August 18, 2022

I hate to say it, but you could make a pretty good case that the rest of the world does weddings better than we do. Whether it’s a French wedding that typically kicks on until the sun comes up the next morning or a Lebanese wedding that has the most insane drumming to get the […]

Adam’s first love was not Bec. It was Eleanor, his 1970 XW Ford Falcon. When he proposed he said there’s one condition about the wedding – “that I get to finish doing up my car so she can be in it!!” True to his word Eleanor was finished for the wedding and Adam and boys […]

Way back on Halloween last year I had the pleasure of photographing a wedding that was a bit different (which I love).

Choo choo!!! What’s that sound? It’s the blog train and I’m back on board! It’s been a busy year on the weddings front and on the home front (a new baby boy, our second!) but it’s been an extremely lean year for the blog.  These days I post a lot of photos over on my […]

I used to be good at blogging. I started the blog back in 2008 and was posting a new entry every couple of weeks, the next year I cranked up the output to nearly 1 post week and I kept up that pace for about 3 years. In 2011 I had 42 posts for the […]

Cassie and Josh headed down to Adelaide from up North to get married last year. The wedding had a bit of a beachy undercurrent (pun partially intended) with no venue being further than 5 minutes from the ocean.

Richmond Hotel Wedding, Rundle Mall Wedding

There’s nothing more South Australian than getting married in Rundle Mall, and unless you want to compete with the Hare Krishnas and the bikie flautist your best option is the Hotel Richmond. This is exactly what Loren and Dylan decided to do and what a day it turned out to be!
