A little fave from Dom & Chris’ killer day at the always fabulous

28/07/2023

A bit of throw back to a really special day a good 6 or so years back… Incredible energy filled the air and a lot of it was thanks to Christine’s whimsical energy and captivating tranquility. I’m still so grateful to these two for being so engaged in the creative process and as a result we were able to truly jam and experiment in a couple different ways. As a result it sent me on a few different paths with my photography journey in the years ahead and can’t imagine that happening without them. (And for fellow geeks out there, it was also the first wedding I I used which was a huge for me in being able to achieve tones I’d always imagined but never been able to achieve in Lightroom)

FAMILY SESSIONS

While sipping our morning coffee the other day and I thought it could be fun to jam on some family sessions together. And now, just like that it’s happening - game on!

There’s something really wholesome and fulfilling to document a brief little window in a family’s life, and a real treat to be a fly on the wall snapping those real life moments that happen each and every day. Of course when there’s little ones involved it’s a little less predictable too which keeps every session unique and a whole bunch of fun.

We’re offering limited spots on these dates…

12th & 13th of August - G-Town and the Bellarine

26th & 27th of August - Melbs

9th & 10th of October - Mornington Peninsula

Spots are already being gobbled up so if you’re keen flick us a DM or head to the link in my bio for more info and to book in ❤️

Oh hey social media! It’s me, Eric. It’s been a wild year with lots on so I tapped out of the old ‘gram for a bit. I’m back. Are we still using this thing though or are we plotting a MySpace reboot revolution? I’m down if you are. I have lots to share on all fronts with heaps of new work, running a most fabulous workshop retreat which was beyond words, and a few adventures overseas for business with a sprinkle of pleasure (in the form of Negroni’s and charcuterie). For now though, just gunna dip my toe in with a recent fave…

Shoe time, with a little help from mamma bear 👠👠

This was taken almost 10 years ago at Boyd Baker House. A place that must be seen in the flesh to be fully appreciated. It has an especially big soft spot for me as it was a place where pennies dropped all those years ago. In a few weeks time along with legendary team and a whole bunch of talented friends and colleagues we will enter this time machine and be together. It was meant to be a ‘snap’ hoedown, but after all the twists and turns of lockdowns it’s now been a good while in the making, definitely not so ‘snap’ anymore. It’s exciting, but also scary because we’re doing something based not on the conventions for this kind of stuff, but rather listening to our gut, and offering an experience we ourselves would want to have. Something that would help, inspire and just be a whole bunch of fun. It’s going to undoubtedly be different in every possible way. Can’t. Flippin’. Wait.

Lots of couples are getting married here in Vic much later into the year than usual, obvs due to them spending the past couple years patiently waiting for the world to stop imploding so they can finally get hitched. Now, it makes a lot of sense to get married in the summer months - here for it. BUT, it has also been such a massive treat shooting post daylight savings and be working with much more gentle, warm, soft, kind and generally freaking glorious light. I literally embarrassed myself while photographing these of Emma & Sam, losing my mind at what mother nature had served up for us 😳🤯🤩😵‍💫🤤. I may have owed a few fivers to the swear jar too. I reckon if you’re planning a wedding at the moment it’s worth thinking about. Don’t be scared of having your wedding outside of the peak summer months. The sun gods might just shine gracefully upon thee…

Doing a first look can be a good way to ease any pre-ceremony jitters. Once you see each other often that anxiety melts away and you’re left nothing but fully psyched to make it legit. Once you enjoy that moment of seeing how hot you both look in your outfits it can present an opportunity to take a few portraits too. The added benefit here is that if you nail down a good schedule you don’t necessarily have to disappear for those shots later on the day when you might prefer to be doing tequila shots at the bar with yours guests. However! If you do vibe with first look, one of the challenges is that light during the middle of the day is more of a wild beast that must be reigned in. This is where talking to your photographer to jam on a good game plan together, discuss the pros and cons, how to make light our friend and workshop some suitable locations can be especially helpful! This Jessy & Kav nailing the first look game with a healthy dose of joy 🤌

I’ve just returned from an incredible trip to Rome, rocking @blanc.portraits for the most glorious wedding of two fine souls, @jimmy_raper & @sopsliep. James and I go way back as wedding photographers, and over a brief couple of moments we had some great chats about what has changed over the years—especially in how wedding stories are photographed, shared and presented. As a cinematography fiend from way back, creating visual narratives has always been at the heart of how I approach photography, always mindful that each shot is a little puzzle piece in the bigger story. While some things, like the humble blog post, fade into the rearview mirror, new challenges—and exciting possibilities—emerge. Meanwhile, back during those pesky lockdown days, I started making music, and I’ve been obsessed ever since. In the months ahead my goal is to get more comfortable sharing what I hide away and make in my bedroom. So, combine a trip to Rome, reconnecting with some old colleagues, revisiting memories of photographing @joanne.malatesta & salvatore.malatesta’s wedding in Rome some time ago, and a 2 hour bus ride through the Italian countryside spent throwing together a song - mash that all together and you get this video. This was just a bit of an experiment but it felt good, and I’m excited to keep making these. Ultimately, it’s about adding a sonic layer and soundtrack to the photos that has been there all along. If you have 90 seconds to spare the I hope you enjoy. #RomeWedding #DestinationWedding #WeddingInRome #WeddingPhotography #Cinematography #StorytellingThroughFilm #RomeWeddingPhotographer #WeddingVideographer #MelbourneWeddingPhotographer #MusicProducer #WeddingReel #CreativeJourney #WeddingMusic #MovieScore #DestinationWeddingPhotographer #Rome #Italy

It was a wildly surreal experience getting a last-minute call to be a photographer (and host) on an episode of The Bachelorette US that was being filmed here in Australia. The photographing was the easy part 🤪 It was so surreal that it was hard to put into words, so instead, I expressed it as my alter ego @manchyld_ 😈 A big thanks to the Bachelorette @jenntranx, legendary wildlife expert @wildlifexposure, the killer production team @bachelornation, and of course to the cast of fine gents for all making it such a great experience. #TheBachelorette #BehindTheScenes #MelbournePhotographer #WeddingPhotographer #MelbourneShoot #Australia #RealityTV #OnSetPhotography #FunkMusic #OriginalSoundtrack #BedroomProducer #CreativeJourney #TVAppearance #SurrealExperience #MusicAndPhotography #FunkVibes #ArtistLife #MelbourneAustralia #RealityTVExperience #UniqueOpportunities #PhotographyInspiration #BacheloretteBehindTheScenes #FunkSong #MelbourneCreatives #MusicProducer #PhotographerOnSet #TVProduction

I’ve been captivated by light my entire life, before I even knew it. When the teacher was talking in class I’d be lost in how the sun would bounce off the canteen window into the classroom and sprinkle dappled light onto the periodic table thumbtacked to the wall (never did learn that bloody thing 🙄). What has really surprised me though as my hair follicles lose more pigment is how completely limitless the possibilities of light are - what the sun gives you, what you can make from nothing, how you can see it, manipulate and play with it - all variables resulting in vastly different dynamic and expression. The exploration and the learning is the funnest part. Knowing there’s no end point or finish line is pretty cool. Add a couple like Annaliese & Billy, grounded, present, full of love and connection and I’m not sure I could feel more alive in the simple act of making. While the scope is infinite, my aim has always been to bottle up some of the real-life magic that is often hard to grasp, to give to people as memory, nostalgia and legacy. It’s a great gig. I couldn’t be more thankful to be doing it. 🎵Rüfüs Du Sol - I Don’t Wanna Leave
