day. You’re already celebrating the most romantic day of your life, so you don’t need me to interrupt. It’s about finding the honest and genuine emotions that will naturally happen, but with my own unique eye and artistic perspective. If you’re nervous about being the centre of attention or having your photo taken, don’t sweat. Let me worry about the photo, you concentrate on getting lost in the emotion of the day and focusing on the ones you love. Weddings are important and deserve to be treated with the reverence they deserve, so I do the heavy lifting and you can savour each moment as it passes.

Should you have a "first look"?

CONS: for church weddings, it can mean a secondary location before the ceremony.

PROS: You get to see each other before everyone else does, spend sometime with just you and/or the bridal party.

You can spend more time with your guests post the ceremony, without the pressure of "rushing off" for photos.

the BEST part - that feeling you get when you see each other down the aisle does not diminish, so you get two bites at the cherry.

For a lot of people, the pros outweigh the cons, but with me, I'm all about turning the focus on you, so you can be present and enjoy the full experience of getting married (instead of just rushing off for photos)

Friends!
I'm ramping up the new year towards more Advertising and Editorial work. I'd love to get some new personal headshots and branding into the old showcase. I have about 6 sessions left available over the next two weeks.
They will be on location shoots similar to below to showcase your brand personality.
These are quick 45-60min sessions where we'll take photos on location and hopefully get you some bangers to start the new year as well!
Would love to have this done so I can refresh my business branding website. Which you can see here: www.israelbaldago.com
If you could like, comment or share to your network, that would be ace!
Some samples below of what I'm hoping to add to. Hit me up for more info [email protected] or comment below and I can get back to you.
Thanks for your support as always,
- Iz

[Nick + Rene] NEW YORK!! So good to meet you!! Well technically these two are New Yorkers now, but they’re both from my home country. To celebrate we went to the “new” - which hands down to me has the BEST views of Manhattan - you have to check it out, it’s definitely an experience.
A few frames from our session the other day - more to come

[Osman + Angela] After 3 months of planning - yesterday we did a thing! A super switched on partner and a very cluey fiancè to be meant that planning a proposal had to be done with lots of care to attention. Under the guise of a “wedding” Osman planned this proposal and picked the location in the Botanic Gardens. All the elements were in place, all we had to wait on was the weather. With heavy rain predicted - the sun made an appearance and everything was a go - and with such a stunning setup, how could she say no! More on this couple’s lovestory later but for now, congrats and Angela! The amazing team that put this together with me:

And for the location and venue management

[K I E R A. B L A N D E N] HOT DAMN! I had then pleasure of photographing the creativity of THE BEST wedding stylist in Adelaide - and my my my she did not disappoint. This lady is one of the hardest working, humble, and talented person I know and when you entrust her with creating a
V I B E for your wedding - she delivers. This event was held at penfold wines ( yes home of the famous grange ) and the brief was simple - go HARD and avoid white.

Held in the wine cellars amongst a million dollars worth of wine - this presentation fit right in and was nothing short of spectacular. Check out this neon 🔥❤️🖤 extravaganza and the bride’s reaction seeing the setup

[2021] That was strange right?? somewhere in the wackiness though, I managed to be a part of some epic celebrations - most of which had been rescheduled 5 billion times. This created some crazy good vibes once people got to fill some rooms with their tribe again. Here’s just a handful of them. Thanks to all the amazing wedding vendors who put together all of them without dropping the ball, (tagged) hit them up if you’re planning something fun, if they can roll this out in 2021, they’ll smash it for yours in the near future! I’m working on getting the final 2 out before I pack down our house and move the family somewhere we can call our new home. See you all next year, whatever it brings. Much love Iz xx
