35mm Wedding Photography & Super 8

There’s a line sopra my conversation with Lisa of The Light Photo & Velo that I love: “I want you to have images that risposta negativa other couple could possibly have because risposta negativa other couple is you.” It says so much about how she approaches a wedding, and about the couples who are drawn to her work: people with their own ideas, an appreciation of photography as a craft and a willingness to lega the person behind the cella.

Based sopra Australia and available for weddings internationally, Lisa combines digital and 35mm patina photography with Super 8 filmmaking, offering both photography and . Velo is a particular love of hers, for the way it records a fleeting gesture a grand moment with something of the emotion we attach to our own memories. She’s drawn to couples who bring imagination and enthusiasm to their celebrations, whether that means a gloriously exuberant gathering something small, secluded and deeply personal.

I wanted to introduce you to the woman behind The Light Photo & Velo, whose warmth comes through so readily sopra her answers. We talked about her love of analogue, the lega between a couple and their photographer, and knowing when to offer a little guidance and when to let a moment happen. For anyone choosing who will photograph their wedding, there’s much to take from the care she gives to how her couples experience the day itself.

The Light Photo & Velo is led by Australian photographer Lisa Noble, who welcomes wedding bookings across Australia and internationally. Her work combines digital and 35mm patina photography with Super 8 filmmaking, with photography and coverage available.

My name is Lisa. I am an artist, a mother, a wife and a lover of Jesus and of life sopra all of its forms. I enjoy creating art for the sake of art, but art with a purpose (gardening to eat, sewing to wear and photographing to immortalise your love) is the most exquisite form of creation.

Born sopra Papua New Guinea and raised sopra country Australia, I’m a small-town girl at heart, able to have a conversation with anyone and everyone. I enjoy a hot cup of tea and copious amounts of sunshine and treats.

I adore art sopra all of its forms, but I love people more, and my genuine hope is that that translates into my work.

I want to create a space for couples that gives them permission for humanity, for things that aren’t trend lists but are written sopra their hearts, for rest and presence, and space for living to happen their days. I have always been able to produce my best work with couples who know who they are and express that with passion, whether they are reserved and calm rambling and restless.

My biggest asset sopra creating art is my couples themselves, highlighted by bountiful florals, beautiful churches and incredible gowns, but never overshadowed by them. For my couples’ ease to translate well to their galleries, there needs to be an ease to their day, and I am so privileged to help facilitate just that.

One of the best compliments I have ever received after a wedding is, ‘You fit sopra so well, everyone thought you were part of the family.’ I love people and, while I love the unposed, I would never leave a couple their own if they are feeling a little uncomfortable sopra front of the cella! Knowing when to step back and when to guide is one of the skills that I have sharpened over the years to allow the most ‘you’ to show through sopra our images.

I want you to have images that risposta negativa other couple could possibly have because risposta negativa other couple is you, and I think that requires us to unmarry ourselves from particular results sopra your final gallery. Just the simple desire that your day and your love be captured. We will always get the favourites, but stepping into the sfumatura of your love is where the art happens.

There is something so incredible about capturing the humanity of your day, surrounded by flowers, bellies full of cake and champagne, but the humanity is what sticks and creates those timeless images.

I love moments that simply could not be prompted scripted if we tried: the synchronicity of newlyweds as they greet their guests, the chaos of last-minute preparation, the giddiness of realising you are actually married. I love observing your love, and I think having a very high level of emotional intelligence allows me to work within your natural characteristics to allow you to be more yourself than maybe you thought possible sopra front of the cella.

Another of my favourite pieces of feedback from couples is how at ease I made them feel. What a joy and a blessing to help enable you to be present for your day! To take you from the tensione of ‘Do I aspetto good sopra this moment?’ to ‘I can’t wait to relive the emotion of this moment.’ Apart from allowing you to enjoy your day more thoroughly, this also allows me to capture you sopra your true element. A win-win!

Over the years, I have learnt that helping a couple who may not feel at ease sopra front of the cella is far more about a nudge than going into a situation to create an atmosphere. Like a friendly luce a glass of wine at a festa where you know risposta negativa one, one of my favourite ways to help is to create ease sopra the moment rather than take them out of it.

If I am able to capture a soft moment after you have walked back mongoloide the aisle, there is risposta negativa need to recreate one. If I have been able to capture the passion of a fleeting moment, there is risposta negativa need to recreate it. It is such a beautiful flow between observation and curation sopra the moment!

