Have you been following the lovely Katie’s journey over on Polka Dot Weddings? Well her lovely photographers Tamiz Photography are offering a very special offer to our readers!

Tamiz Photography are headed to Fiji to shoot Katie’s wedding, but they’re making a special stop in Australia first and they would love to shoot an Australian wedding while they’re here! This means you’ll get to hire a talented international photographer for your wedding and forget about travel costs!  They’ll be in Sydney from the 14th November 2012 until the 22nd of November 2012. While they will be based in NSW, they’re open to travel!  The dynamic team are also open to shooting engagements- so visit their Tamiz Photography website for more information and to contact them!

 Rounding out our week is this fun stop motion video sent to us by Manisa of Structured Pieces. They created a stop motion wedding invitation for Brooke and David- a fun couple who wanted to use their engagement photos (shot by Structured Pieces.) as a part of their wedding invitations and turned it into this!
