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…
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 Melbourne 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…
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 only had a short amount of time for photos following Alison & Paul’s winter wedding ceremony in Port Melbourne. With a ticking clock and just…
Flinders Yacht Club on the Mornington Peninsula was the beautiful location that Kirsten & Shane and chose for their marriage ceremony and reception. Kirsten readied herself along with her best friend and children at a nearby cottage in Flinders village before arriving at the venue in a sky blue VW Kombi from Peninsula Kombi Bus…
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 this year 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…
