AN ADELAIDE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

For whatever reason, it hardly ever rains at the wrong time on a wedding day. Maybe it’s because 95% of my weddings are in the driest state of the driest continent on earth, actually, that’s almost certainly the reason, but even when rain is forecast it always seems to dodge my weddings when it needs to.

  It’s not every day you get to shoot a wedding on a movie set, but that’s exactly what Brooklyn Farm brings to the table. Roughly 10 years ago Scott Hicks (best known as the director and screenwriter of the Oscar-winning Shine) made a movie starring Hollywood heartthrob Clive Owen in little old South Australia […]

We started the day, like all good weddings should, with a game of beach cricket and a swim in the ocean. The problem was it was super windy and actually pretty chilly, a lot colder than we were expecting when we put the schedule together. Fortunately Tim and his men were up for anything and […]

A phrase that gets said at a lot of my meetings with couples is “we hate having our photo taken, one of us is always blinking, we’ve got like 2 nice photos of us”. I assume that these couples are sitting on my couch because they like my informal approach to wedding photography and the […]

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 […]

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.

Rain. Not enough of it and it’s bad for the farmers, too much and it’s the same problem. The comparatively wet and cool 12 months we’ve just had might be causing all sorts of headaches for SA winemakers but the flipside is lush green lawns and super picturesque vines and rolling hills which are perfect […]

On Saturday I headed out to Woodstock Wine Estate at McLaren Vale to take some photos for their website. They were hosting a wedding reception that night with guests arriving at 5pm, so I arrived around 4pm to take some shots of the Coterie all decked out but devoid of guests.
