Ballara Receptions Melbourne Spring wedding

Sandra and Andrew’s Melbourne Spring Wedding

On a beautiful Saturday in late October, I photographed the gorgeous Melbourne Spring wedding of Sandra and Andrew, by the lake at beautiful Ballara Receptions. Starting with the guys’ preparations, I headed all the way across town to Pascoe Vale where Andrew and his groomsmen were all getting ready. Meeting up with Steven Beck our awesome videographer for the day, we got lots of great prep shots with the guys helping Andrew get ready, Mum pinning the flowers and some […]

Maison Wedding Melbourne

Margarita and Michael’s Maison Melbourne Wedding

Sunday afternoon was perfect for Margarita and Michael’s Maison Melbourne wedding, with Spring sun stream down on us all for their garden ceremony. First off was preparations with Michael and his guys at a family home – a few drinks, some food, and some time for portraits and “getting ready” shots. The guys were very relaxed, as were the girls when I went on to see them next. At the girls’ preparations spot in Caulfield, it was also very relaxed. […]

Lyrebird Falls Wedding

Rachel and Blake’s Lyrebird Falls Wedding

Rachel and Blake got hitched in a very fun, smiley and sweet Lyrebird Falls wedding, high up in Melbourne’s Dandenong Ranges.   [fblike] Keeping things super low-key, Rachel and Blake didn’t book me for the morning, preferring instead to do their getting-ready without a photographer hanging around! So it was only at the venue that I met up with them again, having caught up here in the office a while back and on the phone several times since. Check out […]

Marybrooke Manor Wedding Photography

Jess and Kyle’s stunning Marybrooke Manor Wedding

Not too long ago it was my privilege to photograph Jess and Kyle’s beautiful Marybrooke Manor wedding, high up in Melbourne’s Dandenong Ranges. We started with preparations shots at a friend’s property in nearby Kallista – down some roads I’m fairly sure I’ve never driven on, despite travelling around the mountain for the better part of my life! Then it was on to Marybrooke Manor to catch up with the guys for a quick pre-wedding shoot before the girls arrived. […]

Jade and Harley

In early March, Jade and Harley tied the knot at Meadowbank Receptions, a hidden gem in Melbourne’s northern suburbs. Preparations shots for Jade and the girls were not far away in Mill Park, and it was great to catch up with Jade and her family again. After lots of phone conversations, we first met a month or two ago over a pub lunch in Yarra Glen, and it was great to chat again and meet the lovely bridesmaids. Heading over […]

Avalon Castle Wedding

Kelly and Keith’s big day at Avalon Castle, Cockatoo

In March 2017 I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to photograph Kelly and Keith’s Avalon Castle wedding. This unique venue, truly tucked away in Melbourne’s Dandenong Ranges, is a great spot if you’re looking for a gothic-type backdrop to your ceremony. With the sun shining brightly on us all, a very personal ceremony by Helen (including locking away a special bottle with some love-letters to each other) was concluded in the nearby shade. Great idea to get everyone […]

Bride and groom outside one of Melbourne's great wedding reception venues

Annie and Jack – Ballara Receptions

On an absolutely perfect Autumn Melbourne day (does Melbourne get any better than it’s Autumn?), Annie and Jack got hitched in a very touching and sweet Ballara Receptions wedding. This was followed by a party and celebration at one of Melbourne’s most loved wedding reception venues. With preparations at a nearby hotel, I arrived to find the guys all set and super-organised – I was later to find out that I shouldn’t have been surprised by this 🙂 After preparations […]

Marybrooke Manor Wedding - Leanne and Ben

Leanne and Ben’s stunning garden wedding at Marybrooke Manor

What a romantic, heartfelt, beautiful ceremony for Leanne and Ben (and Kenzi 😉 ) – I had the privilege of photographing their Marybrooke wedding in late November 2016. With preparations for both Ben and Leanne completed, we headed up to Marybrooke where Kenzi, their faithful retriever, was waiting for the vintage Jags to arrive. The ceremony was warm (unlike the mountain air 😉 ) and thoughtful, with touching individually written vows and contributions from bride and groom. Check out the […]

Mornington Peninsula Wedding Photography

Amy and Luke’s backyard wedding and Mornington Peninsula beach shoot

Amy and Luke celebrated their beautiful Mornington Peninsula wedding at Luke’s parents’ home in Mt. Eliza. I have to say this up-front – I LOVE home weddings. They’re always so cosy and intimate and the huge effort that goes into getting someone’s house ready to host a big event like a wedding is always amazing. Hard to find a groom more laid back than Luke, and in between photographing all the details that everyone had added around the property, I […]

Ballara Receptions Eltham

Gretta and Pat, Ballara Receptions Eltham

Ballara Receptions Eltham Ballara Receptions Eltham – How much fun was Gretta and Pat’s wedding at Ballara Receptions? A really committed, excited and engaged (sorry, pun not intended) bridal party and families always means a brilliant day (and creates opportunities for great photos) and Gretta and Pat’s was no exception. Lots of attention to detail meant everything from the Mariana Hardwick dress to the personalised candy jars was carefully thought through and put into place, and Pat’s and the band’s […]
