Bendooley Estate Book Barn Wedding

04/12/2019

I'm stoked to share this Bendooley Estate Book Barn wedding with you on my blog! I guess every wedding photographer has that one venue that they shoot at a lot, and that they know really well. For me that is Bendooley Estate. If you're reached this blog post via a google search for the venue then I assume you know how epic this place is. If for some reason you aren't [...]

Villa Oliviero Positano wedding photographer

07/11/2019

I'm super happy to share this Villa Oliviero Positano wedding with you! I met Alyssa and Alex at a wedding I shot in Bowral a few years ago. Alyssa was a bridesmaid. In fact, it was her sister's wedding I was shooting that day (on my blog here). Fast forward a few years, and I received an email from Alyssa asking me to shoot her wedding in Sydney. I no longer shoot we[...]

Summerlees Sutton Forest Wedding | Caitlin + Tim

04/08/2019

This Summerlees Wedding was incredible, and I'm very happy to share it with you today 😍 Summerlees (it's since changed names to Somerley House), a sprawling Sutton Forest estate; somehow, a wedding here is even more beautiful in gloomy weather. We arrived early and were inquisitively greeted by various cute animals: a big fluffy grey cat (his name is Nikel), a[...]

Bendooley Wedding | Bettina + Josh

30/07/2019

There are some venues that look pretty incredible no matter the season. This Bendooley wedding is, to me, evidence that the wonderful Bendooley Estate is an absolute photography gold mine during autumn. Don't get me wrong - it's incredible no matter the season. In summer it's lush and green, in spring the flowers are going crazy, and in winter it's wonderfully stark a[...]

Jaspers Wedding | Megan + Mitch

20/07/2019

This Jaspers wedding is absolute proof that rain on your wedding day is not a bad thing! Whenever I wake up the morning of a wedding I like to check the weather, see what kind of afternoon I'm on for. I recall looking at the weather app on the morning of Megan and Mitch's Jaspers wedding and seeing a little cloud with a bunch of rain below it. This is the kind of news[...]

Southern Highlands Photographer | What does an engagement shoot look like?

04/07/2019

When you book me as your Southern Highlands photographer, there are a few additions you can add on to your package; one of these is an engagement shoot. One of the most common question I'm asked is 'do you think we need an engagement shoot? We aren't very photogenic and we're not good in front of a camera, so we think it might help...' So I started giving lots of thou[...]

Wagga Wedding Photographer | Uneke Warehouse + Borambola Wines

14/05/2019

I'm stoked to share this Wagga wedding with you. March and April this year were particularly crazy for me. I had no fewer than eight weddings in that two month period that required either a huge drive, or a flight. These were in places like Brisbane, Wagga, Canberra, Mudgee, Goulburn and the Hunter Valley. One of these was Angie and Shane's absolutely joyous Uneke War[...]

Bendooley Stables Wedding | Mark + Danny at Bendooley Stables

24/04/2019

I was lucky enough to shoot the VERY FIRST Bendooley Stables wedding! This was literally the first wedding ever held at the new Stables, and what a way to kick things off. A Bendooley Stables wedding - my happy place If you follow my instagram, you've probably noticed that I shoot at Bendooley a LOT - like, sometimes 10-15 times in one year. Over the years I've develo[...]
