Stellar Blog

where to start !!!! Its been a couple of weeks since I last blogged  . . . wedding season has started! I love it … but it means time management is being tested!

A lot of wonderful stuff has been happening here at Stellar and the first I want to share with you is that we won a silver merit award in the 2009 Kodak Gold Awards. These awards are an open competition among professional wedding and portrait photographers in New Zealand. The blurb that came with my award pack said ” these awards reward excellence in imaging and are therefore a great help in assisting customers to select a suitably qualified professional photographer who can offer them that creative difference when capturing their special moment forever.” A bit cheesy but it conveys the relevance of the competition.

:: oooh it gives me chills ::

Now this award is a biggy for me as I don’t do competitions, never have – not even piano grades.  So you can imagine that this was really putting myself out their – to be JUDGED!

So here it is …

:: Jenna & Micaiah + Stellar Photography = AWARD WINNERS ::

The photograph is of the gorgeous Jenna and Micaiah, taken on location at their Queenstown wedding in April this year. Thank J & M for being such a brilliant couple.

Here are the other three photographs entered but alas no cigar.

:: The stunning Maria who married Michael in June this year ::

:: HOT!!! Tasha & Nathan got married in Timaru in January ::

:: Too super cute! George & Lisa rocking it out ::

It wasn’t easy picking just four photographs to enter into the competition as I have many, many favs from all of the weddings we have had the incredible fortune to be involved with throughout 2009. I want to thank all our brides and grooms,their wedding parties and families so much for allowing us to capture the laughter, the tears, the excitement and the buzz – its been an awesome year!

Bring on 2010!!! It’s going to be a STELLAR!
