A Dandenong Ranges wedding for Lydia and Matt

On Friday I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to photograph Lydia and Matthew’s gorgeous wedding in the Dandenong Ranges. On a cold but clear Friday morning, I headed up into the Dandenongs, not far from home, to meet up with the guys and capture their big day. Starting with Matt and his four awesome groomsmen, we had time to get some traditional “getting ready” shots as well as shoot some maybe less-traditional portraits. The guys were super relaxed […]

Daylesford wedding at Frangos & Frangos, Kim and Ash

A Daylesford wedding, Kim and Ash

Daylesford, Frangos & Frangos After having first met Ash and Kim quite some time before the wedding, it was great to catch up with them again. I met up with the guys at Ruby’s Cottages right in Daylesford. The guys were looking great and were just about ready to go, so as soon as I got closeups of ties, shoes, cufflinks and, of course, the rings, they were ready to help Ash get completely ready. A couple of very good […]

Wedding Photography Melbourne, Inglewood Estate

Ash and Mick, Inglewood Estate

I always know it’s going to be a great day when I arrive where the groom’s getting ready and find a relaxed and happy bunch of guys, and that was absolutely the case when I met Mick and the guys in a very Eltham-y house in Eltham, before their long-awaited Inglewood Estate wedding. Then I headed down to see bride Ashlee and her lovely family for the girls preparations not far away. And the dog, of course! It was really […]

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 […]

Ascot House Wedding – Sharlie and Rowan

Ascot House Receptions wedding An Ascot House Receptions wedding was on the cards in February, 2015. I hadn’t met Sharlie and Rowan before the wedding day, they’re from Perth and it was a little bit far to go to organise a meeting 🙂 As a result, we caught up on the morning of the wedding, firstly having had a couple of long chats on the phone with Sharlie beforehand. A personal story, I’m always early to any booking in the […]

Dani and Dan, Albert Park Baptist, Fitzroy Gardens and All Smiles Docklands

All Smiles Docklands All Smiles Docklands – Dani and Dan tied the knot at Albert Park Baptist Church last Sunday, with guests and family coming from far and wide. Dani and Dan were down from Sydney and I’d met them for coffee a few months earlier to catch up. Beautiful bride Dani got ready at her Mum’s house, which was big, bright, light, and perfect for hair and makeup and wedding preparation photography. And I absolutely loved the lace shoulder […]
