I like hearing stories. Photographing a wedding day is about telling someone else’s story, but I think engagement sessions are about hearing stories; little titbits I collect and piece together, which gives me some insight about the couple, both as individuals and together. It’s nice when we have a chance to talk, because it gives me a idea of what my clients are all about. It is something that I encourage, because I have noticed that people are more relaxed when they are talking about their passions. But I am also genuinely interested in what people have to say. Stories from people I meet inspire me, it inspires me to tell their story.
I really enjoyed getting to know and photograph Annette and Daniel. During our session, we talked and walked, and I photographed them as we explored their local park. They pointed out where they walk their dogs, and we talked about how they enjoy the close proximity of their family, and also the renovations they plan to do to their home. Daniel, a builder by trade, has big plans, of which he speaks of passionately.

It was great to see and work with Jessie and Rhys again, they were a part of
Emma and Ben‘s bridal party. It was a fun wedding and we all had a great day! And Now I’m so excited to be now photographing their wedding. Jessie and Rhys are getting married in the Royal Botanical Gardens with their reception at Terrace Receptions. As their wedding is taking place in beautiful natural garden surrounds, we decided add a contrasting location to take their pre wedding photos in the laneways of Collingwood.
It’s great getting out and about and even though we have worked together at another wedding, an engagement shoot is a great time to get to know each other.
I can’t wait for your wedding day guys, we’re going to have a ball!

One of the things I really enjoy doing is photographing small business clients and consultants. I work a lot with people who are the “face of their business” They realise the importance of having engaging photographs on their websites and marketing material. Often they aren’t all that eager to have their photograph taken but an hour spent with me in front of the camera intertwined with general chit chat about business, life or the weather and a good laugh usually makes people feel relaxed and at ease in front of the camera. The result is engaging, friendly and relaxed photographs which illustrate their personality and business ethos.
Recently, I photographed Jacquie Molloy. Jacquie is an expert in corporate communications. She works with organisations and individuals to support those who are about to move into a new role, those who are in their first year of a senior role, or those who aspire to lead.
It was a pleasure to photograph Jacquie, as she was very clear on what she would use the images for and the image she wanted to portray.
Jacquie also had these lovely things to say about our session:
Lizzy is my photographer of choice! I love the way Lizzy is open to what I want but always aware of what will look best. She manages that ‘line’ very well. Consequently I feel like I am in the best hands and the proof is in the quality of the photos. I also appreciate the extra effort Lizzy takes to make sure I have all the formats I need and is very helpful with meeting sometimes tight deadlines.

I am a self-proclaimed Melbourne ambassador. I love this city and I can’t get enough of it. I don’t think I became the ambassador I currently am until I spent five years living away from Melbourne. This time away made me realise what I had access to but had frequently taken for granted. Despite realising that now, it is still really easy to become complacent about how lucky I am to live here.
There is a running joke between my friends and me that I live in a bubble: a bubble that extends around the inner suburbs of Carlton, Fitzroy, Brunswick and Collingwood. It’s not that I never leave my little bubble, but I do find that my free time can easily be filled without travelling any further afield—coffee at
Cavallero during the week, breakfast at
Mitte in North Fitzroy on Saturday morning, wandering the design markets on
Rose St or the Farmers Market at
Collingwood children’s farm .
One of the great things about my job is that it allows me to leave my north-of-the-Yarra bubble, allowing me to see all that greater Melbourne has to offer. Sometimes, I just hop on the tram, cross the river and hang out in the sun with an interesting couple who like the beach. It’s then that I remind myself that I shouldn’t become complacent.
This is Chris and Dominik, more of their photos and story to come…

