one fine day photography bio picture
  • welcome to one fine day photography

    Hi! My name is Luke Arms, and I'm the guy who takes the photos around here. Welcome!

    I'm a documentary wedding and portrait photographer based in Newcastle, Australia. Most of the weddings I cover are in the Hunter Valley, the Central Coast or Sydney, but I'm also available to photograph a handful of national and international destination weddings each year.

    This blog is the story of my family and my clients. If you like what you see, please leave a comment or two. Better yet, say hi and get some of your own photo lovin'!

    If you're looking for photos, prices, or just more info, check out the menu above.

    Enjoy!

the arvidson family … [portrait session]

I have so many weddings, portrait sessions and other stuff to share with you that I really don’t know where to start.

So, how’s this for a start: I’ll post randomly from my huge list of unblogged photos, until I’m all caught up. Chronological order? Completely overrated.

Today, I bring you 4 humans, 2 dogs and a lakeside park. I bet you can’t guess which girl is planning to become a vet;)

one today … [photo of the day]

This little guy has been with us for a year already.

Can we believe it? Not really. I don’t think it could have gone much faster. (Certain aspects could perhaps have gone a little faster for Michelle, though:P)

Spew, poo and lack of sleep aside, we couldn’t have imagined just how awesome being Josiah’s parents would be, and we feel so blessed to have shared this past year with him. May we be able to say the same on many more July 18′s:)

Dear God, thank you for our little man.

This is what happens when you tell a little girl there’s a birdy in your camera.
