Lakehouse

So the cold here in Melbourne has really set in. Winter days remind me to be thankful that I have a car to drive to my office desk job in! I love mugs of tea and falling asleep to the sound of rain on the roof.

Last weekend BFF and I celebrated our two year anniversary (cannot believe how quickly time has gone by & how much we have done in 24 months!). BFF organised a wonderful surprise day trip to lovely Daylesford, Victoria.

It was such a delight to get away from the city for a change and unwind with some fresh air. I was completely spoilt with a relaxing massage and a scrumptious meal at the Lakehouse. Funny that! Food once again featuring on a blog post! 

Was really the perfect way to celebrate :)

Rabbit dish. Gorgeous presentation and such cute little copper pots!

We didnt' really venture all that far after filling up on a hearty meal. Some shots from exploring the near by lake. It was pretty cold I have to say but beautiful :)

Black and white shot of the lake. Still water = reflections of interesting things (love!)

I love shooting straight up at the sky. Contrast tree with leaves vs. bare branches against a blue sky.

i hrt weddings!

Lights + Camera + Action : shot of a stage at a recent wedding

So once again been really slack with the blog! Highlight of May 2012 thus far was attending a wedding back in Adelaide. Took my sister as my date for the evening and it was honestly such a lovely evening catching up with some old friends which I haven't had the chance to for years now (since moving away from Adelaide).

Not sure what mode I took this photo in on the Leica. I think it was set to monochromatic (but I can't remember/bothered checking). Love the soft fabrics in the background makes it all very romantic. Strong contrast with the silhouettes created by the lighting tripods and chairs.

Wedding was beautiful and so happy. Bride and groom both looked beautiful as you would expect. I love weddings because everyone is always in such a good mood and I love the fact that it's an entire event built around celebrating love. Not just romantic love but love in form of family and friends who have been unwavering supporters of the bride and groom as individuals well before they event met each other in most cases.

Hopeless romantic, that I am but I honestly love celebrating such a beautiful thing :)

Anyways so had a great time at the wedding and catching up with family in Adelaide. Not sure what to now that the colder weather has set in here in Melbourne. I am making full use of the heater and already have been sick. Though I suspect that's from being on a plane and inhaling disgusting germy air for an hour and a half on the return trip.

Nonetheless trying to keep motivated at work and getting my fitness up with a weekly dose of bootcamp to shock the system and remind my lazy side who's boss! LOL

Woohoo! Love this shot with all that's happening around the bride & groom. Very Raw show somehow.

Everybody loves a photographer right?! Check out the dude on stage (lol) love it!

Out of focus love: gorgeous photo of my sister. Love the colours in the background, her sweet smile and the blurred photographer's silhouette on stage.
