2011| Our favourite images & a big “Thank you!”

{31st December 2011}

2011 has been a year of massive changes, development and growth of friendships. Our biggest change was our re-brand and website in June, that the amazing Melissa Love after working with us to discover our true characters. Thanks Melissa! One of the other changes was instigated on the first day of the year when we announced that we’d undertake a 365 photography project. We’re truly happy to confirm that we did it! Man, it was as much fun as it was a challenge. Especially for me (Funmi), as I took the majority of the images as it meant no more “traveling light” & plenty of impressions of a bag lady. For Adrian, it was a 365 for editing images and so has meant that that he’s developed those skills immensely. It is a testament to the patience & love that we have for each other and I’m not even exaggerating haha!

Due to the changes to our website, blog and branding, they were all out of service for a short time so we decided to do more 2nd shooting for other photographers. Whilst we assisted our photographer friends, we learnt from them and are very grateful for this. We enjoyed it so much that we’ve agreed to more 2nd shooting in 2012.

We collaborated with so many Wedding vendors that all thanks and credit are within separate blogs that will listed later in this one. Thank you so much to our Wedding industry friends, it has been such a pleasure to work with and for you.

Thanks to our lovely Clients and to Suppliers with whom we worked, we are truly grateful. Thanks for your continued interest, support and trust mwah!

We look to 2012 with hearts full of hope, continued gratitude & love of our family, friends & all things photographic.

Here are a few of our favourite images from 2011.

In June, Funmi arranged a surprise 2nd wedding anniversary shoot swap with Elizabeth from Bridal Musings, Anneli & Wayne Marinovich; a surprise because Adrian had no idea that he’d be photographed by Anneli & Wayne. Elizabeth featured the full story so you can see the photographs of Adrian & I.
