Cole & Paige

[ENGAGEMENT]

Fort Worth, Texas

Cole popped the question to his impossibly cute girl, Paige, not too long ago. And to celebrate — an engagement session with us! This is our first shoot here in America, plus it was out of town. It was fun to explore the streets & gardens of Fort Worth with these two lovers.

We’ve been really enjoying playing with low light lately. There’s something about it that has a great energy and when you add two flirtatious sweethearts it has a beautiful intimate mood. Of course, having said all that, it’s hard to beat sunshine glistening through the trees. When you shoot in the late afternoon and into the evening, you get both!

Thanks for letting us capture the love, guys. Congrats on finding the one!

12 Months Stateside

Fri, 12 Oct 2012 08:17:56 +1000

It is with both a little sadness and great happiness that we say “See ya Australia — Hello USA”.

We will be living and operating Trigger Happy Images in Tulsa, Oklahoma and surrounding states until September 2013. We’re really excited to be shooting somewhere fresh for a season and on a personal note, we are excited to be with our American side of the family for the year. Tulsa is Dodge’s hometown, so it’s a delight to be here.

To all our faithful and ever-supportive Australian clients/friends (we always feel like we’re friends with our clients by the end of the shoot!), WE WILL BE BACK! It’s “see ya later”, not “goodbye forever”. We are taking bookings from November 2013 onwards, so drop us an email — we’d love to hear from you.

To our new Americans, let us know when we can shoot you! We’d love to meet with you! We thrive on travel, so even if you’re not based specifically in Tulsa, we can come to you — in fact, we’d absolutely LOVE to come to where you are in this stunning country.

Thanks for your support and your un-ending encouragement!

The lovely Luke & Janine welcomed their new little man into the world a few weeks ago. Janine was born to be a mum — doesn’t she just look so content. Congrats on your gorgeous baby, guys!

Tegan & Jordan

This beautiful couple are engaged.

We spent one perfect afternoon with them capturing the love, down at Fingal. The conditions were perfect: pretty people, stunning light, gorgeous location, a picnic, sparklers, party poppers and champagne. We couldn’t ask for better. Congrats on your engagement, Tegan & Jordan!

Gotcha

Tue, 07 Aug 2012 15:02:21 +1000

This is what happens when a groom has a verbal slip at the altar. We love capturing wedding moments like these!

We're back!

Tue, 10 Jul 2012 13:01:06 +1000

After having a lengthy 6 weeks off the grid, wandering about the USA, we’re back and better than ever.

We shall endeavour to post a few images captured on our travels. Here’s a little taster for now, shot at Salvation Mountain in southern California.

“We travel because we need to, because distance and difference are the secret tonic of creativity. When we get home, home is still the same. But something in our mind has been changed, and that changes everything.” – Jonah Lehrer

Liberty

Sun, 22 Apr 2012 23:35:00 +1000

Two dear friends of mine invited me to document the birth of their firstborn, Liberty. I’ve shot a lot of different events as a photographer and shared in many sacred moments that have been truly an honour to witness. I’m so happy to add this one to my list. This was perhaps one of the most intense raw human experiences I’ve ever shot.

These are a selection of images the gorgeous Ben & Sabrina Peters have graciously allowed me to share with the world. Thanks for trusting me with these moments. Love all three of you!

And then there were three

Tue, 28 Feb 2012 23:53:00 +1000

On the occasion of the birth of their sweet-cheeked Miles, a generous friend gifted a family portrait session to Camilla & Devin. It was a delight to meet the Bowles Family and shoot in their beautiful home.

The Book of Eli

Thu, 22 Dec 2011 12:39:23 +1000

Trigger Happy had the pleasure of meeting this little guy when he was just a week old. Brooke & Ben were so excited to have their brand new little boy, Eli in front of our camera. Everything about a newborn is just so delicate and, well, new! So for all you other expectant mummas & pappas out there, be sure to schedule in a session!

A Perfect Afternoon

Wed, 21 Dec 2011 02:57:46 +1000

This is my brother. And his beautiful wife. And their seriously gorgeous daughters. On a perfect afternoon in the park.

Merry Christmas from us!

Tue, 20 Dec 2011 10:38:15 +1000

To all our clients… THANKS for a stellar 2011! It’s been a HUGE year for us but you’ve all been so good-looking — you’ve made it easy!

We’re shutting down for a much needed 2 week break. Looking forward to an even bigger 2012. Thanks for your support.

PS. Our christmas tradition is taking photos like these…

Captain Kirk & Co

Mon, 19 Dec 2011 22:07:00 +1000

Little boys like twigs and leaves and building secret cubby houses in the woods. So with the two adorable Kirk boys and their good-looking parents, we ventured in the woods for this magical little shoot.

Lora & Jase

Thu, 15 Dec 2011 23:13:00 +1000

These lovebirds decided the best way to get married was to surprise everyone by tying the knot at their engagement party. That was a fun night. Of course with such a plan there’s not much time to have some gorgeous portraits taken in daylight so check out these images that were shot just after they got back from their honeymoon.

It was such a pleasure shooting these two. They are so very in love. And we love them!

The Australian

One of our images from the 2010 Hillsong Live album recording has been published in last Friday’s issue of The Australian. Shame about the ‘groovy’ headline but pretty sweet to see our pic on newsprint!
