So after a few quiet weeks i'm finally getting everything (including myself back into full steam). Finally over whatever horrible cold my sister brought over with her from Europe (and kindly passed on to me), back at the gym sweating like a freak in order to get back some stamina and improve my back. Work this week is going beserk. In the space of 5 minutes i went from chasing jobs to fending them off. 3 Club gigs, Pokemon Model Shoot!, Fashion Catwalk shoot, and either another model shoot or a corporate golf day (depending who gets back to me first).

Last weekend I also photographed my cousins wedding. It was my first time shooting a full wedding and I was flying solo as I was providing it as a wedding gift. Despite a mild heart attack when my camera card decided it was going to crap itself mid ceremony, (good thing i could just flick a switch to use the other card) I managed to capture everything! The kiss, rings, bridal and groom prep as well as signing the marriage register and all speeches and first dance at the reception. Needless to say my back was ready to give out after 9+ hours of solid shooting.

I think i was the only sober one at the reception when I finally finished working. :P

Despite being exhausted, smelly and having my knees covered in mud I was so so happy with all the images. Such a beautiful day and the first time i have ever seen my cousin cry.

And thats me for now :)

Benji. Out.

1. Service all equipment thoroughly, 2. Have mulitple cameras (you wont have time to change lenses), 3. have back ups for everything. 4. Use a black rapid double camera harness. Its heavy but you become a one man wedding production.
