Ben & Karen’s wedding at the Capital Theatre in Bendigo, had something for everyone! A dog, luxurious beards, a hot glue gun toting mother of the bride (I’m still very impressed by that!), an enthusiastic bridal party, groomsman in his undies, tears, a sunset and a great hard rubbish find prior to the ceremony. I…
Victoria & Sam were married at Montsalvat, the unique artists colony in Eltham. Not quite Melbourne and not quite the Yarra Valley, Montsalvat exists in it’s only little world and feels a thousand miles from the nearby suburbs and city. I remember visiting when I first arrived in Melbourne from London and felt like I’d…
What a cracker my last wedding of the summer was, and didn’t Melbourne turn on the weather! Bre & Daniel’s wedding ceremony was held on the beach at Elwood, just in front of their reception venue Sails on the Bay on a perfect sunny Sunday afternoon. Following the relaxed ceremony with friend and family we…
When I scout out a wedding venue for photography locations to use with the couple during their portrait session, I always keep the weather in mind. I usually have a plan for good weather and then formulate a Plan B with undercover options or umbrellas should there be any rain or high winds. I was…
Loz & Nath chose the perfect wedding venue for a 35 degree day – Mountain Goat brewery! Yup, somewhere that serves great cold beer. Winner! Following a refreshing ale and a ceremony conducted by the always amusing Anthony Cribbes, we ventured outside for a few photos around Richmond’s alleys and backstreets before returning to Mountain…
With the plan to keep proceedings low key and fun (ie. let’s not let the photographer drag us around the city for hours and skip straight to the party) we didn’t have a great amount of time for photos following Alison & Paul’s winter wedding ceremony in Port Melbourne. With a ticking clock and just…
Wedding photography isn’t just about the people, it’s also about the little details that accompany them and I really enjoy finding the hidden treasures that await me when I shoot a wedding. Some of the best places to unearth these treasures are at the home of the bride or groom or their parent’s home. It’s…
The last wedding I photographed in 2017 was on a private property in a beautiful hilltop location in Gippsland with views out to the ocean. Glorious sunshine, a light breeze and a field full of tall swaying grass made the perfect wedding photography location at sunset. Thanks to all the couples who trusted me to…
Gay friendly photographer, same sex photographer and same sex wedding specialist are all terms I’ve seen used rather alot lately by wedding photographers and other suppliers wanting to grab a slice of the same sex weddings that are going to be held in the coming months. I’ve also received numerous phone calls from advertising directories…
…and the groom somehow acquires a clutch purse and 4 small dogs! Having finished the portraits of the couple at the Botanical Gardens and ACDC Lane I thought it would just be a short walk up Flinders Lane to Rachel & Rhys’ wedding venue White Lane. Rhys had other ideas! I really get a kick…
