Today I bring you a session with lots of laughs, a couple of emergency umbrellas, two bicycles and some very cool yellow billy buttons.
It was a bit of a drizzly day in Melbourne when we headed out to photograph Sara and Nima for their pre-wedding (engagement) photo session. Not that it was any deterrent for Nima and Sara, who seem to have fun in whatever they do!
I am really looking forward to photographing their wedding later this month. They’ve got some great creative ideas which they are going to incorporate to really personalise their wedding day. It promises to be a very fun and relaxed day.

When I think about Toby and Cally, it always make me smile. They are two of the most lovely people with an abundance of energy. I still remember so clearly when I first met the two of them. We had so many laughs and and conversations which wandered off on different tangents! I knew their wedding day was going to be great and they sure didn’t disappoint…
I can’t even start to put into words how their beautiful day unfolded but I think Cally’s mum Kate does a pretty good job in this beautiful email that she sent me.
From the mother of the bride,
Hi Lizzy – I just received C and T’s engagement session photos that I ordered. Thanks so much – they are wonderful – so looking forward to seeing the wedding pics! I have had many people say to me that you seemed wonderful on the wedding day. I must say that I myself hardly noticed you were there – and I presume that is the highest accolade – that you were “invisible” and yet noticed enough that we have received commendations on your presence! Wasn’t Cally and Toby’s wedding just the most joyous event? The sheer emotional joy she exhibited – and his joy was just as evident, if more reined in – enabled all the guests to let go emotionally. I don’t think I have ever seen so many men cry at once! I recently asked Cally if going back to every day life was a let-down, and she said no, just being married was just too exciting. So I feel that in this day and age of trying to achieve the perfect wedding, because Cally and Toby actually wanted to achieve the state of being married, rather than wanting a “perfect wedding”, they did actually have a “perfect wedding”. They are extremely happy, and excitedly making plans for their future. Once again, thanks for your great work. I’m sure we will all be thrilled with the wedding pics. Thanks, Kate.
A beautiful personal touch were the cushions made by Cally’s mum, each was individual and were given to the guests as a take home gift. She also made the elephants for Toby and Cally, they have a bit of a thing for elephants!

Ian and Victoria’s wedding was a lovely way to start the year. It was a truly beautiful and joyous occasion with so much laughter and many beautiful connections. It was immediately obvious that this was going to be a very fun wedding. As we stood outside of Victoria’s hotel room, full of anticipation for the day ahead of us, all we could hear was raucous laughter coming from the hotel suite. Victoria opened the door to a room of people laughing, talking and enjoying champagne. She personally welcomed us in with warm smiling eyes and an infectious grin of excitement – that was the mood and feel for the whole day.
Ian and Victoria had their wedding ceremony and reception at Ripponlea which is a beautiful estate in inner city Melbourne. Ian and Victoria have a fond connection with Ripponlea – it is so close to their home they consider it an extension of their backyard!

I think the best thing about summer, are the long days and the beautiful afternoon light.
Recently, we took advantage of a long summer evening and photographed Ian and Victoria’s e-session in the fading light of the afternoon at the exhibition gardens. I really like the exhibition gardens, so much that we took some of my own wedding photographs there and I did a fashion shoot there about this time last year. It might seem a bit cliche but there is a great variety of things to photograph. I always completely avoid the stock wedding photographs such as the runway of trees leading up to the exhibition building and go for abstract museum architecture, the charming and established trees or the beautiful grand doorways- as you who have worked with me, know how I love a doorway.
Ian and Victoria are lovely, and will be getting married at Ripponlea Estate next month. They refer to Ripponlea as part of their backyard as they live so close to it. I think it will be great to take their wedding photos in a place they have such a fond connection too. They have also thought out carefully how to make sure their wedding guests are really catered for on their wedding day. They even picked their wedding date so as it most considerate for people who need to travel to their wedding.
I am really looking forward to photographing their wedding next month!

I think it is fascinating to watch and photograph what couples do before their wedding ceremony. For the girls it is usually a cycle of planned activities, hair, makeup, putting on the dress, talking their parents through the emotions. But for the boys it is usually completely different…

Over the weekend I met with Irene and Bill to discuss their wedding and take their engagement session photographs. We met at the
Fairfield Boathouse and discussed their wedding plans, our favourite breakfast jaunts and lots of other random thoughts over coffee. It was raining but it didn’t seem to put anyone off as the boathouse was bustling with people and the atmosphere was cozy and happening. Despite the intermittent rain, it seemed to clear just as we were ready to head out and the sun actually peeked through for a few of our shots and we had a great session. Irene and Bill are a real hoot, they weren’t phased at all by suggestions “cheekily of course” to sit on the wet ground or in puddles!… I can’t wait to photograph their Great Greek Wedding Extravaganza in September!
Bill and Irene actually chose the Fairfield Boathouse for their session because they actually went there on their first date! They spent much time chatting on the park bench in the first photograph.

Last weeekend, I photographed Liz and Nathan’s wedding at
Rosebank Receptions. Liz and Nathan were an absolute pleasure to photograph, they are such a lovely, polite and beautiful couple and it just radiates from them. Liz looked absolutely stunning! She has an infectiously natural smile and to top it off she is also extremely talented. Liz put together all the flowers for their wedding including the bouquets, corsages and centre pieces! She even went the extra mile and made extra centre pieces so each female guest could take one home.
It’s the personal touches like these that make each wedding unique. Liz and Nathan’s wedding beautifully reflected these personal touches. Both Liz and Nathan’s family have vintage cars which were used as the wedding cars and Nathan’s lovingly restored MG even got to come along. The rosebank homestead fitted in beautifully with the cars as it was built in approximately the same era. Liz also wore her grandmother’s ring and added succulents from her mother’s garden to the bouquets and corsages making them that extra bit more special!

To some, the term “trash the dress” may sound scary or even a little crazy! But basically a trash the dress session with me can be as crazy as you want it to be.
Basically, you don’t have to literally “trash your wedding dress”, it might be just a photo session where you can be slightly more daring then you could be on your wedding day.
It gives you a chance to do some photos which might get your dress just a little dirty right through to soaking wet. It’s completely up to you, on how far you go!
Some people say that it can act as a de-stressor after being a bride , others look at it as just great fun and a chance to get some really artistic and different photographs.
Don’t worry, if you are a little bit timid, and don’t want to go “all the way” contact me and I’ll talk to you about how great dry cleaners can be!
We can arrange trash the dress photo sessions with just the bride or the bride and groom.