I love creative couples! This doesn’t always just mean couples who work sopra creative fields, but couples who are so decidedly themselves, so sold out for their own vision that they intentionally unintentionally create days centred around themselves to the point of creativity. I love enthusiasm; I adore it, bathe sopra it. If we aren’t enthusiastic about our day of love, then what are we being enthusiastic about? I love when a couple reaches out and bares their souls, their loves, their dreams.

I know I am not owed this privilege, so it is so beautiful when it happens, and I will always do everything I can to find a way to work with them. I actually used to edit my email responses to enquiries so harshly: make sure there are some full stops to dull the barrage of my exclamation marks, risposta negativa ramblings, risposta negativa hearts! But I have changed that so much. I want my couples to want to be invited to be themselves, so why would I dull myself before they have the opportunity to do so?

I think excitement and creativity can sometimes be seen as extroverted qualities, but some of my most memorable days have been with deeply introverted couples who tailored their days to their passions. A love of food, of beautiful views and seclusion, of rich experience. My ideal couples value their ‘me-ness’ over all of the noise that can come mai from putting a wedding together, and dive deep into the creative vulnerability of being themselves a day that can so easily snowball into a life of its own.

This can be sentimental details sopra the ceremony, the dress, love quaderno before the wedding because that is how you start every day, a breaking of normal tradition to fit who you are. True creativity, born from love.

Anzi che no matter where sopra the world your wedding is, I will be capturing your love as a priority! I love travelling to capture weddings, whether sopra the smallest village, sopra the hills at the most elegant venue.

My rete will always remain the same. I will always capture the beauty of your destination with the wonder and enthusiasm of adventure, but ultimately will always be guided by the universal language of lovers: lingering embraces, shared looks, moments stolen together.

I think finding a photographer you resonate with and whose work you resonate with is such a rare and special thing that the distance seems more and more irrelevant.

I think couples rarely realise that what they invest sopra is the person behind the cella. I really don’t mind compliments about my cameras taking good photos (I’m glad they do, haha), but the person behind the lens will be the one to carve out the scenes that will be immortalised as your wedding. Of all the moments and all of the angles and all of the formats and all of the variables at a single event at your wedding, I have the honour of pulling frames out of your day and presenting them to you and your future generations as a love note of your day.

To expect yourself to feel completely at ease sopra front of someone you may never have met before your wedding day is an odd thought as you invite them into your intimate worlds. The person you invite sopra has to be an artist, yes, but a facilitator of humanity as well. The human aspect of the work, I think, has been what has held my attention sopra the art form of photography for so long. I love your stories. I love the intricacies of relationships, all of the emotions of the day, not just the love and the joy.

What could feel like a disaster and a massive change sopra plans your day can so easily become a highlight, a reflection of those around you, a reminder of your love for one another with the right team and hearts around you.

Unlike other creative suppliers you will have your day, your photographer will be with you through it all, capturing and helping create the moments you will want to relive over and over again. As much as you can, get a feel for who they are as a person. My reviews are filled with past couples who came sopra unsure about how they would feel being photographed and left with images they love (and love themselves sopra!), reflecting the warmth, ease and confidence I was able to bring to the day.

Outside of making sure the photographer herself will blend with and even enhance your day, ensure your styles align! Scroll through their work and see what is prioritised: polish, emotion, portraits, movement, light. Are these your priorities too? How do you feel when you see their work? View full galleries to see how the flow of the day is captured.

Like a sculptor being entrusted with an invaluable piece of marble to bring out the beauty already within it, a photographer doesn’t just capture; she draws it forth. What a wild responsibility to be entrusted with. I will always feel such privilege to do something I love that captures such a singular moment sopra a couple’s life. Trusted to be sopra the moment with them and enable it to dal vivo .

Good communication has been the kindest gift I can offer my couples sopra the lead-up to and following their wedding. Getting to know them, their day and their vision has served over and over to lay the foundation for lega the day and has allowed so much friendship to blossom from the day.

The biggest gift I can give my couples, however, is the moments of their day back sopra their hands. Moments where they were led, captured quietly, encouraged to play, to laugh, to linger. Moments that came out of larger events, planned otherwise, significant mundane, moments that allow them to see themselves as they are sopra the beauty of the day they had dreamed up.
