AN ADELAIDE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

It was six days before the wedding when I got the call. Six days. Their previous wedding photographer had fallen through and I had been recommended by a friend of a friend. By a stroke of luck I was free that day, had it been the weekend before or the weekend after things would have […]

When the bride and groom tell you in their pre-wedding meeting that they’d like to get some photos lawn bowling and in a supermarket you know it’s going to be a fun day. Oh, two more words – dog tuxedos. After taking some time off between Christmas and New Year my 2012 wedding season got […]

It’s always exciting to watch your friends get married, and when you get to be the photographer things are even more fun (albeit a lot more hard work!). Claire and Dan were rolling the dice on their location choice for the ceremony. Inclement weather would have meant a total venue relocation, a logistical nightmare on […]

Jess and Mark are two of the most organised people you’re likely to come across, a wedding photographer’s dream in fact. The day was meticulously planned, down the minute, so when Jess arrived at the church to the news that the organist was no where to be found there were a few nervous moments. The […]

One of the things I love most about shooting weddings is getting an insight into how different cultures celebrate the marriage of two people. When I met Sandra and David the bride-to-be warned me “this probably won’t be like the kind of wedding you normally shoot” which was all I needed to hear – I […]

There’s nothing like the enthusiasm of youth. Within moments of arriving at Mike’s house on the morning of the wedding I knew this was going to be a super fun day, the banter between Mike and his 4 groomsmen was top shelf and I instantly felt like one of the gang (albeit the elder statesman […]

Stephen and his best man Robin met when they were 6 years old. As neighbours in Athelstone their friendship was based on riding bikes around the streets and the vacant block of land that is now a petrol station. 27 years later, at 7 in the morning, we returned to the streets of Athelstone to […]

When I shoot a wedding there’s normally a pretty big contrast between the respective houses where the bride and groom are getting ready. The guys’ place is generally pretty relaxed, just a few dudes kicking back and ironing shirts; whereas the bride’s house is a hotbed of hair and make-up, cars arriving, flowers being delivered, […]

On Saturday I had the pleasure of documenting the wedding day of Emma and Scott, a couple of basketball lovers who also love combi-vans. And each other. As luck would have it Scott was actually my team mate on the first basketball team I ever played for – I was 9 years old and he […]

As Rob’s giant hand engulfed mine to bid me farewell on Sunday night I felt that I’d been part of something special. The stunning day ran as perfectly as a wedding can, but less than 3 weeks earlier things weren’t looking quite as promising. Rob (a Canadian) met Laura (an Adelaidean) at a hostel in […]
