"Love is beyond either condition: without spring, without autumn, it is always fresh." Rumi
To all our newly engaged couples. Congratulations! Be yourselves and create a wedding that truly reflects who you are together. We hope we inspire you and introduce you to the wonderful world of weddings.
People always look better when they are natural and being themselves. Rather than forced poses we let it flow and capture the moments as they unfold. Many years of experience also sets us apart. No matter rain or shine our clients have peace of mind that their images will be amazing. A Blumenthal image has a very unique look - it's the soft flattering lighting, beautiful composition together with the emotion that really captures the entire story of the day.
It's all about moments. Moments captured spontaneously will be a valuable memory forever. We appeal to people who are after natural images and don't want to be placed in awkward cheesy poses. The result is stylish real images with people looking there best. People always ask why our images look so different from any others. It takes many years of working with natural light and being sensitive to what's happening on the other side of the camera to achieve consistently beautiful images time after time.

Hannah and Jack met at a mutual friend’s birthday celebration. It was the start of what has been a whirlwind romance ever since. Jack proposed to Hannah at a harbour front restaurant in Wollongong and as a newly engaged couple they made the move to the UK for 12 months. It was on their return to Australia that they started planning their wedding. “We had 18 months to plan and it was quite a stress-free process, as we had plenty of time so we didn’t feel pressured or rushed.”

Kylie Hopkins and Jonathan Dissanayake were simply meant to be, there was only so many times they could label meeting as coincidence. “I would be the first person to be wearing a quizzical expression, but dare I say it, our story forces you to ponder the possibility that the cliché, ‘It was fate,’ is still very much alive,” said Kylie.
On yet another much frequented dance floor, a girlfriend of Kylie’s decided enough was enough. She approached Jonathan and asked him if he would care to dance with Kylie. It was a 'Yes' and they danced the night away. Jonathan wasted little time, asking Kylie to be his first girlfriend on Valentine’s Day with a red rose and a cheeky smile. After eight years together creating their story, Jonathan proposed with the stars seemingly within reach, candlelight and roses strewn across the floor of a rooftop terrace. It was naturally the highlight of a luxury-laden weekend away, planned with precision and as Kylie said, “It was perfect!”

It began as a holiday romance. Samantha Samuels was visiting from South Africa and was introduced to Michael Krimotat whilst on a night out with family friends. "Michael and I clicked instantly, we spent the night talking and dancing. By 3am I wanted to go to the beach and as I'm from Johannesburg, the beach is the most exciting place on earth! We spent the next few hours talking about everything," Samantha said. When it came time for the holiday to end neither of them could bare the thought of being apart. So they didn’t say goodbye and the rest is history.
