I met a Star…. THE Jasmine* {Sydney Wedding Photographer}

So…. im not really into ‘stars’. Im actually really terrible, I not sure if its that I don’t recognise the ‘star’, or if Im just one of those people who doesn’t get ‘star-struck’. Ive stood next to a breakfast radio DJ while picking up my pizza, and didn’t bat an eye. I had a drink at our local pup, while a tennis star and his ‘home & away’ wife played pool behind me, and I didn’t go all weak at the knees, I shot a wedding last year, where an Underbelly star was the brides cousin, and I didn’t even realise until my husband saw me editing the photos (and thats bad, because, like the rest of Australia, minus Victoria, I LOVED the first underbelly, I SHOULD have recognised him from a mile away!). I feel sorry for the poor sports personalities out there, who are doing what they love for a living, and somehow its turned them into celebrities (except for Shane Warne) (Oh, and I am thankful for all the Ben Cousins coverage with no top on, he he ). My husband reckons I’d be the best person to shoot a celebrity wedding, as I wouldn’t get all star-struck. I read mums old Woman’s Days in about 2 minutes, because im just not really interested. I believe their life is their own.

Anyway, in saying all of that, last Monday, I met a star. The one and only, Jasmine Star, an awesome photographer based in the US. Ive followed j*’s website for a year or so now, and actually surprised myself when I booked to go to her workshop as soon as I found out about it. I wondered, did I really want to go to meet j* herself, or did I want to go to learn from the master. Ah, what the hell, a little from column A and a little from column B! I must admit, I was a bit star-struck. She looked EXACTLY like she looks on her blog, a skinny mini, with perfect teeth, and she really does LOVE her gorgeous hubby, JD (and Polo the dog). I had a great day, learnt a bunch, and got to catch up with some Facebook Buddies (new & old). I didn’t take too many photos of the gorgeous models, as I spent more time watching Jasmine shoot, and listening to the way she directed the bride & groom, etc – but here are a few images I managed to shoot:
