AN ADELAIDE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

      When I arrived at Lauren and Bo’s house in Woodville to take photos of the guys getting ready I felt like I had arrived at a villa in Bali. Their backyard had all sorts of relaxed vibes, a sweet pool and exotic plant life that transported you to another time and place. […]

  Sometimes great photos are meticulously planned and sometimes they just happen. If I’m shooting at a new venue I’ll generally do some location scouting to get an idea of what I’m in for but as a rule I don’t like to be too rigid with my planning as a scene can look totally different […]

Groom’s Mum via Facebook: “Hi Simon, Daniel’s mum from Friday’s wedding, thank u for the wonderful photo of my parents dancing, could’ve knocked me over with a feather seeing that, haven’t seen dad up like that in a very long time.” Me: “Hi Tracey, that was a pretty magical moment watching your parents dance, especially […]

I’ve always had jobs that have taken me all over town. In the 90s while I was at uni I worked for a catering company and we would travel to homes and businesses and sporting clubs and girl guide jamborees and all sorts of places and serve the most delicious roast meat and french onion […]

When Lachie gave Breanna’s bridesmaid sister Fleur a high five as she finished walking down the aisle it told me almost everything I needed to know about these guys. When I saw Lachie’s face as he saw his soon to be wife for the first time that day that was everything. Such a natural, genuine, […]

It’s always good to see a few familiar faces on a wedding day, just a handful of people to make you feel like you’re already one of the gang. There were a few such faces at Quinnie and Eugene’s wedding so we were off to a great start. Firstly one of Eugene’s groomsmen was fellow […]

It’s true. I don’t always remember what a couple looks like between the time of our first meeting and our second meeting which is often 12 months later, particularly when our first meeting is done over Skype. Such was the case with Olivia and Francis. For many months those names were staring down at me from […]

Earlier this year I had the honour of documenting Carly and Shae’s wedding. Shae was a bridesmaid in another wedding I had photographed and Carly did some videography work in yet another wedding so I kind of knew them a little bit before their big day, but it wasn’t until their wedding that I really got to see […]

Normally I write a few words about each wedding I put on the blog, in this case I’m going to let Narelle – the bride – do it for me! I will add that this was an amazing day, it was super fun to shoot and Steve has one of the biggest smiles I’ve ever seen.

Back in 2006 when I got my first digital SLR I used to take it everywhere. As time went on I accumulated more lenses, a second body and some flashes, and whenever I travelled anywhere, whether it was a weekend in Barcelona or a week hiking the Cinque Terre my big heavy kit came with […]
