it's not the pictures, it's the memories.

To be frank, I’ve never had a shoot rain out on me whilst shooting overseas – that’s really the reason why I normally try to leave 2 days for a shoot so that I have some form of backup should inclement weather prevents us from shooting. Normally, rain, if any, will come and go and we can play hide-and-seek with the weather but this time round, it rained non-stop on our first day in Brisbane with Aaron and Joycelyn. It was truly a tough shoot, and my camera equipment got all wet and mucky. Fortunately for us, the 2nd day was amazingly bright and sunny!

Despite all of that, I had a wonderful couple in the form of Aaron and Joycelyn. Never have I seen a couple so willing to brave the elements and the gowns(!) to get the shoot going. Most of the time, they would be literally shooting in the rain. My hat really goes off to them. I realised halfway through that no matter how tough the shoot went, I owed it to them to make sure that we would get images that they will cherish. Thanks guys – for being so commited, and also for some great Vietnamese food!

I really had a hard time picking images to show on the blog, so here goes!
