Lainee and Natasha got married on the day of Sydney Mardi Gras after meeting at the event 5 years earlier and what a way to celebrate their anniversary! The couple had a first look at the Wollongong Botanical Gardens followed by their ceremony and reception at The Grange, Port Kembla.
What's better than one beautiful bride? Two!

Last week I had the chance to photograph a training session at Kiama Downs gym Coastal Fitness Movement. The environment at Coastal Fitness Movement is very welcoming and while the trainers each offer a unique style of training, they are all equally driven and passionate about health and fitness.
Thanks guys for having me back!

With so many weddings lately, I have been struggling to find time to post on my blog.
This is an incredible property I photographed last week for Oz Combined Realty. You can view the listing here.
Below are photos from James and Alicia's wedding a couple of weeks ago in Culburra, NSW. Between the ceremony and reception, we managed to duck over to Orient Point for some intimate portraits, and I'm so glad we did.
James and Alicia were such a nice couple to photograph, they had a beautiful natural connection and it was obvious how much they loved just being in each other’s company.
Enjoy the photos!
I had the chance to shoot 15 Vallon Road, Woollamia a couple of weeks ago. Oz Combined Realty wanted me to shoot this property with my drone to highlight the property perimeter and to show potential buyers just how much land they would be getting. You can view the property here.
Last week I did some aerial work for Oz Combined Realty of a property they have listed in Huskisson, NSW. You can view the property here.
When I met up with Craig and Sarah last year I knew I was going to enjoy shooting their relaxed wedding. The couple got married on a relatives property in Huskisson, Jervis Bay. Following the ceremony I joined Craig, Sarah and their daughter Evie at Greenfield's Beach to capture some special moments between the three of them. I think it's so nice when you decide to get married after you have kids so they can be included in the celebration.
Since my daughter is asleep at the moment I thought I would take the opportunity to blog this family session I shot at the Shoalhaven River recently. I really wanted to show how loved Ben and Caitlin's baby is, by not only them, but the whole family. Thank you Caitlin for organising this session, it was great to shoot in one of the towns most iconic locations!
I joined Howard and Deb for their elopement at Bannisters in Mollymook. There's nothing more romantic than having an intimate ceremony between the bride and groom. I often get emailed about elopements, and one of the main questions I'm asked about is witnessing the occasion, and for those wondering, I am more than happy to do this for you on the day.
Howard and Deb had been married before and wanted to do things different the second time round, they wanted to celebrate their wedding together by the sea and that's exactly what they did.
These family portraits were taken at Killalea State Park, home of The Farm Markets. As a photographer, I get excited when a client is happy to do a late afternoon session as the lighting is so much better to work with. While I love shooting families I think it's important to make some time to shoot the parents too, so that's exactly what I did with Madeleine and Mitch. I can't wait to photograph this beautiful family again in the future.
I've been really excited to share Tom and Juliette's wedding with you guys. Their wedding ceremony was held at Greenfields Beach and was followed by a reception at Worrowing Jervis Bay. If you've been following my blog for a while you would know I'm a big fan of Worrowing. One of the reasons why I think so highly of the venue is the commitment by the staff to accommodate their client's requests. As Tom and Juliette are living in the UK they wanted a real Australian wedding. Worrowing allowed the couple to have Australian animals at their reception. This unique wedding was so much fun to be apart of.
All the best Tom and Juliette!
Here are a few of my favourite photos from my maternity session with the lovely Michelle. The photos were taken at Moona Moona Creek in Huskisson when Michelle was 34 weeks pregnant. I often get asked when the ideal time for maternity photos is and my recommendation is anytime from 32 weeks, however, it is completely up to you!
I joined new parents Dan and Jess to capture some family portraits with their beautiful daughter a couple of weeks ago in Burrier, NSW. Being a father has taught me how precious those first few weeks of life are, so to be invited into the homes of new parents is such an honor!
Dallas and Jacqui couldn't have picked a more beautiful location to have their wedding ceremony. The two tied the knot surrounded by flowers in the Rose Garden at the Wollongong Botanical Gardens. Their romantic wedding ceremony was followed by a traditional sit down reception at City Beach Function Centre. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know this lovely bride and groom and wish them all the best for their future as husband and wife.
A lot of my clients have a preconceived idea that photography sessions are highly posed and awkward. I often suggest to these clients that we take a walk or shoot the photos somewhere they feel comfortable. I have a relaxed approach to photography and I try my best to capture genuine relationships and special moments. Below are some photos from a recent shoot in Berry, NSW. Half of the booking was used taking property photos and the remainder was used taking family portraits around the home and yard.
One of the best things about this business is the nice people you meet along the way.

Are you struggling to come up with content for your social media in the building trade? Having professional progress photos can be a great way to educate potential clients of the building process, showcase your project management and generate interest from start to finish. With the spotlight on home improvement over the last few years, there is an increased demand for this type of photography. By having regular, professional photos you can stay ahead of your competitors and as a result generate more business!
Check out my recent work below, a day on a Go Steel job site in Cambewarra NSW.
When Mila emailed me to organise the engagement shoot they never had I jumped at the opportunity to head back to Sydney!
I met Jonah and Mila at the Royal Botanical Gardens on their recent visit to Australia. We wanted to shoot their session at an iconic location because Jonah is Canadian and Mila hadn't been back home in over four years.
Thanks guys for allowing me to capture this special afternoon with you both.
A couple of weeks ago I spent my morning shooting The Puglisi family. We took a walk around Dolphin Point, NSW and it was so picturesque. We will definitely be heading back down for a swim in the not so distant future!
