Evan and Holly’s Dad’s Blog

Hi and welcome to my blog. Filled with images from my recent weddings, engagement shoots, portrait sessions and corporate work. Most importantly its a window into my world...a world where family takes an upper hand and I have the images to prove it. Hopefully you'll take a few minutes to browse and once addicted set the blog as a bookmark. If you have any comments please feel free to add them or just get in touch.

For The Record: The images that I put on the blog from recent weddings may not always be the best or even ones you might expect. They are things that I saw, that I like that I want to share. Sometimes they are part of a quirky story or show a tender or ironic side to a wedding.

Ode to Darren

By Rob

Most weddings I make sure that I post a few images from my trusty sidekick and all around good guy, Darren.  Unfortunately I was really up against it on Monday and with his files in various places on different computers it wasn’t possible.  So instead, I wanted to post a few more images from Sarah and Jonathan’s wedding which were all taken by ‘The Boy Wonder’.

Sarah and Jonathan — Shot by Darren (aka The Big D and Boy Wonder)

I told him to shoot this…then he said “I already did”

Clearly he hates shoes as well

Ickle moments

This was one of 4 or 5 included in the On the Day presentation

Ahh…I see myself a few years ago in that shot

Gettin’ brave and shootin’ at 1.8….I like it!

019 126 Ode to Darren
I love this…its so random yet meaningful

When I first saw it I said, “but dude, you’ve blown it out” to which he said “I was going for their faces”.  OK, I’ll shut up now.

So…I’m in processing the On the Day and Darren says “should I got out to rest of the receiving line”.  My first thought was “this should be interesting”.  But clearly his story that he looks at the blog every week rang true.  I shed a small tear :)

Magic, Magic, Magic!  For this you’ve earned an extra can of V next time out!

See…he’s got the ‘eyes’ thing going

This is far better than anything I got during SJ’s mum’s speech

019 134 Ode to Darren
Its all about timing…did you buy a watch?

019 135 Ode to Darren
Nice one D

2 great shots from the first dance

When Darren first started coming out with me (November last year)…there was a certain randomness to what he took.  I wouldn’t say I’m the best mentor.  I pick him up, we shoot, he carries, I drop him off and his only bit of tutoring comes in a) my blog and b) a few choice one line nuggets of info.  But each week there’s something better, something more insightful in his images.  Thanks again BW!
