I've been working away on Sarah-Jane’s and Adrian's wedding photographs and I know they are super eager to see some photos, so I thought I'd post some today on the blog. Sarah-Jane and Adrian got married last month on a very warm day in February (which is hard to imagine considering the stormy days we've [...]

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. [...]

As soon as I met Toby and Cally I knew that I wanted to photograph their wedding. Our initial meeting was all laughs and lots of random flowing conversation. Needless to say I was pretty stoked when they picked me as their wedding photographer. These photos are from their engagement photo session (e-session). An e-session is [...]

I am a big fan of Melbourne. I grew up here, but I don't think I really appreciated Melbourne until I went away for a while. Five years away can make you realise what you had and didn't fully appreciate. It's the small things. My friends in Queensland think that Melbourne weather is madness: Why [...]

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 [...]

In business there is often talk of who your ideal client is. I feel that I am really lucky because my current clients are already my ideal clients! I have noticed there are often commonalities between the couples who choose me to photograph their wedding day. I respect and enjoy their company and feel that [...]

Recently, I photographed Ellen and Tom for their pre-wedding photo shoot (e-session). They picked Melbourne University for their photo shoot because they both met while at Melbourne Uni and are both continuing their studies there - plus it is a beautiful and varied location for photos! I am usually pretty resistant to using the word "cute", but these guys [...]

I can't believe I haven't had a chance to blog these photos from Allision and Barney's e-session until now. It might have something to do with the fact that I've hardly been able to find the time to eat lately!! We originally planned to do their e-session at Fairfield Boathouse but then we got to chatting; [...]

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 [...]

Last month Jovana and Davor got married in the beautiful Yarra Valley Region at Hazeldene. Jovana and Davor hired a house on a private estate to hold their ceremony and reception. The house had multiple levels, and 8 bedrooms and over looked it's own private lake! It was lovely to photograph their families [...]

Last weekend I photographed Michelle and Simon's wedding on the bank of the Yarra. It seems that Michelle and Simon will have a very luck filled marriage, as it rained a fair bit on their wedding day. Despite the fact that they came very close to having to move their ceremony across the river to [...]

A beautiful photo of a bride taken recently in the Yarra Valley.

There seems to be a tendency these days to move away from tradition, especially during weddings.  I think it is almost a shame, especially if you are from a culture which has long standing traditions intertwined within it. I think that one of the reasons this wedding was really special was the wish for the bride [...]

Recently, I travelled to Japan and photographed Yoshie and Andy's wedding. It was an amazing experience. Andy is Australian and met his beautiful bride Yoshie while working at a National Institute in Okazaki, Japan.   The whole day was carefully planned and really thoughtful. Yoshie and Andy had gone to great lengths to make sure everyone [...]

Since I am working on numerous things at the moment, I thought I'd blog a photo from Simon and Michelle's e-session from the weekend. Simon and Michelle are absolutely lovely so it was an absolute pleasure to spend an afternoon walking around the botanic gardens with them on Sunday. I am really looking [...]

It will most likely be a little quiet on this blog for the next couple of weeks as I'll be in Japan.  I am going to photograph a wedding and I've tacked a holiday on to the trip as well.  Many years ago, I lived in Japan so I am really excited to going back [...]

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... Wedding Photography in Melbourne

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 [...]

Last weekend I photographed Jovana and Davor's engagement session at Queens Park in Moonee Ponds.  Despite it being a very warm afternoon the wind was out in force.  However, we managed to find some sheltered areas throughout the park and didn't get blown away! Jovana and Devor's wedding will be in the Yarra Valley later on [...]

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 [...]

Last weekend I managed to escape the city streets for a weekend at the Yarra Valley. I find myself working most weekends so it is a very rare and very exciting opportunity. But having friends visiting from Queensland seemed like as good a reason as any to take a long weekend. And the fact that [...]

Ben and Jessamy's wedding has recently been featured on Rock 'n Roll Bride. Rock n' Roll Bride is based in the UK but features weddings from all over the world which are unique and reflect the individuality of the couple.  It's a fantastic source of inspiration if you are getting married.

Recently, a guest at a wedding I photographed wrote a loverly write up about me and the photographs I took on her blog.. Jay from Finki is actually a local Melbourne artist who makes beautiful handmade things which are defiantly worth checking out.  Visit her website or blog to see some of her beautiful creations.  I absolutely [...]

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 [...]

So as I mentioned in my previous post, the amazingly talented husband and wife team, Peter and Emily from Living Lens came along on an engagement session that I photographed recently. The video attached illustrates a session with Lizzy C Photography and showcases Emily and Peter's stunning work.  See the photos from this session here.

I've been a bit behind with this blog, I've been very busy working on jobs for my commercial clients of late. However, I thought this engagement session with Liz and Nathan could rejuvenate the blog!  Liz and Nathan got all rugged up and braved the Melbourne cold for this photo session with me! They were [...]

Despite the massive thunderstorm and potential flooding, in true Melbourne style the weather turned around completely for Ben and Jessamy's wedding! Talking of true Melbourne style, check out the bride and groom! Melissa Jacob from the ceremony store conducted Ben and Jessamy's relaxed and quite amusing ceremony at the St Kilda botanic gardens which was followed by [...]

I spend a lot of time working at the computer editing images and doing post production work... I thought I'd share with you an image from the Pattinson Wedding, which I am working on right now!  

Anna and Clint were married at St Peter and Paul Church last Saturday.  It was a beautiful wedding followed by an elegant and classic reception at Ripponlea Estate. A clear message that came through in the ceremony and the speeches was the importance of family and friends to Anna and Clint. It is easy to see why.. [...]

Jessamy and Ben's e-session took place the other evening around St Kilda. They both have fond connections with the area and wanted the urban landscape to be a part of their photographs.  I love the Urban landscape that makes Melbourne "Melbourne", so naturally I was thrilled with the idea! To make the whole experience perfect, [...]

And welcome to the fist post of my new blog.  I hope you enjoy the photos in their new large format glory!  Feel free to leave comments at the end of any of my posts. I'd love to hear from you! Last weekend I travelled up to the Sunny Coast of Queensland for Natalie & Danny's [...]

Wow, what can I say. It was such a pleasure to photograph Claire & Dane's wedding at Studley Park Boathouse. A beautiful & lovely couple, an amazing and fun group of family and friends combined with a relaxed ceremony is such a winning combination. Don't forget to vote for your favourite photo (at the end of this post) or become a fan of [...]

It was such a pleasure to photograph Claire and Dane for their pre-wedding photo session. Their casual and fun attitude was extremely infectious, resulting in some great fun photos.  However, you be the judge... you can also vote for your favourite image! All weddings that I photograph include an engagement photography session like this one.                  

While looking up some information on sunset times for a photo shoot of a series of buildings I am doing, I thought...this is valuable information I should share with my wedding clients.  Lighting is an extemely important factor to photography. Some which we can control (flash etc), some which we can't (the sun).  It is very [...]

So if you are wondering why I haven't made a post lately... it's because last weekend I got married!! My beautiful clients have been asking to see photos, and have sent lovely messages of congratulations so I thought I better deliver! The wedding was all about the jazz age and many of the guests, could have steped [...]

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 [...]
