About Me

Hi! Welcome to my new blog. You'll find images here from my latest wedding and portrait shoots as well as other random happenings. Use the new menu bar to navigate around... For those of you who haven't just travelled through my website to get here, here is the link: www.sineadjenkins.com. I'm also on Facebook.

November 14, 2011 // Engagements
Sarah and James got married on Saturday and played this video at their wedding reception. Traditionally at Malaysian weddings the guests watch a slideshow of engagement images that typically involve flowers and sunsets. James and Sarah aren't the flowery sunset type.

Sarah saw this zombie idea online and came to me with it. I was like, Are You Serious???!!!??

She was. We had SO much fun making this....


 




Thank you SO much to Andy for zombying for us (what an amazing guy - he totally volunteered his services for this), to Liz the bridesmaid for doing the VERY effective makeup and to both Liz and Emma for showing up the day after the Hens night and being really patient with me. Also thanks to the people in the Botanic Gardens who politely avoided us.

Would love to know what you think!!

Hi Sinead, That's absolutely brilliant. What a game couple. Well done them and well done you. You must now be the 'go-to' photographer for all zombie weddings in New Zealand. You must have cornered the market. And deservedly so.

LOL. At the beginning I was like... errr..... who's the zombie meant to represent? Man it was gory! LOL. Do you two like watching horror movies together? A nice change from the typical though, good job :D

James and Sarah are very cool. I can't wait for the wedding. That's all I'm sayin'.

Winter photoshoots are always slightly risky in Dunedin, because on the one hand we could have a freezing cold, windy, wet day, or we could have a lovely mild sunny day. This was one of the latter. If the sun does come out, it's my favourite light of the year.

Rachel and Rodney are very sweet, as you can see here.

Gemma and Jordan are possibly the most excited-to-be-engaged people I've ever met! They're fabulous. They also have a hilarious dog called George (a girl), who managed to feature in quite a few of these shots. George has her own bedroom. I'm keeping that information quiet around here...

Lush. Isn't it beautiful afternoon light at this time of year?

Elmer is a lot better. He's well enough to be WIDE AWAKE at 9.30pm (yawn).

I can barely concentrate on anything today - my parents are arriving in Dunedin this afternoon for 4 weeks!!! I'm so excited. I hope Elmer naps...

I photographed Yoel and Nick last weekend. It was cold and drizzly, but made for very romantic lighting. We started out at their place, a house they are currently renovating. It was Yoel's suggestion and I love it! I think it's great to not only capture portraits of the people you are today, but also your surroundings and your story.

Speaking of stories, we also visited the site of Y and N's first date. Nick didn't pick up Yoel in his car because he thought that might seem too keen. Funny! And then the second date he forgot his wallet so Yoel had to pay. He must have made quite an impression otherwise though because these two are getting married at the start of April. They're great fun, I really like them, so I'm looking forward to the wedding.

I love all the gritty little spots Dunedin has to offer. Isn't that a great red brick/mustard combo?
