Cafe Birkenhead Wedding – Eddie and Julie – St Mary’s Balmain and
After some fun at the e-session in February, it was time to get (not so) serious for the Big Day. After cracking it up with the boys at Eddie’s place, I drove to Julie’s where getting-ready mayhem was well underway. After the ceremony in the breathtaking St Mary’s Cathedral in Balmain, we chased the fast-fading winter light at the edge of Balmain with some magnificent city views and partied on at Sydney’s best kept secret location: Cafe Birkenhead. Eddie looking super...

Scott and Michelle have been living in the UK for the past few years. They found and booked me over the internet after checking out my website. Over a year later, just a few days before the wedding, I got to meet them for the first time. They were really down-to-earth and friendly and were really excited that their online planning had finally come full circle and that all the pieces for their wedding were falling into place. Michelle’s gorgeous dress: The girls and their dresses were so...
Read Moree-session – Samir and Pratiksha
Last Sunday I was supposed to meet Samir and Pratiksha for their pre-wedding shoot in the dramatic rocky beachside of La Perouse. My heart sank as I awoke to torrential rain, so I called and changed the location to Sydney city. I’d originally planned to shoot in QVB and Martin place, but I was secretly hoping to discover some interesting back alleys or indoor areas to shoot in (for those of you following my blog you’ll know I like to try something a bit different). I was not...
Read Moree-session – Kurt and Sheryl – Cabarita Park
Last weekend Kurt and Sheryl trekked up to Cabarita Park in Sydney’s Inner West for their e-session. I’m flying to Fiji in October to shoot their wedding and I couldn’t be more excited. They were instantly relaxed in front of the camera and we found ourselves chatting like old friends as we strolled through the park. The late afternoon sun filtered through the dense trees creating a patchwork of beautiful light on the grass: Playing around in the autumn leaves: Rich blue...

Read MoreShangri La Wedding – William and Anna
Anna and William are one of those down-to-earth couples that you just feel like being around. Their wedding at the iconic Shangri-La hotel in Sydney’s Rocks was just the way a wedding should be – a joyful gathering of family and friends to celebrate the union of two families. Anna looked radiant: William and Anna couldn’t keep their eyes (and hands) off each other! The show-stopping view from Altitude Bar at the top of the Shangri-La: Some gorgeous night...
Read Moree-session – Eddie and Julie
Groovy young couple Eddie and Julie are getting married in June in Balmain. They opted to go with the same area for their e-session to get a feel for the photogenic spots. I was blown away by the myriad textured walls, old trees and views from the park at the end of Darling Street. There was even a huge public tree-house built in the park – I cannot wait to get these two kids running around in their bridal wear inside that place. Here are some cool photos from Eddie and Julie’s...

With just 30 people in attendance, young Adelaide couple Steve and Peta’s wedding was party from start to finish! The girls managed to crack me up with their uninhibited (and slightly crass) jokes in the Novotel hotel room, and mum and dad joined in the fun. The ceremony was held in the beautiful Chinese Gardens of Friendship in Darling Harbour. Following a fun mini-train ride along the water (getting a whole lot of attention on the way), we stopped by Cargo Bar on Kings Street Wharf for...
Read MoreBowral Wedding – Graeme and Natasha – Briars Country Lodge
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...
