A Facebook friend of mine recently told me that he thought some of my images were on a Romanian photographers website. So I checked out the site and yes there were a few of my older wedding images there. It also looks like there are images from a bunch of Australian photographers just judging by the locations.

Ultimately I really don’t care that much, as they are images of mine from a few years ago, he is in Romania and my style has evolved in that time. But it is very deceitful to his potential clients and I think just plain rude. I did write to him a couple of weeks ago through his website and through his Facebook page, but obviously I haven’t heard from him. So I thought I’d do this post to warn other photographers.

So if you’re a photographer then check out his site to see if he has taken any of your images: versatilestudios.hitart.com

And if you want to find out who has stolen your photos, you can do a reverse image search through this website: http://www.tineye.com/

Here is the blurb from their website:

“The Alfred Nicholas Gardens is one of the most beautiful Gardens in the Mt Dandenong region near Melbourne and can provide the perfect photographic surroundings for your special day.

Alfred Nicholas Gardens is known for its extensive water features including waterfalls cascading down stone walls, set in a picturesque backdrop of towering mountain ash trees.

The gardens offer an ornamental lake with its own boathouse and two wooden foot bridges leading to two small islands, creating a very memorable setting.

During Autumn the garden provides us with a palette of rich and vibrant colour, while Spring creates another wonderland with flowering azaleas, cherry trees and viburnam.”

Ceremony: St John’s Uniting Church Wahroonga

Reception: Mona Vale Golf Club

Music: The Enormous Horns

Four months pregnant… although you really couldn’t tell. Melissa is the second bride this year who has fallen pregnant just before her wedding. Which is a great! I’ve been joking with Kim that I am like a fertility idol for my brides

We started the wedding day with the boys at Melissa and Campbell’s home before heading over to the girls at Melissa’s parents house. The wedding ceremony was held at St John’s Uniting Church in Wahroonga which is a gorgeous intimate church with some beautiful parklands just across the road from it. From there we went to Mona Vale beach for some photos and then off to Mona Vale Golf Club for the celebration.

Thanks for sharing your day with us guys. And a big congrats on your new addition to your family

Bridal Preparation: Sebel Manly Beach

Ceremony: Cardinal Cerretti Memorial Chapel in Manly

Cars: The London Cab Company

Reception: Pilu Restaurant at Freshwater

Alison & Andy were such a relaxed fun couple who recently got married in and around the Northern Beaches of Sydney. The day started off with the boys and their place in Freshwater where Andy and his groomsmen were getting ready. Then it was off to the girls who were staying at the Sebel Hotel at Manly Beach for the Bridal preparations. They had the wedding ceremony at the always amazing Cardinal Cerretti Memorial Chapel in Manly. Andy is from London, and I love the little touch of London that they brought with them… check out the cars  After the ceremony we headed off the Freshwater Beach for some photos, which was also where the reception was being held.

Alison & Andy, congratulations guys and thanks for sharing your wonderful wedding day with us. It was a beautiful, fun day and we enjoyed every minute. Look forward to catching up with you when you get back from your Honeymoon

Ceremony: Sergeants Mess

Reception: Sergeants Mess

Band: Slide McBride

We had a wonderful day recently with Elyssa and David shooting their wedding day. As usual, we started off with the boys for their preparation shots, at David’s parents place, which was a beautiful old house built at the turn of the century. Then it was off to the girls who were getting ready in a beautiful harbour view room in the Intercontinental Hotel Sydney. They had planned to have the ceremony outside on the lawns of Sergeants Mess, but unfortunately Sydney’s weather wasn’t the best and it was forced inside. Luckily there is room on the veranda of Sergeants Mess for the ceremony to take place. And shortly after the ceremony the reception began at Sergeants Mess.

I’ve never actually shot a wedding at Sergeants Mess before, but it is a really cool modern reception venue. With some wonderful places for some romantic wedding photography. And was really easy to grab Elyssa & David throughout the night and get some really cool shots around the venue.

I was also able to catch up with some old friends who were at the wedding… Elise & Rick. We shot their wedding last year, just up the road from Sergeants Mess, at the Tea Room Gunners Barracks.
