About

Here’s me, in short: age 37 / tall / bearded / ex-lawyer / traveler / music lover / wine drinker / cat owner. Based in the Southern Highlands an hour south of Sydney. Will shoot weddings anywhere and everywhere. I love living in the Highlands, and I love being a Bowral wedding photographer.

My Wedding // Bowral Wedding Photographer

On February 1 of 2013 at 4pm, the day before my own wedding, our marquee collapsed and was ruined in a storm. Hmmm…….
Everything was ready. The entire wedding was prepared – completely DIY. We had organised a private property for the ceremony and reception (we got married at Growwild, which is owned and operated by my parents). We had purchased a marquee. We had trawled garage sales and markets for vintage tea cups, saucers, plates and cutlery. We had hired a pizza oven. We had chosen a celebrant that we thought represented us: young, vibrant, passionate. We had constructed our own dance floor, had run 200m of fairy lights inside our marquee.  Organised each guest to bring a salad as a contribution to the pizza. Organised desert. I had made probably the most kick-ass playlist known to mankind.
And finally, by 4pm, the day before the wedding.. there was no more to do. The marquee was completely setup, the tables all set, ready for the next day.
Then out of no-where a freak storm came in, picked up our marquee, threw it on the ground. The marquee was ruined. Our table settings were destroyed.  We had to deconstruct our tables, remove all our place settings, and rush it all to a nearby shed (it was raining). By 7pm we had no tables setup, no decorations,  and an 80 person wedding the following day. And a busted, unusable marquee.

Why should you book me? Well, I guess ultimately I don’t want to just be another fish in the sea. I don’t want you to book me because I’m a photographer within your budget in your area. I want you to LOVE my work, and to like me as a person. I want to work with people with whom I will be friends.

So, let’s be friends 🙂  From here, you can head over to my blog, or to read my FAQ.

As I spend half my year shooting weddings in the UK, I also have a UK website with a bunch of info for my UK couples. You can find it by clicking here: Exeter wedding photographer, Devon wedding photographer
