Nathan and Rhianna's Worrowing Wedding

To me, wedding photography is always special, but when the wedding takes place at Worrowing, it becomes even more magical. This stunning venue, nestled among the rolling hills of the countryside, provided the perfect backdrop for the beautiful wedding of Nathan and Rhianna.

As the photographer, I was thrilled to be able to capture all of the special moments of the day. The morning was filled with excitement as the bride and her bridesmaids got ready in the Stables and the groom and his groomsmen prepared in the Lake Hut.

The ceremony began with the bride making her way down the aisle of the Homestead gardens where her groom was waiting. The couple exchanged heartfelt vows, and the happiness between them was infectious. After the ceremony, we took some gorgeous portraits around the property, taking advantage of the breathtaking scenery.

The reception was held in the Hereford shed, which was adorned with twinkling lights. The newlyweds danced the night away, surrounded by their loved ones. It was truly a joy to photograph such a special and intimate celebration.

Overall, photographing the wedding of Nathan and Rhianna was a highlight of the season. The setting was idyllic and the love between the couple was beautiful to witness. I feel so fortunate to have been able to capture these memories for the happy couple to cherish for a lifetime.

On The Ball Constructions - Culburra Project

Last month, I had the opportunity to photograph a recent project completed by On The Ball Constructions. The owner wanted to modernise their Culburra property by renovating both the interior and exterior of the house.

As soon as I arrived at the property, I was amazed by the transformation that had taken place. The newly renovated space was brighter, more spacious, and much more functional than the original design. The kitchen itself was a masterpiece of contemporary design, with sleek white cabinets, quartz countertops, and top-of-the-line integrated appliances.

One of the most impressive aspects of the renovation was the attention to detail. On The Ball Constructions had thoughtfully planned every aspect of the project, from the placement of outlets and lighting to the choice of finishes. It was clear that the owner will be able to enjoy their newly renovated home for many years to come.

Overall, I was extremely impressed by the quality of the renovation and the professionalism of the builder.

If you're considering a new build or renovation, I highly recommend giving John and his team a call.

The Lodge Jamberoo

After one hectic season shooting back to back weddings, we finished up the calendar year with a stay at The Lodge. Our family was ready to reset and recharge and this country resort was the perfect place to do just that.

Our kids loved the tennis court and games room, and we loved having a poolside room and onsite restaurant. We finished our stay at Lulu’s where we enjoyed the freshest food and most delicious cocktails.

We had a chance to explore the incredible grounds of this riverfront venue and we are dying to get back here to shoot a wedding.

Mitch and Char's Seacliff House Wedding

On the 10th of December I had the pleasure of photographing the beautiful wedding of Mitch and Char at Seacliff House. The ceremony took place on the lush green lawn surrounded by the rolling hills and overlooking the Gerringong coastline. The bride and groom exchanged vows in front of a gorgeous arbor adorned with beautiful florals from the Faux Fernery.

The wedding party looked stunning as they made their way down the aisle. The bride wore an elegant white gown with a modern silhouette, which complimented the grooms linen suit. The bridesmaids were dressed in linen colour dresses which matched the groomsmen perfectly.

After the ceremony, the newlyweds and their guests celebrated with a reception featuring delicious food, flowing champagne, and fun outdoor games. The reception was held in the beautiful barn, decorated with modern furniture and elegant floral arrangements.

One of the highlights of the day was the grooms speech. The way he spoke to his new wife was so loving that you couldn’t help but share a tear with the couple.

As the night came to a close, the bride and groom shared their first dance as husband and wife. It was a magical moment that I am so glad I had the pleasure of capturing.

Overall, it was so much fun to be a part of this special day and to capture the love and joy of the newlyweds. I feel honored to have been able to document this special moment in their lives and I wish them a lifetime of happiness together.

Erin and Yanni's Figbird Wedding

Earlier this month I had the pleasure of photographing the most beautiful wedding at Figbird Cottage in Terara, NSW. The ceremony took place in the lush green garden, surrounded by the rural landscape.

The reception was held in a gorgeous marquee, decorated with twinkling fairy lights and elegant stunning floral arrangements. The bride and groom made their grand entrance, and the party began! The dance floor was packed all night long as the couple and their guests celebrated with some greek dancing.

One of my favorite moments of the night was when the bride and groom ducked out for some portraits right as the sun was setting. It was nice for them both to spend a moment away from their guests and just soak it all in.

Overall, it was an unforgettable wedding and a joy to photograph. The love and happiness that radiated from Erin and Yanni was truly contagious, and I feel honored to have been a part of their special day. I wish the newlyweds a lifetime of love and happiness together!

Jacob and Emily's Meroo Meadow Wedding

I recently had the opportunity to photograph an elopement and it was such a special and intimate experience. The couple, Jacob and Emily, decided to forgo the traditional wedding and instead, chose to elope in stunning Meroo Meadow surrounded by just a few close family members.

As the couple exchanged vows, their family watched on, with tears in their eyes.

After the ceremony, we took a few more photos around the property, taking advantage of the stunning natural surroundings. The couple was so in love and their joy was infectious.

As the afternoon went on, we explored the country landschape, stopping at various scenic spots for more photos. The couple was up for anything and we had so much fun adventuring together.

Elopements may be small, but they are no less meaningful than traditional weddings. In fact, the intimacy and simplicity of an elopement often makes for a truly special and memorable occasion. If you're considering eloping, I highly recommend it!

A romantic setting in the southern highlands dripping in modern florals, a stunning embellished gown and a formal black suit and tie - need we say more? Joel and Jacinta’s Bendooley Estate wedding was both sophisticated and elegant.
