Jessica + John {Married} | Hobart wedding photographer, Katinka Smith

Weddings and Love, , , ,

March 12, 2016 was the day that John and Jessica said ‘I do’! What a beautiful day it was.

John got ready at his family’s home and Jess got ready in the gorgeous home recently purchased by the happy couple (2016 is their year!). They said their vows in St Stephen’s Anglican Church (also know as the Red Chapel at the Bottom of Red Chapel Ave in Sandy Bay) and had their Reception at the Henry Jones Art Hotel on the Hobart docks.

The skies were a little grey but the rain held of until the couple hit their reception (phew!).

The team that helped to make their day special were:

Hair: Bianca Schenk
Make-up: Beth Oakley
Priest: Rob Stanley
Flowers: Anna Marchant
Dress: Caleche from Luxe, Hobart
Musicians: Hobart Mobile Music

Thank you also to my second shooter Elena Gough who helped me out on the day and in particular got some great ‘in the moment’ shots while I was working with the bigger groups. Thanks Elena!

Here is the story of Jessica and John’s day.

Weddings and Love, , ,

December 12, 2015 was a lovely day for Michael and Nicole to say ‘I do’! They held their ceremony and reception at the gorgeous Twelve Stones in Pontville, Tasmania. This is one of my favourite local breakfast spots, so I was excited to photograph a wedding here!

Here are some details of the special people that helped make Nicole and Michael’s wedding amazing!
Hair: Nicole and Sarah (it’s handy when the Bride is also a hairdresser!)
Make up: KazC Mobile Makeup Artistry
Priest: Celia Hooker
Flowers: Kylie Davey – Designs for you Wedding Flowers.
The cake was crafted by Nicole’s mum Michelle.

Here are some highlights from Nicole and Michael’s wonderful day. It has been an honour to get to know you both and your wonderful children. I wish you both happiness and love! Thanks so much for having me along.

Thank you also to my always trusty second photographer James Garlick for photographing the boys and helping me out on the day.

Tori and Anders Engagement photoshoot | Hobart wedding photographer, Katinka Smith

Weddings and Love, , , , ,

Some images from Tori and Anders sweet engagement session in Fitroy gardens with their wonderful beagles! Dogs are family too and I love including them whenever we can. I love working with my wedding couples prior to their big day. It is a great way for us to really get to know each other and help reduce some of those camera nerves so that they can just relax and feel a bit more natural on their special day. I think it worked, Tori and Anders were fantastic on their wedding day! You can see for yourself HERE.

Nathan and Az, a special father and son session by Hobart photographer, Katinka Smith

Family photography, , , ,

I’d love you to meet Nathan and 5 year old Asaiah (Az). They have a wonderful father and son bond as you can see below.

It was wonderful meeting and photographing Nathan and Az. You can see how much Nathan enjoys being with son. Az is full of life, it is as though he is committed to squeezing every drop out of life, he’s going to live it all and leave no stone unturned. He is such an exciting little guy and a joy to be around. My aim for our session was to document Nathan and Az being a dad and a son. If you know my usual family imagery, then you know that I don’t want contrived, cheesy posed stuff that isn’t YOU. So as always, I wanted authentic and real interactions and images, only this time it felt more important than ever to capture these two people exactly as they are with each other, exactly as they would remember it themselves, because Nathan has aggressive brain cancer and so his time with Az might be short. He is already exceeding the life expectancy that he was given when he was diagnosed 3 years ago, so every day with Az is a real blessing.

So Nathan and Az played at the park, horsed around by the river, they played light sabres with sticks and rock paper scissors on the grass. Then we wrapped it up with an ice-cream and a stroll on Kingston beach. Even if I wasn’t there, I reckon they would have had a pretty cool father and son afternoon out.

Nathan has a Gofundme campaign to raise money to get them both to Queensland to live with his sister and brother in law and to provide for Az. You can donate here: https://www.gofundme.com/fy4q27qc

Thanks for a great afternoon Nathan and Az, it was a pleasure.

Tori and Anders {Married} | Hobart wedding photographer, Katinka Smith

Weddings and Love, ,

On 14 March 2015 the gorgeous Tori and Anders said “I do” in the company of their special family and friends. The weather left a lot to be desired but wow we were so lucky, we got perfect windows of lovely weather at the exact times that we needed them! It was an honour to be apart of their very special day!

Tori, Gemma and Anna got ready at the Marchant family home – which was amazing! Their make up was done by Liv Rodgers and their hair by Cath at Bboss Sandy Bay.

Anders, Stuart and Rowan got ready at the amazing Woodbridge Hill Hideaway where the lovers were wed, which was handy, because they had some work to do hanging their lanterns and setting things up just so. No rest for the boys!

Maria Bond was their wonderful celebrant and she did a great job tailoring their ceremony just so. She was also LOVELY! The cake was AMAZING and was made by Lisa Morgan at Creating Cakes. Those adorable flowers are by Lisa at Milkbud flowers and styling on the East Coast.

All in all, it was an amazing wedding for two really beautiful people. Congratulations Tori and Anders! Thank you so much for having me along to photograph your special day.

Thanks again to my wonderful ‘sidekick’ James Garlick for being my trusty second shooter. I couldn’t ask for better!

Ange and Farrel {Married} | Hobart wedding photographer, Katinka Smith

Weddings and Love, ,

On 9 March 2014, Angela and Farrel said ‘I do’ and had an awesome party!
It was a beautiful ceremony in St David’s Park, Hobart. A gorgeous sunny warm Autumn day. David Closs was the celebrant, there were visitors from all over to witness the moment that had been patiently waited for and there were 3 cheeky little boys – the VIP witnesses. Ange was prepared for her special day in the Lenna of Hobart Hotel – a stunning location!

Many thanks to my sidekick James Garlick for second shooting. Here is a selection of our highlights from the day.

Evans family {lifestyle family photography} | Hobart family photographer, Katinka Smith

Family photography,

Would I photograph an extended family session at the beach, followed up with some backyard shenanigans? Heck yes I would!! You know me, you know that nothing makes me happier than imagery that is real and authentic to a family. I want to see the love, the bonds and the connections; the stuff that we remember the most from a time that truly is fleeting. For the Evans family the beach is important to them and how they play and they had their cousins to play with too.

I think cousins are so important, I love ALL 30-something of mine, so it was great to do photograph a session with cousins! So off we went for a stroll to the beach. As soon as we set foot on the beach it immediately rained and we had to shelter under some rocky overhangs. It didn’t take long to pass and then we had brilliant sunshine to play in which sent me scrambling with camera settings thanks to the changing light conditions. That’s Tassie weather for you!!

Back at their house we got to have a little play in the BEST CUBBY IN THE WORLD – yep, I’m calling it! These kids are going to grow up with some of the coolest memories from their childhood. I’m considering packing up and moving to the beach too! Here’s some highlights from this lovely little lifestyle family session.
