Wedding: A+M <3 (Mt Coot-tha)

Lovely Annabelle & Malcolm.

This day was simple, scaled-back, and all about their sweet bond, as well as those close to A+M.

It was a beautiful day - a blue-sky day sandwiched between some very rainy weeks.

A+M were married on Lover’s Jetty - an ideal spot if you are after a lush, green backdrop.

We usually arrive reasonably early to weddings and spend a few minutes (at least) capturing the surroundings. Well, this was a breeze at a park as stunning as Mt Coot-tha Botanical Gardens. You will find some of the resulting images below.

Such an elegant day lent itself to grayscale. We provided many images in colour to A+M; many of our favourites were in grayscale (as seen below).

We want to wish A+M a lifetime of all of the good things in life. Thank you for trusting us to capture such an important day in your lives. <3

A few more for good measure :)

If you have experienced our photography at a wedding, you know the technique Pete uses to elicit these kinds of natural interactions (= natural smiles, too).

Annabelle has the most beautiful relationship with her mum; it was a delight to capture.

Annabelle’s beautiful bouquet - all about the textures.

Herzog Not Welcome Protest

Zionism is an ideology.

Not a religion.
Not a culture.
Not an ethnicity.

An ideology that permits and defends a supremacist state.

I would never condone anti-Semitism.

'Semitism' refers to the cultural, ethnic, and linguistic traits associated with Semitic-speaking peoples - communities historically connected through languages, such as Hebrew, Arabic, and Aramaic, across North Africa and West Asia (often called the 'Middle East', a colonial term).

Anti-Semitism is real, dangerous, and must be opposed.

Zionism, however, is an ideology, as stated above. A dangerous ideology.

It is a strange time to be in Queensland, where legislation in the near future may effectively enshrine the conflation of anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism: a move that feels less about protecting people and more about protecting power.

Conflating criticism of an ideology with hatred of a people does not fight anti-Semitism.

In fact, I would argue that conflating the two may be one of the most anti-Semitic things you can do.

Meanjin Protest for Palestine (+ Any Country Impacted by Genocide)

Finally, veni, vidi, vici. The police came with their horses, saw the protests, and … ?conquered? A moment for the exploitation of animals, such as horses, by humans as a means of oppressing their own kind.

Wedding: P+S <3 (Balmoral)

Lovely Phoenix & Simon held an elopement with just a handful of family - including Winston who was a very good boy (guests with four paws are always our favourite kind of guest). It was a lovely moment for all involved as Phoenix & Simon welcomed the next chapter of their lives.

We promise 50-75 images per hour; here is an example of one hour of coverage. Enjoy these 50 images.

We want to wish Phoenix & Simon all the very best for whatever adventures are ahead! The best part is that they will have each other to share them with. <3
