On Friday 20th of August we covered a great event, The Willie Creek Pearls Power Lunch at Mosmans Restaurant a lovely location for a lunch, dinner or special event!

The lunch was organised by the lovely crew at Networking WA for the charity Love Angels, they teach children the values of philanthropy, humanity, compassion and kindness in the children of today for tomorrow. Measurably improving the lives of orphans in 3rd world countries. The lunch raised some considerable funds through the entrance fee plus several auctions with items donated from many sponsors.. including us and also I donated one of my fine art landscape photography prints in the silent auction.

The main feature of the day was some of Perth’s prominent women modeling some of Willie Creeks choicest pearls and this season’s most stylish fashion by Daisy and Charlie Boutique. The models included Patti Chong (Lawyer), Ros Worthington (founder of Love Angels), Bree Madox (owner of The Court Hotel), Caty Price (Presenter for channel Ten’s The Western Front), Kymba Cahill (Presenter Mix 94.5 The Big Couch), Susan Fuhrman (West Coast Fever netball team, defender for Australian Netball Team) and Alison Braun (Former The Biggest Loser contestant).

Overall the lunch was an incredible success and a great day out, it was great to meet many like minded people wanting to make a difference.

The photographs entered must be of a landscape but can include urban, cityscapes or landscapes with people. No portraits or weddings please, Yikes!!

The winners will be judged by some of Australias best photographers, including Peter Eastway, Tom Putt, David Evans and Nick Rains. The prizes are awesome and I will talk more about them and all the competition details in the coming week.

So now start thinking about what you have that might win this competition. Why is it called the “Landscape 500??, that is the number of entries that are allowed. Most competitions attract thousands of entries, this one is different, it is a limited edition you could say. Each person will be able to upload 3 images per entry but you will be able to enter as many as you like, each entry of three images comes off the 500 allowable. So do the stats, 500 possible entries, 4 prizes, your chances of taking something away are pretty good.

First prize is a trip for two on True North! If you don’t know what True North is.. head to their website for sure: http://northstarcruises.com.au/

Unfortunately I can’t enter as I’m a professional.. but you guys can enter so good luck! I’ll pass on the details for entering once I find out

Blaque Studios was approached to cover another networking event put on by the people at Networking WA, the title of the evening was Quirky Corporate, it was held at the wonderful Foodstore on Hay Street, West Perth.  It was a great night, I got some photos of the event and then went about mingling with the crowd and meeting some new faces from around Perth.

It was great to meet so many people and put some faces and real names to some twitter handles! I’ve included a few photos from the night here:

Thanks for having me be part of the event!

Well we had a very busy April and May, several weddings and portrait sessions, a trip to Brisbane for a wedding and then a trip to Phuket for another wedding! We launched our YouTube channel (http://youtube.com/blaquestudios) and saw over 2000 views happen on Beau & Emily’s phuket wedding video! We looked at a few different buildings that would be suitable for our studio. Moving into June, things slow down a little as the weather gets colder and wetter here in Perth.

Over the coming weeks we’re covering several events around Perth as well as quite a few portrait sessions that are booked in, we’ll be working on some new marketing efforts and getting our new flyers and brochures printed as well as our new gift vouchers!

We’re booked in tonight to cover a great even by the group at Networking WA at the awesome Foodstore on Hay Street! I’ll have photos of the event up in the next couple of days, be sure to check them out .

If you are looking for a wedding photographer for your Perth based wedding, please get in contact with us, we’ll be sure to look after you!

Over the weekend we shot an amazing wedding in Rockingham.. about an hour south of Perth, Western Australia. The day started off bright and early at L’Amour Hair Design in Rockingham where the very nervous bride and her bridesmaids were getting their hair and makeup done. From there we headed over to Ernesto’s parents place and got some photos with an equally nervous groom and his groomsmen waiting. The ceremony was held at the very scenic Munja Gardens in a lovely little chapel, after the ceremony we took family photos and then some photos with the now not so nervous bride & groom.

The bridal party were loaded into a very nice Cadillac Limo from Classic Chrome & Curves and taken down to the Rockingham foreshore for some more photos along the beach, the weather was absolutely perfect for photos! Then it was on to the final destination of Amberley Gardens for some more photos and a lovely reception!

Here are a few photos from the day! The wedding video will be up shortly!

Thank you for having us be part of your special day!

A huge thank you goes out to Beau & Emily and their family for having us part of their intimate wedding!
