AN ADELAIDE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

We arrived in Fort Portal after a typical Ugandan commute. The bus was supposed to leave Kabale at 6pm but didn’t get going until closer to 7, and after being promised a 3am arrival time we were pleasantly surprised when the bus pulled in at half past midnight. If I’m learning anything about Africa on […]

There are good parts and bad parts of just about every job, including photography. My recent trip to Borneo had both of them, 18 hours in transit from Adelaide to Tawau was an example of a bad part (although to be fair the flights were pretty painless and I was impressed with budget carrier Air […]

When I left the salubrious Kapalai resort in Borneo last year my thoughts were along the lines of that place was incredible, a truly once in a lifetime experience, little did I know that just four months later I’d be back to shoot a wedding! Kapalai is kind of like a cross between Kevin Costner’s […]

I’d been sick all week, and restless night were filled with fevered dreams of the wedding I had to shoot on Sunday. My health improved slightly as the week progressed, but I was far from 100% when Sunday rolled round so I was glad to at least be on familiar territory. Danny and I returned […]

Keen followers of my blog will remember Chona and Rich, a couple I met at J-Fo’s party many moons ago who were looking for a wedding photographer. Well, those many moons came and went, and yesterday Danny and I finally shot the wedding, and what a wedding it was.

Alanis Morissette would have considered it ironic. It’s not consistent with my understanding of irony, but I guess they do things a little differently in Canada, eh?

With wine from France (red) and Argentina (white), an English band, Indian food and Australian photographers Nisha and Carl certainly know the meaning of multiculturalism. I was fortunate to spend Friday and Saturday taking a peek into their lives with my camera as my trusty companion as I covered their civil ceremony on the Friday […]

Anyone who’s ever been to my folks’ house will know that my mum collects owls. There’s hundreds of them filing up several shelves in the living room, ceramic owls, wooden owls, an owl my brother made in pottery class in primary school (which doesn’t really look exactly like an owl, but it’s beautiful nonetheless) and […]

When my business parter Danny and I put out a few ads out 6 months ago offering our services as wedding photographers one of the first responses was from Shabnam asking if we’d be interested in covering her Muslim Bengali wedding. As a couple of cocksure young snappers there was no job we wouldn’t take, […]

A few weeks ago I took my second tentative step into the big bad world of professional photography. With a solitary maternity shoot as my only paid work to date (not including a free trip around Ireland for some promotion snaps this time last year) I took on the challenge of recording photographically the most […]
