Elizabeth and Tim’s Hunter Valley wedding at Bimbadgen Palmers Lane had style written all over it. From the Black Tie suits the boys wore to the Vintage Classic Cars that brought the girls to the venue and the Champagne Tower that followed the ceremony.

Danielle and Cody were after a chilled, fun and romantic day with their family and friends. They kept the styling to a minimum, embracing the fact that the venue already looks great, and chose to invest in the things that were most important to them. One of those things was recording the day! For the first time, I arranged a package that included both photography and videography.

After ten years of marriage I created a special & unique wedding album to showcase our memories and milestones since the day we tied the knot. There can be no truer testament to a product than when a service provider wants to buy it for themselves. This is very much the case with the Wedding Albums I create.

On a crisp cold winter’s morning in June, we were off on a little getaway adventure in Country Victoria. I had planned to surprise Chris for his 40th birthday, with what I thought would be the ultimate honeymoon getaway!

There is something very special about seeing one perfect moment proudly taking its place on your wall or being able to hold a set of prints in your hands and pass them amongst your loved ones. So where should you get your Wedding Photos printed? Is there a difference between print labs? Who do the pro’s use?

Vanessa and Steve’s wedding fell on May the Fourth so they had to have a few little nods to the epic movie franchise. Gracelands is a very unique, modern Wedding venue on the Central Coast, which combines industrial with elegant and relaxed.

To say I was excited to photograph Laura and Andy’s Yarramalong Hillview wedding would be a bit of an understatement. You know when you meet people and you just get that feeling that they’re cool, they know what they want, they’re chilled about it and it’ll just happen… Well, that’s what I felt with these guys.

Lara and Kevin held one heck of a weekend away for their Wedding in Kangaroo Valley in the NSW Southern Highlands. They stayed with their closest friends and family at the Kangaroo Valley Bush Retreat. Miles from the closest town, they had the entire rural retreat to themselves. It really was idyllic.

There are fun and joyous weddings…and then there are African Weddings! In the middle of December last year, Farisayi’s friends from Zimbabwe awoke the sleepy folks on MacMasters Beach as they led her towards her future with Karl. Dancing and singing as a group, it was the best procession into a wedding I have ever seen. Slowly, they made their way along the beach, swaying their hips and calling their arrival. Everyone was certainly paying attention.
