Southern Highlands Wedding – Noa and Steve – Eling Forest Winery
Eling Forest Winery in the Southern Highlands held a special significance for Steve and Noa; Noa’s great-great-grandfather was the schoolmaster at what is now the winery’s cellar door. Their wedding was an intimate celebration with no bridal party and less than 40 guests.

As night fell over the breathtaking scenery, Noa and...

Gisella designed her own dress, with a long, flowing train and intricate lace work. She even designed her bouquet: I stopped by Sebastien’s rented home in Robertson to find him and his family exchanging excited banter in French. Sebastien is such a romantic; I asked him,...

I love the countryside. The air is fresh and the wide open spaces are therapeutic. One of my favourite drives is through the Southern Highlands of NSW (south of Sydney), so when Graeme and Natasha asked me to photograph their wedding at Briar’s Country Lodge in Bowral, I jumped at the chance. They had booked the whole lodge out for their guests, most of whom flew in from England to spend a few days at the lodge. Come the wedding day all of the guests had already had a chance to mingle and...
