Mount Gambier Wedding

When Emma got in touch about her wedding I got pretty excited for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I get excited about basically every wedding enquiry I get (even after 8 years of doing this, pathetic, I know). Secondly, this one was a Mt Gambier wedding which meant a trip to the country, a nice long drive […]

  With nearly 200 weddings under my belt it’s not often I come across something I’ve not seen before, but Louise and Ash executed a reception idea that was totally new and super awesome. Fairy lights overhead are pretty commonplace, and rightly so, they look freakin’ awesome and really make the photos sing, but the […]

  I went through a phase earlier this year when a bunch of consecutive weddings had big bridal parties. It was like a video game that got progressively more complicated, each week the boss would be harder and harder to defeat until I reached the final level and was met with Rhiannon and Michael’s 14 […]

Weddings don’t have to be big. In fact, when a wedding is stripped back to the bare essentials it has a way of simplifying everything and making it even more beautiful. Case in point, Bec and James. One of my favourite weddings of 2014 and a wedding with just 27 guests and no bridal party.

Country weddings are awesome. I don’t know if it’s the fresh air, the lack of traffic, the landscape, the people or a combination of it all but every country wedding I’ve shot has been amazing. Stacey and Simon returned home to Mt Gambier to get married and it was a great decision. The ceremony was […]

Henry is a pretty chilled out dude. When I arrived to take some photos of the guys getting ready at Encounter Bay I discovered there was no groom – Henry was actually down at Middleton. On his surfboard. Out the back. Half an hour later he returned, invigorated, and we got into some photos and […]

Waverley Estate Wedding

Sometimes life throws you challenges, where it feels like the universe is conspiring against you and putting up little road blocks on every step of your journey, where nothing works out the way you planned and you just need to grind it out and do the best you can. This was not one of those […]
