Riverland wedding, groomsmen

Travel and photography are two of the big passions in my life, so whenever I get a chance to shoot a wedding outside Adelaide I jump at the chance. When Bec got in touch about her wedding in the Riverland I started to get excited – sure, it’s only 3 hours drive away, but the […]

Since going full time with photography the structure of my life has been turned upside down. Previously I’d sit in an office Monday to Friday counting down the seconds until 5pm Friday, then when Sunday night rolled around I’d go into lockdown mode, maybe iron a few shirts and lament the fact I’d be spending […]

Riverland wedding, renmark wedding photography

On Friday night I headed down to the Riverland in anticipation of Saturday’s wedding between Bec and Adrian. The forecast was predicting heat, and Saturday delivered in spades with the mercury rising to almost 37 in Renmark.

Does anyone on the internet know the protocol between photographing something and subsequently blogging it? Anyone? No? Good. In that case I’m going to resume my series of Africa blogs which are rapidly becoming a distant memory. When you think of African wildlife you think of lions, elephants, leopards, hippos, giraffes, rhinos and a bunch […]

The Lane wedding

Just a quick sneak peek of a recent wedding I shot at the stunning Lane Vineyard in the Adelaide Hills. The weather had been horrendous all week and the relentless rain caused a last minute change of location for the ceremony, I was fearful that an area I’d scouted for photos 2 weeks earlier would […]

What better way to celebrate the first day of daylight savings than a stunning outdoor wedding late in the afternoon taking full advantage of the extra hour of light? Ali and Andrew chose to have their ceremony and reception at the gorgeous Howard Vineyard in the Adelaide Hills and after a week of heavy rain […]

I thought I’d try something a bit different with the blog this time round and focus on one specific photo, in particular how I shot and processed it.  There are still plenty of Africa blogs to come (I haven’t even touched 2 weeks of amazing safaris) but there’s still the daunting task of facing thousands […]

Just imagine it’s a cold winter’s night and you decide to head down to AAMI stadium to watch Port Power take on another lowly side (presumably because you got free tickets). As the match kicks off there’s a lot of empty seats in the ground, in fact you’ve never seen so few people at an […]
