Some of the best photographs are found when everyone is relaxing and having some booze.

Jeremy & Courteney

Here’s a select few from our last wedding of the season. It was held at the Hamilton Gardens with a small shoot at Lido Cinema before hand. We haven’t been back in New Zealand for long and in that short time we’ve shot some really fun weddings, so a big thanks to all our clients and future clients. If you’re planning your wedding and looking for a photographer, get in contact with us so we can do something special for you too. Just to let the family and friends of Jeremy and Courteney know that their online gallery will be up early next week for viewing and print orders. Mixture of Leica M8, Leica M7, Leica Summilux 50mm f/1.4, and Ricoh GR1s.

Kylie & Kea | Full Engagement Session Post

admin — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 03:20:20 +0000

We had the best time photographing this engagement. The couple were amazing, their clothing was superb, and the location was perfect except the wicked wind. If you haven’t seen the video we shot for this couple you can see it HERE. You can see the full set we shot in our client’s section HERE (about 100 photos). For all the photographers who have been asking me about film scanning these were all scanned on an Epson V700. Mixture of Leica M7, Contax 645, Fuji Pro 400H, Fuji Reala 100, and Ilford Super XP2 film.

Kylie & Kea | Preview

Here’s a sneak preview of some of the work we’ll be posting soon. This was from Kylie and Kea’s engagement session, they pulled out all the stops with their clothing! Great 1920′s style. Contax 645, Zeiss Planar T* 80mm f/2, Fuji Pro 400H, Epson V700 scan.

Seaside Rock

Here’s a few more photos from my first lot of scans on the Epson V700. I’m really impressed with how good this cheap scanner is, these very nearly rival the quality from the Fuji Frontier. But, it takes quite a lot of time to get through the scans which is why I’ll only be using it for personal work or portrait shoots. I wouldn’t even consider trying to scan a wedding’s worth of film! Contax 645, Zeiss Planar T* 80mm f/2, Fuji Pro 400H film, Epson V700 film scanner.

New Work New Scanner

I had a great afternoon last weekend photographing Christy. We went out to Raglan, the wind was roaring but managed to get some great shots. This is one of my favourites from the day. This is the first lot of photos I’ve run through my new Epson V700 film scanner and I’m loving the results! More to come this week. Contax 645, Zeiss Planar T* 80mm f/2, Fuji Pro 400H, self scan Epson V700.
