Sails on the Bay – Jen and Phil’s Summer wedding

Sails on the Bay – Jen and Phil’s wedding on Summer 2013 was an absolutely amazing day. Jen and Phil had spoken to me after being guests at their friends’ wedding which I’d photographed way back in March 2012, and they booked me in soon after we chatted over coffee in Carlton. Starting with preparations in Caroline Springs with Phil, we then headed across to Taylors Lakes where Jen was getting ready. The wedding ceremony itself was on Ormond Pier […]

Felicia and Scott’s wedding at St Eustathios, Reception at Two Ton Max

Everyone then headed out to the great event space at Two Ton Max to party it up! The day started early with preparations for in Newport, then I was back over the bridge […]

We then headed to location shoots around some iconic city locations, and a reception at Lifeguards @ 200 on Beach Road – a new venue to me and what a stunning view out across the bay and Port Melbourne.

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 […]

Nina and Brad’s gorgeous Spring wedding at Wild Cattle Creek winery

In early November 2016, Nina and Brad tied the knot, celebrating their long-awaited wedding at beautiful Wild Cattle Creek winery. With everyone getting ready at the venue, it was a snap to photograph the guys’ preparations and then just pop down the hill to where the girls were finishing hair and makeup in the accommodation on site. Hope you enjoy the shots Nina and Brad – Congratulations again! The venue was of course, Wild Cattle Creek Winery – check […]

Jess and Tarek’s beautiful November Sandhurst Club Wedding

The first Tuesday in November is an important day on the calendar, and no more so than this year. But to clarify, this year it was the day of Jessica and Tarek’s amazing Sandhurst Club wedding! I caught up with the guys for an express getting-ready session at Jess and Tarek’s place. Following that, we headed out to a nearby park to get a couple of shots with their cute little Biscuit. Subsequently it was across to Murrumbeena to where […]

Meagan and Grant’s awesome Yarra Valley winery wedding at Two Brookes’ Bistro, Seville

Late in October 2016, our friends Meagan and Grant got married, and I was lucky enough to be able to capture their big day. With the ceremony and reception held at Two Brookes Bistro, tucked away down a side road off the Warburton Highway, friends and family came together for a brilliant afternoon wedding and evening celebration. Having known this lovely couple for a few years now, we’d obviously had lots of discussions about the upcoming wedding, and I knew […]

Courtney and Matt’s amazing and fun-filled wedding at Ballara Receptions

Last Saturday it was my privilege to spend the day with Courtney and Matt to capture their awesome Ballara Receptions wedding. Preparations for them both were at home (and Mum’s place, in Courtney’s case), and then the beautiful chapel ceremony and fun-filled reception at Ballara. Meeting Matt and his brilliant and fun family, including all the brothers and bro-from-another-mo best-man Deki, was a huge amount of fun and instantly I could tell this was going to be an awesome day. […]

A Stunning Spring wedding at Beautiful Chateau Wyuna – Favourite Photos below …

Chateau Wyuna Mount Evelyn was the venue for Claire and Scott’s absolutely brilliant wedding last Saturday. Both Claire and Scott were getting ready at Clarion on Canterbury, so we all met up there so I could get detail shots and photograph everyone getting ready – starting with the guys. A couple of beers and some food (delivered by the lovely bridesmaids and gratefully accepted by the fellas) added to the relaxed vibe. Then I headed up the stairs to where […]

Catrin and Jonathan’s gorgeous winter wedding at Marybrooke Manor

Catrin and Jonathan’s wedding at gorgeous Marybrooke Manor, nestled in the Dandenongs east of Melbourne, was a brilliant day, and truly a celebration. [fblike] [fblike] Arriving at Jon’s family’s home in Mount Waverley, the immediate discussion was whether or not we’d be able to have the ceremony outside. It wasn’t going to rain, but it was well under 10 degrees and the wind was making it feel a LOT colder. I knew it was Cat and Jon’s preference to […]
