The car was packed, and Michelle and I hit the road: a 9 our drive to Daylesford, which was to be our base for a few days while we scouted, prepared and then photographed this wonderful Aghadoe Estate wedding. Full story below. I met Sarah + Lachlan a few years back; they were guests at…
I’ve actually known Andrew – the dapper guy in the Southern Highlands marquee wedding below – for around 32 years or so. To be honest I can’t remember meeting him back in 1985. In fact he may not even have been born yet! That was the year that I was attending pre-school in Sydney with…
In 2017, I photographed 73 weddings in three countries (Australia, New Zealand and Canada). Of those Aussie ones, most of them were in the Highlands – I still call myself a Bowral Photographer, as I live in Bowral, and most of my weddings are there. But I also love to travel around. [edit: after posting…
The Hunter Valley is one of those regions where, it seems, around every corner is a new venue you haven’t seen yet. Drive one more block, turn one more corner, and you’ll find a spot you didn’t know existed. In this case, quite central to the area, if you make your way down a small…
It gives my great pleasure to show you this amazing Jaspers Berry wedding today on my blog! I admit that I adore this venue. It’s such a wonderfully easy place to shoot. The staff are welcoming, the grounds are beautiful. Everything is quite close and you don’t have to spend much time walking between, say,…
I’m very happy to share this wonderful Somerley House wedding with you. As some of you guys may know, the wedding ‘off-season’ in the Southern Highlands is July until September – winter, obviously. During this period there are fewer weddings in Bowral quite simply because it’s cold and can get pretty miserable. This time of…
It’s no secret that a Bendooley Estate wedding in autumn is my happy place. In May I spent a wonderful autumn day with Caitlin, Rob + their families and friends, and their Bendooley Estate wedding. I thought I might list a few of the factors that made this wedding a wonderful celebration to be a…
The first wedding I ever photographed (I think back in 2008) was at Milton Park. I remember turning up with my meagre camera gear, no idea what was happening (I’d only been to one wedding in my life). I remember being absolutely and utterly terrified. Things went pretty well, I had fun, and I think…
Jean + Cam’s Arthur’s Pass Wedding was one of two New Zealand weddings Michelle and I had the pleasure of shooting earlier this year. I have a bit of a history with these two lovely people; I actually met them over in Banff, Canada, for their engagement shoot. Since that shoot i’d been very much…
