A change is in the air | Melbourne Photographer

16 September, 2009 – 6:28 pm

Yep, it’s a brand new look! The Kristen Cook brand  is growing up! (well, not completely… I’m still a child at heart!)

In honour of new beginnings with this little baby, I’ve now gone through a rebranding process for the business as well with my beautiful new kc logo to start things off.  Things are a bit busy behind the scenes for obvious reasons, so I thought now might be a nice time to introduce you to the change so it can sink in while I have a break ;)

My signature green and pink will still be playing a big part, and I’m having a bit of fun with the new concept, so be prepared to see it splashed around a lot. For all of you who played the guessing game over the last few weeks as to what the change was that was coming (and honestly, I was in stitches over some of your responses and emails!!), hope you’re not too disappointed! A change is as good as a holiday, right?? (and don’t I need one right about now…)

I am also excited to announce that I also have a dedicated weddings website up and running now as well (there you go Bronnie… finally!). To learn more about my approach to photographing weddings, you can visit the dedicated Kristen Cook | Weddings website here.

Lynn + James | Wedding photography, Melbourne

6 May, 2009 – 1:35 pm

When Lynn first contacted me about wedding photography for her wedding in May, I was ecstatic. We actually went to school together and it’s been over 10 years since we last saw one another. Obviously lots has changed in our lives since we left school, but she’s still her same gorgeous self that I remember.

When I met up with James and Lynn a little while ago on a short trip to Melbourne (they live interstate) we chatted about how they met, their beautiful relationship, and one humdinger of an engagement story – complete with a choir serenading Lynn as James proposed. Seriously… talk about ROMANCE! I was so excited for these two in the lead up to the big day, and it certainly did not disappoint. I was in wedding photographer heaven. They were married at the beautiful Newman College Chapel at the University of Melbourne, and we stayed on there to have some photos as well.

Lynn looked amazing on her wedding day – the strapless fishtail gown she chose suited her perfectly, and James looked very dapper in his pinstripe suit. The bridemaids were in classic cocktail style black dresses with white sashes, and the whole thing screamed classic elegance.

The gorgeous Julie Dammery from Beautique Creative did Lynn’s hair and makeup (and did an amazing job at that):

The handsome groom, completely unaware of how long he actually had to get ready for the ceremony, or how he was going to get there (and they say the bride is normally late…!!)

We got him there in the end, and good thing too because the ceremony was divine. We had a beautiful time after the ceremony also -

Um, did I say Lynn looked gorgeous??! Trust me, she suited being a bride!

Just a couple from the reception too which was at the Point in Albert Park (yummo!). Lynn and James had made up table numbers with a picture of each of them when they were little. SO adorable and definitely a talking point for the guests!

{Lynn and James, thank you again for having me capture these beautiful memories for you. Congratulations again on your beautiful wedding day and have fun on the honeymoon!!}

Kate + Travis | Melbourne wedding photographer

30 March, 2009 – 2:22 pm

I was so lucky that on the day of my own 5 year wedding anniversary, I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Kate and Travis’ wedding day. From the buzz and excitement of the pre-ceremony preparations right through to the gorgeous candlelit reception, the whole day went beautifully. Even the weather turned it right on and gave us the most spectacular conditions for them.

We were so lucky to photograph them in one of the most beautiful locations in Melbourne, being Montsalvat. Kate and Travis combined this as their ceremony/location/reception wedding venue which meant that the guests could enjoy the beautiful surrounds all afternoon.

All of the details were gorgeous from this wedding – loved it to bits!

Be warned… heaps of wedding photography sneak peeks in this post. I have far too many favourites that even limited myself to these was hard enough!

{Travis and Kate – it was an absolute pleasure and an honour to be there to witness and capture this beautiful memory for you. Congratulations to the both of you, and thank you for having me be a part of it}
