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[...]

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 emoti[...]

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.An amazing Rippon Wanaka wedd[...]

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 Wo[...]