Last month I photographed Snezana and Dean’s beautiful wedding day. Snezana and Dean met 10 years ago and the story goes slightly differently depending on who is telling it. Snezana and Dean could not be more relaxed. Their wedding day was no different. They picked the most glorious day in June to get married! At this time of year in the southern hemisphere it gets darker earlier and so their reception could continue on from their ceremony we got together and did some photographs before the ceremony in a local park . Dean was priceless when he first saw Snezana. All he said was “WOW” and well I agree it pretty much sums up how amazing she looked. She is gorgeous, isn’t she!?
Snezana and Dean would like to thank the following people who made their day extra special
* Snez’s Dress: Eleni George in Pascoe Vale
* Brass Band: Opa!
* Kieran, Josh, Maelene and Scott from the Boathouse
* Rings: Canturi (Dean) and Rutherford (me)
* Celebrant: Margaret Collier
And an extra special mention to Snez’s mum who made their cake, Veronica who put together the flowers, both their parents, the groomsmen, the bridesmaids and friends Antonella, Lani, Lisa, Allison & Corina.

Snez and Dean are getting married next month and I’m super pleased that they’ve picked me to photograph their wedding. Recently, we got together on one of those typical four seasons in one day, Melbourne days and photographed them being them for their engagement session. The engagement session is a great chance for us to get to know each other better, chat about the wedding and have a chance to get comfortable in front of the camera.
The weather was typical for Melbourne, it was cold and windy, then the sun came out, then it rained, and then the sun came out! None of this bothered Snez and Dean though! They just joked around and we continued on.
This is a small selection of what we got up too… (there are a few more of Snez here)
I hope you like your images guys! Dean I think you did awesome, there is definitely more than one decent one of you! Snez, Dean and I knew you’d look fab! Hope they fit the “bit different” requirements!

For many years I’ve been meaning to enter the AIPP photographic awards. Every year I’ve made excuses, but this year I said to myself “I’ve got to do it” – so I did! It’s a little bit intimidating for a first timer. Basically, you can enter prints into a variety of categories and these are then judged by five professional photographers. The judging is open to the public and the prints can be commented on or debated about. It’s actually a really interesting process to watch. It was inspiring to not only see some amazing images, but to also hear the opinions of five acclaimed photographers as well.
In the end I did really well! I was named
AIPP Victorian landscape photographer of the year
and was also awarded
highest scoring print in the landscape category!
I also scored a silver award for a wedding image. I have posted all of the winning images below.

Jess and Chris are getting married this Weekend! They both live in Dubai but Chris is from the UK and Jess is from Melbourne and they’ve chosen to have their wedding in Melbourne. Yea, for Melbourne! They both have a fondness for the beach so it made sense that we do their engagement session photographs there. They also mentioned they wanted Melbourne icons to feature heavily in their photographs because of their special decision to have their wedding in Melbourne.
Despite the crazy winds, we managed to get some great shots. Jess’s sister, Rachael also came along “just for laughs”, but got roped into a few shots as well!
I am looking forward to photographing what promises to be their super fun and relaxed wedding this weekend!

I can honestly say that no two days are ever the same for me.
It isn’t every day that you get the opportunity to get right up close to snakes, lizards, cockroaches, stick insects, birds, possums, crocodiles and lizards – but I recently met someone who does!
Last week I worked with Josh from Reptile Encounters to photograph his collection of animals for his marketing material. The images will be used both on the website and in his brochures. Reptile Encounters run wildlife presentations for kids parties, schools and corporate events. I can see why the shows are a hit with both kids and adults – you can’t help but be amazed when you see these creatures up close. I grew up going to the Melbourne Zoo as regularly as most kids go to the local park (thanks to our FOTZ membership!) but it was nothing like seeing all these creatures up close and being able to touch them.

I thought I’d blog Bill and Irene’s wedding story in Parts… so here is one part, not necessarily part one, but one part of a truly amazing day!
I was thrilled when Irene and Bill thought it was a good idea to do some location photographs at Abbotsford Convent. They were looking for something a bit different then the well utilised Parliament steps and wanted to avoid the chaos of the city. I love Abbotsford convent and can be often found in my free time having coffee at the bakery cafe, lunch at lentil as anything or browsing the design markets. It’s an absolutely stunning location with a great variety of photographic opportunities. All the photographs in this post were taken at Abbotsford convent.
More about Irene and Bill’s wedding soon….
Their engagment photography session can be seen here.
