east parklands wedding adelaide, east end

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 […]

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 […]

adelaide wedding

On the weekend I had the distinct pleasure of shooting the wedding of Alexis and Jeffrey, a lovely Malaysian couple who now call Australia home. I first met them in the lead up to my Borneo trip (Malaysia is one of the three countries that make up Borneo) so they were able to offer some […]

I’ve recently had the pleasure of attending 2 weddings (on consecutive Wednesday’s no less) as a guest rather than photographer. I like it. Sue and Luke were married on a 41 degree day down by the beach on December 23, I left my big camera at home and only took a handful of shots on […]
