AN ADELAIDE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

  Sometimes great photos are meticulously planned and sometimes they just happen. If I’m shooting at a new venue I’ll generally do some location scouting to get an idea of what I’m in for but as a rule I don’t like to be too rigid with my planning as a scene can look totally different […]

  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 […]

Way back on Halloween last year I had the pleasure of photographing a wedding that was a bit different (which I love).

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.

I’ve always had jobs that have taken me all over town. In the 90s while I was at uni I worked for a catering company and we would travel to homes and businesses and sporting clubs and girl guide jamborees and all sorts of places and serve the most delicious roast meat and french onion […]
