Weddings on private properties are always awesome. Weddings on private properties on tops of hills in Gippsland are even more awesome than that! Not only did Hayley and Andrew have the stunning backdrop you can see in the photos below (and that seem to be everywhere you look in Gippsland) but since the wedding was…
With an email that opened with “Hello there, we are planning a relaxed and intimate wedding in the Carlton gardens”, I knew this was my kind of wedding. A relaxed approach and the couple’s nearest and dearest (rather than 400 of their parent’s friends..!) are the key things I hope for in a day when…
In January, while Australia’s regional areas burned, Melbourne mostly carried on as usual; with the only clue to what was happening a few hundred kilometres away being the bushfire smoke which lingered on and off for a few weeks. Rose & Malte were married at the Melbourne Marriage Registry on Spring Street on a day…
After much searching for a rustic wedding venue that they could completely take over for a day or two and put their own stamp on, Emily & Hugh finally came across a Scout camp near Lilydale. Although the site had never before been used for a wedding, it fitted the bill perfectly. With a hire…
I recently had the pleasure of photographing Betina & Karl’s wedding at Rippon Lea Estate. Held at the end of Autumn, they were blessed with a beautifully calm and sunny day. The day was topped off with some gorgeous light before sunset, which we made the most of as we strolled the grounds prior to…
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…
Kate and Andrew scored a beauty of a Melbourne day for their December wedding. Following an amusing but heartfelt ceremony with family and a truckload of friends at the beautiful Gardens House in Melbourne’s Botanic Gardens, we strolled the Botanic gardens’ shady areas for photos (with the hope of keeping everyone cool!) before taking the…
I really do love working with visitors from out-of-town. It’s always such fun to see your own city from a different angle or through another persons (fresh) eyes. Mostly, when I work with couples who are visiting from interstate in order to get married, they are usually from warmer climes further north such as Brisbane,…
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 (now renamed as Elwood Bathers) on a perfect sunny Sunday afternoon. Following the relaxed ceremony…
