For the love of sugar

Sydney based Photographic Studio SUGARLOVE WEDDINGS work on some incredible weddings many of which appear on the pages & covers of  our Real Weddings magazine. With a background shooting celebrity portraits with some of the worlds most beautiful women it is not hard to see why clients continue to fly them all over the world to cover their big day.

In our June issue we featured one of their most extraordinary events which took place in Tuscany/Italy (featured below)

We love that the team at SugarLove are always finding creative ways to share their passion for incredible imagery whilst giving something back (especially at Christmas time). This year they have chosen to work on a campaign which sees 50% of all family portraits fees donated to www.charitywater.org Managing Director, Leigh Taylor says “Water is such a major part of our lives here in Australia especially in summer time. This was the perfect choice for our 2011 Christmas charity. It is a non-profit organization bringing clean & safe drinking water to people in developing nations. There is a clip on our blog that better explains what Charity Water does and who is lending their support.

Their Principal Photographer Bradley Patrick met American Actress, Kristen Bell this year at the Golden Globe Awards who narrates the documentary featured online www.charitywater.org

Oh… Jonas Peterson, you steal our hearts and take it to a far away place…!

Currently the Real Weddings office is hard at work on our Summer issue, due to hit the shelves in early December with a flip cover of Destination Weddings and Luxury Honeymoons.

Photobooth!

We have a confession to make… we love giggling over crazy photo booth pictures from weddings – especially when there’s fun costumes or props involved!

These images were all captured by CrazyBooth, a portable photo booth created by Sydney photographer Ben Adams. And the props come with it!
