Merry Christmas! http://acprophoto.com/blog/?p=420 http://acprophoto.com/blog/?p=420#comments Tue, 21 Dec 2010 06:00:07 +0000 allan http://acprophoto.com/blog/?p=420 It seems like just yesterday that last Christmas was in full swing and yet here we are again!

I would like to wish all of the brides and grooms I photographed this year (and those I am going to photograph next year) a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Many relatives will be pouring over amazing wedding photographs and I am glad I had the opportunity to produce them for you all.

Keep an eye out for some new and exciting wedding photography packages that I will be releasing in January 2011.  My new wedding packages will remain extremely competetive and will contain some great new ideas that brides and grooms have suggested/asked for over the past twelve months.  I want my packages to be exactly what you want in a wedding photography package and I want to provide the best value wedding photography in Victoria.  Great wedding photographs at amazing prices.

If you are looking for a wedding photographer around Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula or the Yarra Valley areas, please drop me a line.  I want to photograph your wedding and am willing to provide unbeatable value to do it!  Be amongst those that can brag about your wedding photography… and how much fun it was.

Merry Christmas!

]]> http://acprophoto.com/blog/?feed=rss2&p=420 0 Wedding season 2010/2011 is Go! http://acprophoto.com/blog/?p=399 http://acprophoto.com/blog/?p=399#comments Thu, 30 Sep 2010 06:59:53 +0000 allan http://acprophoto.com/blog/?p=399 Many people ask me in surprise, ”Is there a wedding season?”.  Yes there is, and it has just started. 

Generally speaking, winter is the quieter time of year (although not this year!) and things seem to get busy again around September.  It is little wonder why really, footy finishes and more importantly, the weather improves.

This is an especially exciting season coming up for me with our recent move to Wonga Park which makes Yarra Valley weddings easy.  I have photographed two weddings in the Yarra Valley over winter and look forward to photographing many more.  It really is a beautiful place. 

For anyone getting married on the Mornington Peninsula, I always look forward to returning to my home patch for weddings too.

This weekend is a busy one for me with two weddings to kick it off.  One has to feel for them, I bet they didn’t plan on sharing their weddings with the AFL Grand Final replay!

Bring it on I say.  I love wedding season! 

Regards,

Allan

I am now based in Wonga Park (about 10 minutes from Ringwood and Eastlink), within close proximity to the Yarra Valley.

I will still be photographing lots of weddings on the Mornington Peninsula and will continue doing so.  The advantage of where we are now is we can also service Yarra Valley weddings which is very exciting.

My wife and I are putting the finishing touches on our home studio and will be available for appointments very soon.

So, if you know anyone who is looking for amazing wedding photographs in the Yarra Valley region, please let them know of my services.  Between wedding photography in Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula and the Yarra Valley, 2011 is going to be a very busy year!

Regards,

Allan

Sorry for the inconvenience but I am now happy to say we are back up and running and able to accept emails again.  How did we do without email years ago?!?!

Now, I need to upload some more amazing wedding photographs to the blog…

My wife Kym and I tied the knot on her parents property in Wonga Park near the Yarra Valley.

The drizzle managed to hold off and the weather ended up being beautiful.  We had around 100 guests attend and going by the reports, they all had a great time.  Everyone partied on into the night and there were no doubt some sore heads on the Sunday morning.

It certainly is different being the groom as opposed to being the photographer but I enjoyed every second.

Oh, and like everyone says, THE WHOLE THING GOES TOO FAST!

3 more weddings booked and a few enquiries that sound like great weddings.  This year is shaping up to be even busier than last and it’s only mid January!

I keep harping on it but if you are thinking of enquiring or booking, get onto it fast!  Dates are getting snapped up quick and as I am the only photographer, once i’m booked i’m booked.

There are still lots of dates available but at this rate they could be gone fast!!!!

Oh, and don’t forget the January special on the half price Hi Res DVD upgrade!

Karen and Daniel recently got married at the Point Addis Flower Farm near Anglesea on the Great Ocean Road.  What a location!

They held the wedding and reception at the same venue.  I would have too given the view that unfolded in front of us!  We made use of the beautiful grounds (a real native Australian look) and even had some local kangaroos turn up on cue for some pics.  We then headed down to one of the beaches at Point Addis for some amazing beach shots.

Given that the holiday township of Anglesea is only 5 minutes away, I expected the beach to be packed because the township itself was and the weather was incredible.  To my surprise, the beach was empty!  We had it all to ourselves!

It was a great day and I am so glad I was the one Karen and Daniel chose to shoot their wedding.  They were great fun.

Here is one of those amazing beach shots…
