Bundanon Trust Riversdale Wedding | Nicola + John

08/04/2019

I'm stoked to share Nicola and John's Bundanon Trust Riversdale wedding with you today. This incredible venue is set in an absolutely amazing location (see that first photo below? that's the view from the reception... crazy, right). Bundanon is deliciously hidden in a huge area of bush, and I'm sure the guests at this wedding felt like they were in a very special plac[...]

Seacliff House Wedding Gerringong | Sam + Rach

29/03/2019

Every year, I have one wedding that I'll never forget due to either the crazy icy cold, or the absolute scorching heat on that particular day. Sam + Rach's Seacliff House wedding in Gerringong takes the cake for 2018. Not only was it my first wedding at Seacliff House (which by the way is an absolute cracker of a wedding venue), but it was SO hot during the ceremony t[...]

Quamby Home Wedding Tasmania | Nic + Amelia

27/02/2019

Nic + Amelia (who by the way are two of my new favourite humans) had their Quamby Home Wedding on a lovely warm Tasmanian day in January. I had prepared for Tasmania’s famous unpredictable weather – I had a warm shirt, a jumper AND a jacket, but instead I was greeted by warmth. In fact, in the almost two weeks I spent traveling around the island, I experienced an incr[...]

Centennial Vineyards wedding | Lucy + Cai

04/02/2019

Everyone, say hi to Lucy and Cai. I'm very happy to share their Centennial Vineyards wedding with you today. Looking back through these photos, I remember how wonderfully overcast the day was, and how perfectly soft the light was. For some reason I remember the day as being cold, although I'm sure it wasn't (it was November). I have a couple of favourite wedding venu[...]

Camden Italian Food Project Wedding | Laura + Sholto

22/01/2019

If your wedding venue has the words 'Italian Food Project' in its name, you can be pretty sure that i'll be excited to be a part of your big day 😂 This Italian Food Project wedding took place in Camden, on a lovely overcast day in late 2018. It's odd, the little things that come back to me in the weeks and months after I shoot a wedding. So much goes on durin[...]

2018 – A Summary

28/12/2018

2018 was my 8th year of shooting weddings full time in the Southern Highlands. It was also my busiest and craziest year yet, with a total of 78 weddings over the last 12 months. I continue to be blown away that this many couples are willing to trust me with documenting what is no doubt one of the most special days of their lives. The year has also been a year of emot[...]

Melross Farm Wedding | Zannie + Cam

06/12/2018

It was a perfect spring day as I drove out to Kangaroo Valley for Zannie and Cam's Melross Farm wedding. Dodging wombats and echidnas along the way, I ended up at Melross for the first time ever (not sure how I'd managed to avoid shooting a Melross Farm wedding for so long - it certainly wasn't intentional). I headed along the main tree-lined drive and immediately fel[...]

Canowindra Wedding | Danni + Josh’s Country Wedding

28/11/2018

I remember sitting in a cafe with Danni and Josh after they first booked me to shoot their Canowindra wedding. They were trying to explain to me how the wedding would play out. They'd chosen the date of their wedding partly because that would be when the canola was flowering. I'd never been to Canowindra, nor had I ever seen a field of canola in flower, but they made [...]
