This is the wedding photography blog for Melbourne based photographer Brent Lukey.
Brent combines a documentary and editorial style capturing classic, natural moments without making the day feel like a photo shoot.
He will travel anywhere, but mostly gets about Melbourne, the Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula, and Geelong.
You can contact Brent on 0427 483 836 and look at more work at his web sites.
My office walls are plastered with still photos
and posters from many films, and they inspire me to create a wedding
photography look that mixes classic beauty with reality. I'm not a fairytale
wedding photographer.
Here's a short list of films that have influenced my work
- the locations and dresses in the musical 'Funny Face' (1957), the colour
and whimsy in the musical 'The Umbrellas of Cherbourg' (1964), Fellini's
black and white streets of 'La Dolce Vita' (1960), Wong Kar Wai's mixed light and
saturated colour of 'In the Mood for Love' (2000), the opulence and graphic
detail of Ozon's 'Angel' (2007), and there are many more.
Here's a recent example of such influence from
Woody Allen's 'Midnight in Paris'
(2011). A simple still shot in Paris, it's night
and our protagonists are walking by the river Seine
- that's romance. The photos following are similar scenes I've shot at weddings.
