Sarah & Steve’s wedding at Gum Gully Farm, Silvan

When I first met Sarah & Steve they mentioned that their wedding venue was going to be quite a unique place.
They were right! Gum Gully Farm, near Silvan in the Dandenong Ranges is nestled in the most serene and picturesque valley you can imagine and has the feel of somewhere quite special. With goats and ducks wandering around it seems more like a farm than a wedding venue!

Family built and run, the buildings ooze charm and have plenty of quirky elements, alongside touches of modern features. The brand new wedding chapel is tastefully designed and blends in with it’s surroundings easily.

Nearby there are plenty of options for outdoor photography for those couples who prefer to get out into nature.

Since Sarah & Steve’s wedding I’ve taken 2 more bookings for couples getting married at the venue so I’m looking forward to spending plenty more time there!

Are you thinking of asking a friend to be your wedding photographer?

Don’t get me wrong, I’m in the business of booking people for my wedding photography services, and whilst I’m not a ‘hard sell’ kind of guy with loads of horror stories to scare you into spending money, this article is one of the best reads I’ve had in ages.

Why?
It’s honest, and at times brutally so.
It’s sad. You feel sorry for the bride – she doesn’t have any wedding photos she wants to look at again.
Lastly, it’s great advice – have a read before you think about booking a friend as your Melbourne wedding photographer.

If you are set on booking a friend as your photographer, then it’s a good idea to suggest an engagement shoot to them to check both sides are happy with the arrangement and you’re on the same page.

New review for Melbourne Wedding Photography service

Thanks to Elli & Matt for a lovely review on TrueLocal this morning:

We wanted professional quality photos with as many relaxed, unposed candid moments as possible for our wedding. After seeing Simon’s work and immediately after meeting him we both agreed to book him without meeting any other photographers. Simon was an absolute pleasure to deal with on the day, he kept us relaxed, handled alot of kids and inclement weather with aplomb and our photos turned out beautifully. We would both absolutely recommend him to anyone wanting to cherish the memories of their big day.
