AN ADELAIDE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

What’s a reasonable time frame to have your “best of X year” slideshow done by? It was never getting done by 31st December, that’s for sure, but I thought I’d be able to pull it together in early January.

It can be a pretty lonely gig as a wedding photographer. Sure, the weddings themselves are ridiculously social and fun, but that’s only 30 or 40 days of the year. The rest of the time is spent behind a keyboard editing photos, designing albums, doing admin and resisting the urge to locate and watch all the cat […]

Any business book will tell you that to stand out from the crowd you need to be doing something different. Zig when everyone else zags. To that end, when the rest of the world was busy putting together their summary of 2014 at the appropriate time (ie the last few days of the year) I […]

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 […]

When I was a kid my family moved to Leigh Creek for three years, a small country town about 6 hours north of Adelaide. It was an isolated community where everyone knew everyone, a place where a 5 year old (me) rode his bike home from school all by himself and stayed home alone to […]

Some weddings you just know are going to be fun, this one promised much and delivered in spades. I love shooting country weddings, so when Hayley and Pete told me they were getting married at Kingsbrook at Currency Creek I admit to getting a few butterflies (ok, I didn’t get the butterflies until I went […]

I spent the weekend in Pt Lincoln, here are the top 10 reasons why it is super awesome. 10.  Kangaroos I love kangaroos. Any animal that propels itself by jumping alone is awesome in my books, and Port Lincoln has a lot of them.

Here’s the thing.

I mean, in 2011 are there actually more than a handful of people who live in mud huts? […]
