Hunter Valley Wedding Photography and Newcastle Wedding Photography
I love Wedding Photography - but it can be a big day - and the preparation prior to the day is always worth it. The meetings, the emails, the vision boards - it all comes together with how you'd like to day to go ahead. From my own Wedding day, I recommend: A singular bridesmaid that is a Type-A person, and the rest who will fall into line and can follow up on direction. An excellent Husband who organises and plans everything for you. Working with Vendors who have worked toge

Maternity
I was very blessed to be asked to do Amy's Maternity Photoshoot - it was my first time, and I had a wonderful time. I was also lucky, that Amy knew what outfit she'd be wearing for the day, it had the perfect mix of Bridal / Maternity - showing off the bump. I believe she did her makeup herself, and it just looks so incredible. The less editing I have to do for a photoshoot, the quicker I can turn the images around. Amy's pregnancy caused a bit of a redness on her leg, so I u

Wildlife
I love pretty birds - these images below are of Rainbow Lorikeet. At a friend's house, I was able to take - literally hundreds - of photos of these beautiful birds. I had a telephoto lense, so that is why the background was naturally blurred within the image. Beautiful birds, beautiful landscape, and a wonderful morning. The blurring features is also because I used a central focus point in the camera, to focus on the bird, rather than the whole scene. Happy little guys having

Branding Photoshoot
Branding shoots are important to elevate your profile within professional networks. If you are in the Professional Services industy, people will look to your photos, logo, branding and marketing to determine if you are worth the price that you have quoted. Professional photos literally allow you to charge more. Look more elevated. Looking more professional opens the door for more opportunities as well. My personal opinion is that having a Branding Photoshoot takes time, and t

Food
Taking beautiful photos of food is a joy - because food doesn't blink. And can be styled. And re-arranged. And lighting can be re-arranged and suited to the food. And food doesn't really get tired either. Just sits. Depth, contrast, brightness - all different elemets that can be edited properly in Adobe Lightroom Classic. It's a joy to take the time and work with such wonderful food! I'd love to assist you with food photography! Katelyn contact@voyagetodayphotography.com.au

Family Photography
I love family photoshoots, and capturing wholesome and fun and energetic moments. I love that they're unpredictable and joyous and capturing wholesome moments to keep forever. Ashlie won a photoshoot competition, and that's why we went to Jimmy's beach, with her partner and her child. We had lots of fun - so much that I could capture 800 images in one hour, then culled down to 400. If there's something I'm going to do well, it's deliver more images than anyone else. What's th

Event Photography
There are generally two things to worry about when it comes to Event Photography. Shot list + Run Sheet That's it. You'll have location, contact details, and some vendors will require a copy of your insurance, but for the run of the day - Shot list and Run Sheet. The images below were photographed at NEX in Newcastle, for the Slash New Tech Conference, and Hunter Breast Cancer Foundation, at Rydges Hunter Valley. For the /NEW Conference, it was a smooth day because the direct

Dog Photography tips
Getting professional photos for your loved ones, is almost a no brainer. Especially with your four legged friends. Getting photos with them just as themselves, or as a part of your family photos as well - definitely worth it. My personal opinion, they don't live as long as humans, and should be spoiled at every moment possible. Then the memories of their beautiful lives is what we have to hold on to. There are a few things to note when doing the photoshoot, or taking your dog
