News & Updates

August 26th, 2009 at 2:58 pm

Hey All,

I’ve had such an awesome response to Michael & Tash’s wedding photos, I’m so glad that everyone loves them.. most of all Michael & Tash themselves :-)

Bec and I are off to Sydney tomorrow, we’re going there for 2 days to visit some friends and then we’re off to Brisbane for another wedding this weekend, I’ll be sure to post up some photos and the slideshow as soon as I can! I bought a new camera yesterday, so I’m looking forward to trying it out at this wedding.

For those who mentioned that there are no photos on the actual website of my website.. it’s because my website got hacked and they deleted the photos for some reason.. I’ll be working on getting at least a couple of photos up by the end of tonight so that the website doesn’t look so bare!

In the meantime, please feel free to have a look at some of my fine art prints and landscape photography over at my other website: http://paulmp.com.au and you can buy prints from http://www.redbubble.com/people/paulmp/art if you find something you really like. Bec and I have a few up around our house, they look great.. but I could be slightly biased.. haha.

Here are the shots we have up on our wall:

More updates to come shortly!

Tash & Michael’s wedding

August 23rd, 2009 at 10:58 pm

Hey all,

Well Bec and I headed up to Geraldton on the weekend, we drove up there on friday, it’s roughly 4.5 hours drive north from Perth. Saturday afternoon we had a wedding to photograph, it was an awesome day, I was nervous in the morning as it was completely overcast and threatening to rain, it cleared up mostly by the 2pm wedding ceremony and by the time we were ready for our location shoot, it was absolutely perfect.

Anyway, we spent sunday with Bec’s family and then drove home via the wildflower fields and canola fields and just arrived home about an hour ago! I’ll be working on the slideshow for Tash & Michael tomorrow, but I just *had* to put up 2 of my favorite shots straight away! Check them out and be looking for the slideshow tomorrow night:

Dan & Myla’s Wedding Slideshow

August 12th, 2009 at 6:56 pm

Hey All,

I had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful wedding on Friday 7th August at Salt, Kingscliff, NSW. The wedding was at the Mantra resort, an absolutely beautiful location. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect for the day,  a nice sunny day with enough breeze to keep it fresh. The day started off nice and early with the girls getting ready, we moved on to a lovely garden ceremony then photos on the beach. The reception was great, a fully catered seafood buffet prepared by the great staff at the Mantra at Salt. We finalised the day with some sunset photos on the beach, over all it was a great day.

Here is the slideshow from Dan & Myla’s wedding:

Thanks for having Bec and I be part of your special day, wish you guys all the best!

Updates and Travels

July 30th, 2009 at 12:04 pm

Hey All,

Well as you can see, I’ve done some major updates to the website, it’s still very much a work in progress at the moment, lots more photos and content to be added still, working on a new photo gallery as well. Unfortunately I’ve been to busy to dedicate any serious amounts of time to the website, so it’s still just a bit of a shell of a site.

Bec and I have quite a few trips coming up over the next few months, some for weddings, others for landscape opportunities and relaxation. A quick break down of our trips coming up:

August 6-10th: We fly from Perth to Brisbane where we will drive down to Salt Village, near Kingscliff, New South Wales. I am shooting Dan and Myla’s wedding photos there on the 7th, really looking forward to this trip as Bec and I have stayed at the Mantra at Salt a few times and have really enjoyed it there.

August 21st – 23rd: We drive from Perth to Geraldton (about 430kms) . I’m shooting a wedding in Geraldton on the 22nd, should be a great day, I’ve only visited Geraldton twice before, but Bec’s family lives there, so we’re looking forward to doing some catching up with them!

August 28th – 2nd September: We fly to Brisbane again for a wedding in Strathpine, good friends Ash & Tristan are getting married and asked me to do the photography for them! It will be good to catch up with some friends from Brisbane again.

In the middle of all that it is pretty likely that I will be traveling to Melbourne for a couple of days as well, hoping to get time to go to the Otways again, to do some more waterfall and creek shots and maybe try and get something unique at the 12 Apostles.. a very big ask as everyone has photos of the 12 Apostles. There is the possibility of a quick weekend in Adelaide to visit some of my family as well.. so a *very* busy month, I’ll be clocking up the frequent flyer points for sure!

I’ll be keeping the blog updated with my whereabouts and photos from each trip. The wedding slideshows will go up on this blog as they become available too, I have to try and buy a new laptop before I go so that I can do some editing on the go!

More updates soon!

Regards

Paul

I photographed a great wedding in the Adelaide hills in a place called Woodhouse. It’s not far from Stirling and Mt Lofty. It was a beautiful setting and a great day inspite of the rain.

Here is the slideshow from the day:

Thank you very much for having me photograph your special day Joshua & Naomi!

In other news, I’ve got a few trips planned over the coming months, this weekend we’re heading to Dunesborough.. it’s near Busselton, Western Australia. Next weekend I’m in Adelaide, South Australia. I’m planning a trip away for a weekend in July, but I haven’t decided where yet. In August I have 2 trips to Brisbane and a trip to Geraldton planned already, with various other trips around the place in between.

Then in December, Bec and I are planning to go to Phuket for our wedding anniversary.. I’m hoping to take lots of awesome diving / snorkeling photos and some landscape photos of the amazing islands around Thailand!

Website Upgrade.. I’ve got a new wordpress theme nearly completed in Photoshop, it will be getting coded up in the next couple of days and the website should look a whole heap better with in the next week.. adding to the site will be an online shopping cart system so that you can buy cards, prints, framed prints etc all directly from my landscape photography website!
