...oooooh, very nice...

i was more than a littel determined to design and produce an engagemant book/guest book for our couples before the start of a very busy 2008/2009 wedding season...and with just a one week to go before blast off...i succeeded!

here are a few pages from our just for fun shoot with the ever smiling and loving Danny and Krystal...


this page has a place where you are able to write a bit of history about yourselves...'cause everyone loves the goss on how you met!

the books will also have a few pages for guests to sign in or leave best wishes...we have some samples on their way from the US to show everyone very soon!

we would love to hear what you think about the idea...especailly the couples booked in for pre-wedding portraits...

we are at margaret river this weekend for the wedding expo...come for a drive and say hello...we are right at the front door with a huge red flashing darleck type box next to us...yes, thats right, the official unveiling of the magix booth happens sunday 31st august...you wont want to miss it! will post pics as soon as we arrive back home...

happy sunday

:)

...can i have your autograph...

...the most amazing news...beautiful claire davies has been chosen as the 2008 Regional Child for Telethon...we are so happy for you gorgeous!! we just know the publicity, limelight, diva status and public adoration will be handled with the same acceptance, gratitude, humour and bravery that you already exhibit in bucket-loads!...

check out the Telethon site here ... and be sure to donate in october ... mike and i have seen absolute proof of how the donations are spent with the most advanced life-saving equipment in the special care nurseries in king edward ... they would not have this equipment without telethon ... it's as simple as that ...


...oh, and claire ... can mike please have a signed autograph?...

danny and krystal ~ just for fun

danny and krystal met with us on a bright sunny winters day for some fun portraits before their wedding in november...we found this this tall tree area and along with avoiding cow pats and hiding from farmers on tractors...we captured some awesome images...








then the afternoon sun shone some magical light through the trees and time for some "b" squats...

i have had my eye on this wall for some time..and although a little brighter than i expected..allowed for krystal and danny to work it very nicely thank you very much...

my fav and winning shot...i reckon...

lo and behold just around the corner...a corrugated door...

enough of this bright sun - dadgammit - and into an alley where these two lovebirds got close and personal...and where mike scared us all with his death-defying wall climbing to try for "the shot of the day"...

love this...

and this...

we called it a day and raced off for a sunday arvo latte to celebrate my win...:)

thanks danny and krystal...you two are so sweet and such naturals...we hope we assured you that we are a fun, happy and fiercely competitive kinda couple who will make you feel mighty at ease on your wedding day...

...under construction...

...whats red and black and fun inside?...

i called in to observe 'construction central" the other day, expecting big things...what i found was two fellows - JB and mike - (or tim and al...)with lots of frowns and perplexed looks and plenty of these tool type thingies all over the place...(proudly brought to you by binford tools)...


there was also boxes made from wood with writing stating (what appeared to me anyway) the bleeting obvious...



a variety of new and sparkly gadgets...

and i wasnt going to ask what the holes were for...

brace yourself for the frowns...tried to coax a smile from either...not happening jan...something to do with a "slot" that was "not aligned on the angle"...or something equally as facsinating...

then just as i was about to give up all hope on happiness...mike jumped into this square gap thing in this wood box thing and gave me a wink...sssuuuwweeett...

watch this space...the only thing missing will be pamela anderson in hot pants and a tool belt and wilson on the neighbours fence...

...happy birthday sweetheart...

beautiful claire - the oldest in our brady bunch - turns 17 tomorrow...an important milestone birthday as she has waved goodbye to school friends and hello to her first full time job...

17 years ago, she was a tiny squashed up "ranga" baby in her dads mighty young -but mighty loving - arms...




claire would be horrified and never speak to her wicked step-mother again if i posted just one more "original hair colour" images of her happy youth...so we fast forward to but a few years ago when reason was a word understood...



..."our daughters are our precious of treasures...



...the dearest possessions of our homes...


...and the objects of our most watchful love..."


..."daughter-woman-child-angel of the heart...you are the strength of the future...


...and the beauty of past memories...


...you are love and light and hope...


...you are life's sweetest gift...


...an unbelievable and precious miracle..."

..."it takes courage to grow up and turn out to be who you really are..."

we are so proud of you - the oldest of our brady bunch...

your smile lights up the room and warms our hearts...wishing you an amazing milestone birthday dear sweet claire...

...with all our love...your wicked step-mother and crazy dad..x
