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[...]

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 venue[...]
