The lovely Mike and Mikki celebrated their wedding in a beautiful and relaxed lunchtime reception at The Bridge Hotel in Mordialloc. It was so nice for Mikki to be able to share this special day with her family and close friends, who came all the way fr...

I think Jessie summed up her and Rhys's wedding day perfectly when she said "oh boy, what a great day it was". I'd also like to add relaxed, happy and picture-perfect. Jessie had a great vision for their wedding day; working in her own wedding styling ...

It's a unique experience to approach what feels like a sprawling secluded property just moments after driving through bustling suburbia. On approaching Kara and Emerson's wedding at Emu Bottom Homestead, we drove down the driveway framed by established ta...

When I was putting this post together, I couldn't help but smile to myself as I remembered back to Anton and Emma's Wedding day. I couldn't help but break into a grin as I looked over the photos of Anton smiling broadly throughout the day: the genuine ela...

Last month we travelled up to the Grampians to photograph Toni and Drew's wedding. We spent the weekend at a beautiful homestead called Allanvale. Allanvale is just outside of Ararat, near the cute little town of Great Western. What a special wedding it w...

‘Lots of fun’ and ‘a little bit quirky’ are the phrases that I'd use to describe Kerrie and Eric. We all had a fantastic day hanging out in the Yarra Valley. There were plenty of laughs and not an ounce of stress. Kerrie was a ball of energy, espe...

I meet and work with genuinely lovely people, even though I work in an industry commonly known for its Bridezillas! I can honestly say that I've never met even one. Lorissa, especially, was what I'd call the picture of calm and happiness on her wedding da...

Liz and Ben have been together for many years, and were recently married at Heidi Museum of Modern Art. It was a beautiful, intimate day, shared with family and close friends. If rain on your wedding day does indeed bring good luck, then Liz and Ben ha...

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 indivi...

We were very excited and pleased to see Emma and Ben's Wedding featured in the current Real Weddings Magazine. The annual style guide is a beautiful publication which features Emma and Ben's Wedding in magazine glossy goodness! It was pretty cool to s...

Pure happiness is an amazing emotion. One of my favourite things about photographing weddings is having the opportunity to capture that emotion on film. Sally was just an illustration of "pure happiness" on her wedding day. She was just so beautifully exp...

Bonnie and Bill are truly lovely people and I feel honoured to have played a small part in their wedding day. They clearly have a deep respect for one another and the people around them, and their wedding day was evidence of this; they thought carefully a...

Some of you might not know this about me, but I spent a few years living in Queensland. It's where I met my husband and a lot of good friends, so I have a bit of a soft spot for Queensland; especially a place called Toowoomba. So for all of you that think...

It was an absolute pleasure to photograph Rachael and Brad's wedding. They are both just lovely. Rachael is extremely thoughtful and polite. She didn't have a single frazzled moment  throughout what was a truly joyous wedding day. She just laughed, and e...

What divine weather we've been treated to in Melbourne lately. Warm days with blue skies. The type of weather that makes you want to spend every second lapping up the glorious sunshine. Picnics in the park, laughs with friends on the patio, frisbee on the...

I was excited to hear why we would be meeting for our photo shoot at the train station. I was sure there was going to be an interesting story behind this slightly unusual request. And I wasn't disapointed. Kara and Emerson met in highschool while dawdl...

When I asked Toni and Drew why they'd picked the Grampians to get married, Toni's replied "we are closet country people!" Neither Toni nor Drew grew up in the country but they both have a fond affiliation with the country. So it just made sense to them to...

Anthea and Jim. Timeless. Classic. Sweet. Anthea and Jim are just lovely, together and as individuals. Anthea and Jim met through two very special people in their lives who thought they'd be perfect together. Obviously they knew them both very well as ...

Earlier this year I photographed Erin and Mike's wedding at St Patrick's in Lilydale and Yering Meadows. The day started off with lots of family and a little bit of chaos at Erin's parents home. But you could hope for nothing less with four very cute and ...

This cold and dreary weather has me reminiscing about warmer days. Moira and David were married last month on a day the sun surprisingly came out to play. They were married as the sun set over the bay in a beautifully relaxed ceremony at sails on the ...

This may be a my biggest blog post ever, but this was a big day! Mary tells me that their wedding day started when she and the girls woke at 3:30 a.m. to begin preparations. You wouldn’t know it though! I’ve never met such a bright and chipper gro...

What fun in Williamstown. Laura and David couldn't have chosen a more relaxed spot for their wedding. The guests were easy-going, the sun came out to play and the drinks were flowing. Laura's charm and quick wit and David's no-worries attitude kept a co...

