Duos can work against each other: Moriaty and Holmes, Vader and Skywalker (until the Jerry Springer/Sally Jessie Raphael/Oprah – ‘I’m yo’ daddy’ moment). Sometimes the dynamics of a duo equal epic with a bit of ness; such as the Zombie Boy and Andrej Pejic shoot, Batman and Robin, and cookies and milk – we have to add Ben Blood and Kyle Johnson to the line up as together they make awesome!
This shoot is the Venn diagram of photographic majesties: Ben Blood and Kyle Johnson have concocted the best mashup since Songs in the Key of Dee (Beach Boys Vs J Dilla – it is an epic, trust us on this).
Visually, we have the medium format magic of the Hasselblad in one corner of the ring, and digital destruction in the other. But, when they come together they complement each other beautifully, both mediums celebrate the raw beauty of Anna and Stephen’s wedding. As always with us, it is about mood, emotion, and raw feeling and the essence of the day is carefully held in each gorgeous pixel.
Faces etched with laughter, love, joy, happiness – the essence of the big day artfully captured by two lens kings. So, we will love you and leave you this Friday to contemplate the beauty of this gorgeous shoot. Luxuriate in some ocular treats; Namaste until Monday.
Kyle Johnson (a.k.a Robin)
Ben Blood (a.k.a Batman)
The Photographic Glory goes to: Ben Blood and Kyle Johnson
About the author
I'm the big kahuna with the whole shebang. Amma = Idiot + Savant. Also known as Ams, Amsy, and less frequently Adjubi . Nice to make your acquaintance. I write in the first, second, third and sometimes disembodied person (Bet it will confuse the life out of you).
I almost didn’t look at this for fear it would make me green with envy. Well it did, but I liked it. Beautiful work by both Kyle and Ben and a beautiful wedding.

Sheesh, genius.
I’m a big fan of Ben’s photography – love his quirky and personal style.
Love it, the mix of styles is fantastic, the beauty and emotion of the celebration just shines through. Beautiful
Adoring this wedding over on @beyondbeyond a real feast for the eyes http://t.co/cTkf1jl4
Oh my god, these are incredible! I am only slightly biased as I love, love, love the fact that they were using a Hasselblad (which I like to do as well – it’s not the easiest but clearly the awesomest!). I adore Ben Blood’s photography. So beautiful.
