Port Adelaide | Adelaide Portrait Photographer | The Murfitts

We had a spectacular day at Port Adelaide photographing the Murfitt family.  Their daughter was about to head off over seas for an exchange program & to mark this huge event we decided to go for an Urban feel to their family portrait session by heading to Port Adelaide and capturing the essences of the alleys & harbour.

There's nothing like a fabulous family session!  I LOVE running around after little ones, turning teens into models & bringing the romance back to a couple.

Port Willunga Beach - Adelaide Portrait Photographer - Corrynn Jones Photography - Mini-Sessions January 2011

Gorgeous Miss E on our 1800's bed 

The Beautiful S Family

With the HUGE success of our December Mini Sessions being booked out we followed up our demand with another round down at Port Willunga Beach.  This time the promise of the 1800's bed being there if we filled the session, ensured that they were all snapped up immediately.

We framed the R Family

What fantastic & beautiful clients we had!!!  Beautiful children, couples & gorgeous families.

It was a glorious summery day and the beach was full of interest when we arrived with our trolley full of frames & props, our vintage chair & of course the bed!  Many people couldn't help but satisfy their curiosity with questions of "What are you doing?" "Is this a wedding or a party?" and of course "What is the bed for??"  We had an awesome night for creating beautiful memories for all involved & the sunset...to die for!

I love watching kids soar

Don't forget to keep an eye out for more CJP Mini-Sessions later in the year & register your interest to keep you in the loop.  We will be doing more & going to some AMAZING locations so stay tuned!!!

P&B had a really fun vintage feel to their session

Moana Beach - Adelaide Maternity & Newborn Photographer - Corrynn Jones Photography - When 2 becomes 3 - Little N on the inside

I had the best time with E & A at their maternity session - A's step mum organised the session for them as she really wanted them to have something special to remember this time in their lives & I am so privileged to have been chosen for it. 

Young, vibrant, hilarious & so in love - I had a ball watching these guys & we had some great locations to use too.  They had a gorgeous tree swing in the back yard guarded by the most unusual 'Tree man' I've seen, but he provided us with lots of giggles!  A gorgeous park bench as well as the beach.

We also had some fun with props such as their pet snake.....yep! You read right! - my first maternity session with a snake - given she's only a baby carpet python I was mesmerised & a little grossed out by her but I couldn't resist including her in the session too!  This proved harder than I thought although I managed to get a couple of shots in before it was time for cranky snakey to go back in her enclosure.

After that we headed down to the beach & got some magical shots there due to the wind being just perfect.....perfectly cold & stingy enough to leave us all with tears in our eyes but absolutely FABULOUS images!

Soon it is time for little N to join us in the outside, but I until then - I loved every minute of capturing him on the inside!

Port Willunga Beach | Adelaide Wedding Photographer | Corrynn Jones Photography - Timing and the elements

So, you've planned the perfect day, you know when everything's arriving and taking place right down to the last minute.  But have you though about your timing and the elements?

The weather can have a big impact on your day, especially your photos.  If it's sunny and bright you can have beautiful clear blue skies and gorgeous bright colours. Clouds on the other hand give you moody, intense and stormy shots. Add a little (or a lot) of wind in your hair or veil for a touch of flair and unpredictability.  Rain brings out the cuddles under umbrellas, running for cover, splashing in puddles and dancing in the rain.  Yes, the weather is unpredictable but a good photographer can make the best planned day hit by rain and clouds into spectacular photographic art for you to remember forever.

You can't plan the weather especially a year in advance!  But you can plan the TIME of your wedding.  Timing is everything!  In Adelaide we experience daylight savings times so we get to experience a vast range of lighting in the dame time slot at different times of the year.  So that's when you need to think about the kind of photographs you like.  Do you want to have a brightly lit sky for a morning/midday wedding (or afternoon daylight savings) or do you want the colours and magesty of a sunrise or sunset?  Do you want both?  Are you a fan of silhouette photos, high key images or do you like a bit of lens flare?    One thing for certain is that you don't want to be standing around in the dark because the sunset earlier than you thought or getting married in the carpark next to the beach because the tide is high.

Planning your wedding is planning the biggest party of your life, and your party is going to be great no matter what time you have it.  But your photos are the memories you will have of your day to keep for the rest of your life, so think about the elements, the lighting, the colours and plan your day around the images you want to capture and the mood and memories you want to create on that day.  You'll still enjoy the biggest party of your life, but the setting, memories and images will be forever breathtaking.

Thalassa Park | Port Noarlunga Beach | Adelaide Wedding Photographer | Corrynn Jones Photography | Mr & Mrs B

When these two lovebirds met through their church even being on opposite ends of the country couldn't keep them apart! 16th Jan 2010 marked the beginning of W and C's marriage and what a beginning it was! A sunny, beautiful and emotional day.  Sick bridesmaids and family couldn't dampen the excitement, love and laughter at the bride's house.  The boys had a ball with my 2nd photographer for the day - Cara. The ceremony felt like there was no one else on the planet except for our beautifully in love bride and groom.  We had a lot of laughs during the family & bridal party photo session, tears were flowing during the reception & the romance that oozed in our Post-Reception Couples Session was just magic!   I had a great day and am so priveleged to offer Weddings as part of the CJP service.

Here's some of my favourites from the day.
