Naomi and Bryan’s E-Session in London, UK
Stuart and I had the pleasure of photographing Naomi and Bryan in London, when we were there for business during October. It was so amazing to photograph in the heart of London. The lights, the culture. And of course Naomi and Bryan were amazing.
We utalised a lot of Off-Camera-Flash during this shoot. This was to capture both the ambience of the wider area and Naomi and Bryan too.

Some recent weddings
We have been so busy with weddings, engagement shoots and portraits lately that I just have not had time to blog. I wanted to share a few special images from some recent weddings however. Enjoy!
Let’s start with Kate and Dan’s wedding last Friday.
We had Caroline and Peter’s wedding a couple of weeks ago.
And on the same day, Stuart and our other shooter, Kerryn, photographed Debbie and Alex.
VideoStory
Emerald Eye Photography are pleased to announce the introduction of VideoStories. These beautifully captured and edited videos are able to tell a story, further enhancing your memories of your special day.
What is a “VideoStory” a video story is a collection of short clips from your Wedding Day (or portrait session) combined with your professional photographs all produced with our top of the line 5D Mark II’s. These cameras are capable of producing the highest quality HD video as well as of course gorgeous still images.
Why do we as photographers offer HD Video (clips)? Shouldn’t we focus on the still imagery?
Our focus has and always will be our still photography, but our background and skills have always extended into Video and Editing, and as we already have experience in the industry, with our new camera’s that offer both mediums, it is an extension on what we are able to offer you as clients.
Should we still hire a professional videographer?
We recommend if you desire full coverage of your wedding day in video you should hire a Videographer. VideoStories are more specialised in their approach, capturing the moments, telling the story of the day through a 3 - 6 minute video set to music.
If you just want to remember the highlights and the feeling of your day in video mixed with your professional photography, then a VideoStory is for you.
Our VideoStory of Lesleyjane and David is posted here for you to view. Set in a beautiful location at Gembrook, Swallowfield Winery and later Forest Edge, this VideoStory captures the emotion of their beautiful day.
VideoStories are available in our Platinum Premier package or as an Al La Carte option for $1000. The finished VideoStories are uploaded in high quality online for you to share with your friends and also presented to you in a personal DVD player photo frame along with all your photos from your wedding day that can be played on repeat. What a beautiful idea.
Lesleyjayne and David’s Wedding
What a beautiful wedding! I was just totally in awe of the location that Lesleyjayne and David chose for their ceremony. This hidden “Gem” in Gembrook is just breathtaking! Lesleyjane and David were blessed with the weather too, it was just gorgeous.
The Ceremony was held at Swallowfield Vineyard, in Gembrook. This is not just a Vineyard, this is a hidden paradise, I can’t wait to photograph another wedding at this location. The property is large with many hidden treasures throughout, including lakes, pine plantations, old shacks and of course, the expansive vineyard.
Lesley Jane and David had their reception that Forest Edge in Gembrook. These two properties are connected. I recommend to anyone planning their wedding, this venue should definitely be on your list to check out! Contact Forest Edge for details: www.forestedge.com.au
I’ve got so many more fantastic images to edit, but I just had to get a few of my favourites up here.
So many more favourites, more to come soon…