The best thing about working with lovely people is that they surround themselves with lovely people. Tim and Alison are both lovely, fun and relaxed, so it was no surprise that their family and friends were welcoming, fun and relaxed too. Tim and Alison l...

If you've got a keen eye, you may think you've seen Rachael on this blog before. She has in fact featured a couple of times alongside her sister Jess, as I photographed Jess and Chris's wedding last year! She came along to their engagement session and was...

Recently, I met up with Mary and Hoi in St Kilda, it was a fairly breezy cold day but the light came out to play... so we got these great shots while wandering around... Mary and Hoi are getting married at Rippon Lea Estate next month. I am really look...

Roses, laughter, food, family and celebration were themes resonating through Renae and Darren’s wedding day. Renae and Darren were married at Highbank in Kyneton and held their reception at the Royal George Hotel. Despite the heavy (and almost tor...

I met Alison and Tim for the first time on Monday. However, we first spoke many many months ago when they called from Singapore and I chatted to them from my studio in Collingwood.  Alison and Tim live in Singapore but are getting married in Melbourne on...

Michaela and Matt live in London but came back to Melbourne to get married. They had a really sweet and personalised ceremony at St Carthage's Church followed by a relaxed reception at Walter's Wine Bar at Southbank. We didn't venture far for their photos...

I like Sara and Nima's style. They didn't get caught up in the need to be conventional, to follow tradition or add a lot of extra faff. They just picked out what was important to them and went with it. Sara and Nima had always planned to meet before th...

I think it is really nice when I meet a couple who’ve been together for a while but have decided to formalise their commitment: to have a wedding. There is so much to celebrate. The speeches are always really genuine and heartfelt, and there are always ...

So I was thinking “how I will I title this wedding?”  Will I call it Emma and Ben’s stylish wedding, or their vintage wedding, quirky, cute, Australian or homestead wedding? But I couldn’t put a style to it. Other than it was “Emma and Ben’...

Sometimes I find it really hard to write the words that I publish along with the photos I‘ve taken. As I am first and foremost a photographer, I tell stories with pictures, not words. I think I find it hard because I need to find a way to expre...

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 (eng...

Clare and Shane live in London but they returned to Clare's hometown of Terang, Victoria to get married. Terang is a small town about 45kms from Warrnambool and a few hours’ drive from Melbourne. For a tiny town, Terang has some beautiful historic bu...

Weddings are all about the moments. I never thought of myself as a “softy”, and most people who know me would probably laugh if I told them about the moments that make my heart flutter or the times I laugh aloud at a wedding. But at every wedding I...

And this is Laura and David.... One thing is fairly clear. They enjoy each other's company. I enjoy their company too... ...

Fiona and Dylan's rainy day engagement session was featured on Polka dot bride on Friday. If you don't know about Polka dot bride and you are planning a wedding make sure you check it out as it is full of beautiful wedding inspiration. Recently, I went...

Chris and Dominik. At first glance, it is obvious that they are happy, happy in each other’s company. Chris is Greek and Dominik is Polish and Croatian. They both love the beach. What really made an impression on me was how much respect they had for...

Over the weekend I met up with Mel, Ravi... and Madison! Mel and Ravi are getting married next year at the beautiful Werribee Mansion! This session was lots of fun, and Madison (their dog) even cooperated for a few photographs. (He wasn't too happy, ho...

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. T...

Ellen and Tom got married at St Cuthberts and had their reception at Glen Harrow. Glen Harrow is a 25 acre property in the dandenongs which is beautifully rustic and includes a collection of cottages with beautiful vintage decor. Ellen and Tom are not...

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�...

Jess and Lewis were recently married at the Melbourne Royal Botanic Gardens. Jess was fantastically organised in a relaxed kind of way. It was great, everything ran perfectly! Jess and Lewis were an absolute pleasure to photograph and their bridal party w...

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 e...

When I first met Allison and Barney, it was instantly obvious how different their personalities were but how well they complimented each other. Their wedding day was a fantastic reflection of their personalities, connection to each other and to their gues...

Today, I have another beautiful February wedding to post.  Jess and Chris got married at St Carthage's in Parkville, and had their wedding reception at Sails on the Bay in Elwood. We took some photographs at Melbourne University and on the beach around S...

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 ...

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 sen...

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 p...

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 thi...

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...

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 ...

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 beautif...

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-sess...

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....

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 pr...

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 t...

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 reas...

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...

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...

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 ...

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 ...

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 Abbotsfor...

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 blo...

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...

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...

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 insp...

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.  V...

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! ...

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 ...

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 Melbo...

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 stor...

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 ...

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 nat...

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 Queens...

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 combi...

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...

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 wh...
