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 [...]

Rippon Wanaka Wedding – Idelia + Ram

25/10/2018

There's something pretty special about being near the mountains, and at this Rippon Wanaka wedding, I wasn't just near the mountains - I was in them. I had the absolute pleasure of shooting not one but two weddings for ID and Ram. The first was a Hindu wedding in Sydney, and the second was this Wanaka wedding you're looking at right now. I could tell you all about ho[...]

Walka Water Works wedding

30/08/2018

I met Megan and Lachlan at Megan's sister's wedding in the Clare Valley near Adelaide. You can have a look at that wedding on my blog here. Some time later, Megan emailed asking if I'd like to be involved in her Walka Water Works wedding near Maitland. I googled the venue and was amazed at the images I was seeing. Of course I wanted to be involved! The Walka Water [...]

Mercure Gerringong Wedding | Sarah + Brandon

08/07/2018

Being based in the Southern Highlands doesn't mean I don't love a trip down to the coast every now and again for a wedding - hey, it's generally much warmer :) So a month or so ago I drove down Macquarie Pass to shoot this lovely Mercure Gerringong wedding. I'd only had the chance to photographer one Mercure Gerringong wedding before - around four years ago - and I w[...]

Kangaroo Valley Wedding | Bec + Amy’s same-sex wedding

26/06/2018

There are so many things I want to type here about this Kangaroo Valley wedding; I feel that my head and heart are overflowing with things I want to share. I'm not even sure where to start. I want to write again about my passion for marriage equality, about home-made bouquets and self-decorated receptions, and shaggy highland cows, mis-matched bridesmaid outfits; but [...]

Robertson Hotel Wedding | Cathryn + Matthew

20/06/2018

This was my first Robertson Hotel wedding in quite some time - around 5 years I think! I was stoked to get back to this wonderful venue and spend some more time shooting around these wonderful grounds. A lovely day for a Robertson Hotel wedding I arrived to the Robertson Hotel on a wonderful spring day. Cool temps but not too cold; a lovely Southern Highlands day.[...]

Centennial Vineyards Bowral wedding | Tara + Robert

03/05/2018

As a wedding photographer in Bowral, I end up shooting at a certain few venues quite a lot over the course of one wedding season. Centennial Vineyards is one of those venues that I just love going back to, and I absolutely never get tired of it. Early in 2018 I was there to spend the day with Tara and Robert, so here's my take on their wonderful Centennial Vineyards B[...]
