Hey All,

I discovered many years ago that I’m not really all that good at getting up early in the morning, actually to be honest, I’m not get at getting up in the middle of the morning either. So when I decided to go to Caloundra to do some photography this morning… I just stayed up all night after loading myself up with caffiene and a power nap :)

Anyway, the resulting photos were well worth the effort, I’m glad I went up there to get these shots:

Also don’t forget that Redbubble have free shipping at the moment, they will give you a code to enter on purchase in order to recieve the free shipping. Check out my 2009 Calendar too:

Hey All,

I’m in the process of launching a new website, dedicated just to my art work, it’s still very much a work in progress at the moment, but the very basics are there. Feel free to check it out over at http://www.paulmp.com.au

Hey All,

Just letting you know that RedBubble have given me a special offer of free postage with every order! So if you are after any of my prints, now would be a good time to purchase them.. I know they get really busy leading up to Christmas so if you were after a calendar, it would be good to order them now, so that you get them in time.

Hey All,

I know it’s been a bit few and far between posts lately, it’s just been so insanely busy.. I’ve not had much time to sit in front of the computer and do some work on my photos. I’ve got some ready to go and heap more that just need to be digitally processed. Plus I’m still catching up from all the recent weddings!

I shot a wedding with Marcus Bell recently, he’s awesome to work with, pretty laid back and I approach weddings in a similar fashion to him. Unfortunately I can’t really show any of the photos that I shot as they belong to Marcus and Studio Impressions. I was really happy with a couple of the shots.

My 2009 Australian Landscapes calendar is ready for purchasing now! Get in and get one before the Christmas rush. I’m getting them printed through RedBubble, I know that they get insanely busy leading up to Christmas, so it’s probably best to order one now if you are going to get one :)

They are available to buy at this link

I’ll keep everyone posted as to what is happening with my Perth Trip, at the moment our flights are booked for the 28th of November! We’re still trying to arrange a car to buy over there, so if anyone knows of anyone selling a manual Subaru Forester GT that is no older than 1999, then please let me know, they are few and far between at the moment.

Hey All,

I’ve got a stack of photos coming real soon, some new art prints to be added to my red bubble account and other photos.

I’m planning a trip to Perth as well at the moment, so if you have a wedding or a portrait shoot between December 1st and January 7th, please let me know if you want me to be there as I will already be in town and happy to help out!

Hey All,

I shot an intimate wedding today for some close friends of mine, they had a beautiful ceremony in the park at Woody Point, Redcliffe Peninsular. Got some great photos.

Here is the slideshow of their day today.

Thanks for having me at your wedding Tuata & Jacqui, Bec and I had a great day, all the best!

Hey All,

I shot an amazing wedding today! A lovely couple called Mel and Josh, Mel contacted me through my website after her sister checked out my work through my myspace page.. which is currently in much neglect! I arrived at 12:30pm to meet with girls and take photos of them all getting ready, I’m really happy with the shots I got, they were very organised and relaxed, which makes my job so much easier :)

The wedding was held in the Latrobe Street Chapel, a nice little chapel at Paddington, it’s laid out very nicely and run by some nice people. We moved on to Roma Street Parklands for the formal location shoot, they were all very easy to work with and I got some gerat shots. We moved on to Indooroopilly Golf Club for a few more photos and the reception.

Over all it was a wonderful day, I really enjoyed taking their photos and meeting up with them :)

Anyway, here’s their slideshow, they asked me to put The Moment by Anthony Warlow as the backing track.. my hardest job so far was picking which photos to use in the slideshow, I ended up with over 100 photos just in the slideshow! It may take a minute or 2 to start, because it’s downloading all the photos and music first.

Thank you very much Mel & Josh for having me at your wedding, I really enjoyed myself and I’m really happy with the photos I got. It was great to finally meet you guys and I’m looking forward to doing a portrait shoot with you both later on this year! Hope you have a wonderful time on your honeymoon.. and I have to admit, I’m really jealous.. I wish I was going to the Maldives too.. *sigh*

Family and friends, feel free to leave comments here for Mel and Josh!

Hey All,

I had a fun family portrait session this afternoon with the Greensmith family (and the Cables, Williams and Browns), they had a portrait session 10 years ago and wanted to update their photos. The setting is actually their backyard, they live on acreage at Bridgeman Downs with some nice gardens and a pond that actually has water in it!

Anyway, here is the slideshow:

Thanks for inviting me for this special shoot.

Hey All,

It’s been a little while since I’ve posted anything up, mostly because I’ve been flat out busy! I’ve got some new landscape art prints available up on my redbubble account, please check them out and feel free to buy any of them that you like :)

I’ll be posting up some new prints real soon too, I’ve got some older stuff that I’ve been working on and some fresh new shots to put up.  We’re heading out to O’Reily’s Summit this Saturday, hoping to get some fresh waterfall shots and creek shots, we’ll see how we go, I might try and get a visit into somewhere else in Lamington National Park as well, depends on time.

This afternoon I’ve got a family portrait shoot, which should be nice, I’m hoping the weather clears up a little bit for the shoot. If not, it will be fun anyway.

Sunday I’m shooting a wedding for Mel and Josh, there should be some nice shots to be had, as usual the photo slideshow will be posted up here by early Monday morning.. no laptops to give me trouble this time.. haha.

A big announcement is that I’m going to be doing some work with the world famous Marcus Bell and Studio Impressions soon.. That’s a real vote of confidence, as he is Australia’s number 1 photographer, he was recently awarded Australian Wedding Photographer of the Year amongst a few other awards. The studio also has it’s fair share of awards under it’s collective belt! It’s a real privilege, I’m so looking forward to working with the industry’s best.

That doesn’t mean that I won’t still be doing my own work, if anything I will be aiming to do even more! The experience will be invaluable though!
