hello, nice to meet you.

We're illuminare photography + cinematography and this blog/website serves as our initial meeting ground, allowing you to get to know us and our work a little better.  While we have a portfolio section and frequently post blog highlights from our weddings and portrait shoots, we also keep the blog rolling with a bunch of various photos and videos that we do for ourselves when we're out just having a good time.  We feel that it's important to share this side of ourselves and allow you to see who we are, how we work, and what we think is cool. 

So sit back, relax and have fun browsing around!  And if you feel that we'd be a good match for you, we'd love to hear from you!

sailing sydney harbor

Our sailing cruise through Sydney Harbor was simply perfect.  Time slowed the second we stepped from the dock onto the boat.  With the wind picking up, we opened up some sail to carry us at a relaxing pace through the harbor.  Colin, owner of Harbour Days, took us out with another couple from Canada to...

taronga zoo

We just arrived in Sydney, and with the rest of the day to spare we took a ferry across the harbor to the Taronga Zoo.  After a short gondola ride to the top of the hill, we walked down through the zoo.  It was a very busy day with school starting up soon for kids,...

christchurch

We only had one evening in Christchurch, so when we arrived at our hotel, we grabbed the camera and took off to explore with the time we had.  After a short walk through town there was a great park that we hung out at for a while.  While there we ran across some ducklings practicing...
