Winter Wedding Photos in Tasmania

I was offered as a wedding photographer from Fingal, the east of Tasmania. This was the second time to visit there because I did the another wedding job for this client's sister, too. Their parents and this sister loved my photos, so they decided to use me again.

It was in early July, and sooooo cold. But they set a big fire place, so everybody never felt cold. It was fine day and their wedding was so beautiful.

The ceremony started at 2:30pm, but I was a bit worried about couple photos because the sun went down so quickly in July in Tasmania. I had to finish all photos by 4:30pm!! I was rushed, but I could handle it.

The result was so good. I was very satisfied with them.

I am a very lucky person because Tasmania customers still give me a job sometime, especially for their wedding. This is a very good excuse for my visiting Tasmania to my wife. Ha ha ha...

So I spent more than 4 months totally in Tasmania this year. Fortunately my business partner in Launceston gave me a free room, and I use this room as my second working office/house. Between jobs, I could visit beautiful Tasmanian nature, such as forests, mountains, beaches, rivers and so on. It was very good for me because I still love to go there.

Unfortunately I can't show their photos which identify them this time. Sorry....

Wedding Photos at Hyatt Regency Sanctuary Cove, Gold Coast

I finished to edit their wedding photos and albums.

It took a bit time to do that because I have been busy with three other wedding jobs.

Their wadding was held at Hyatt Regency Sanctuary Cove on Gold Coast. They were an international couple, and the bride was so beautiful. In addition, the garden of the hotel was so photogenic, and I could enjoy to take their photos.

International wedding jobs between Australian and Japanese become my important part. 80% of my jobs is still from Australian locals, but a number of international wedding jobs like this is increasing now.

Probably because I can speak both English and Japanese, and also have plenty of experiences with Australian weddings. These international couples normally follow an Australian style at their wedding.

1500th Photo

I am selling my photos at iStockphoto.com.

The image of the right hand side is my 1500th stock which was accepted by the istock inspection team a few days ago.

I still remember my first photo couldn't pass over three times, and I really struggled with selling my photos there. Almost a half of my photos were always refused, and I realized their criteria was so strict. They gave me an idea of what the professional quality is, and I could get a professional eye.

I am selling my photos over three years, and my sales is now getting better and better. Now it becomes my important part of my photography business.

I really appreciate that they gave me a good opportunity to sell my images.

Here is my portfolio at iStockphoto.
