Photographers from over 90 countries entered this years prestigious International Loupe Awards , so It felt great to take home 7 Awards! Last year I got a Loupe award for a heli wedding in Queenstown and i’m proud to say that I scored high with my weddings again, but this year I also won awards for my commercial work. Here are two of my favorites. The first commercial/fashion award is of local model Charlotte Gardiner with makeup by the very talented Gena Bagley. The Second shot “The running girl” was for a worldwide campaign for a client of ad agency Interbrand. Feels good to get recognition for all the hard work and big thanks to all my clients – weddings couples and corporates!

Mt Cook Wedding for 2 Photographers

Fredrik — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 22:45:39 +0000

Sydney Photographers, Christine and Daniel got married a while back in Mt Cook. I have to admit I was a bit nervous about shooting two wedding photographers, but it was a great day.

The ceremony was held outside at the bottom of the glacier. The weather was going between rain and sun so it was a last minute decision to get a helicopter up to the snow for location shots. We caught the last of the sun shine up there and before we headed down we got to see a massive rockfall from of the peaks opposite!

The rain came just as we landed but we managed to get a couple of shots in the tussocks on the way back to the reception at The Hermitage.

Trash The Dress photoshoot

Fredrik — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 02:34:57 +0000

I shot the beautiful wedding of Kamilla and Rodney a few days before in Queenstown and they decided it would be a waste not to get more use of the dress and the amazing nature around Wanaka.

We set out midmorning to do a couple of locations but spent the whole day having fun. It all ended it the lake and Kamilla braved the cold water for a swim in her wedding dress. If you want to see more images from the actual wedding day check this link out Queenstown Autumn Wedding

A Rainy Wanaka Wedding

Fredrik — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 01:20:41 +0000

It rained on Laura and Simon’s wedding but it was fine when it needed to be! The ceremony was held out at beautiful Glendhu Bay and the rain held off long enough until the formal shots, when a few umbrellas were needed. They used Aspiring helicopters with two choppers flying us up to a great location and we managed to get some nice misty shots before heading back down. On the way back to the reception at Oakridge resort we grabbed a few location shots by the lake. Back at Oakridge all the guest were enjoying canapes and drinks and instead of a cake Laura & Simon had opted for a Champagne Tower and I got some great shots to finish off the day.
