Picnic wedding, Studley Park

Ainsley & Lucas decided upon a low key and casual picnic wedding in Studley Park. Held near the Boathouse with their nearest and dearest, it was held midweek on a beautiful summer day in early January.  Glorious sunshine and a light breeze made it perfect picnic weather – ideal for sitting under a tree, quaffing…

Meadowbank Receptions

If you’re searching for a wedding venue on the north side of Melbourne you’ve probably already discovered, isn’t exactly brimming over with quality wedding venues.  Sure, you have the huge barn sized venues in Epping, and several reception centres in Essendon, but in between all that, the choice is incredibly limited. This is where Meadowbank…

It sounds too cheap!

If a wedding photography package sounds too cheap….it quite possibly is! Occasionally I get couples requesting a price list and then returning a week later saying that they like my photos but X Studio or Studio Y are offering the same wedding photography but at half the price. Can I possibly match it?  Of course I…

Wet weather wedding photography locations in Melbourne, 2024

What if it rains on my wedding day? I wasn’t planning on writing a post on the heavens opening and lashing you with rain on your wedding day, but came across this image as I was archiving some previous wedding photos and thought I might add it to my Plan B wet weather options list….

The classic appeal of Quat Quatta

Selecting a suitable venue for your wedding can make the difference between a good day and a fantastic day.  If you are on the search for a classic and historic building in Melbourne where you can hold your wedding ceremony and reception, Quat Quatta is one of the few names that will constantly be suggested;…

Choosing the right videographer

I’ve worked with plenty of videographers whilst covering weddings and one of the wedding videographers that I often recommend to my clients looking for someone to create a film of their day is Chris Grose.  Mainly because he is a proper gent! I love working with him for a few reasons; the first being that he…

Shien & Dec, Red Hill Estate Wedding

As regular visitors would know, I’m not afraid of a smelly cheese!   When I lived in London my French neighbours owned (the now legendary) Tupperware container (the size of which could house a small child) that was always brought out after dinner.  The pungent waft from this plastic warehouse was like nothing London had ever…

Yes, I love the Yarra Valley too!

As much as I love working in and around Melbourne, I also really love getting out to the Yarra Valley for weddings. Perhaps it’s because it feels far removed from Melbourne and creates the feeling that you’re on a day out or a little holiday from the city. Maybe those rolling hills and vine upon vine…

Twinkly lights

This is a shot from Sarah & Mike’s wedding at the Substation in Newport.  If you haven’t come across it before, the venue is a really good ‘blank canvas’ space for those of you wanting to do your own thing in an alternative space. Sarah & Mike decorated the venue themselves, and a cracking job…

I love an amble through Melbourne

The great thing about a weekday wedding ceremony is that it’s generally pretty relaxed. This one was no different. Combined with the fact that Lauren & Josh’s wedding was planned just a month in advance seemed to make their’s even more relaxed still! With an early afternoon ceremony at the Melbourne registry I wandered some…
