Earlier this week I was chatting to my wedding clients Lachlan and Emma about potentially postponing their engagement session. We had planned for sunset portraits on the beach in Jervis Bay and the rain was getting pretty hard. These two had the best attitude and said let’s do it anyway and I am so glad they did. We met up at Greenfield’s Beach and we had clear skies for long enough to capture some gorgeous moments. Here are a few of my favourite shots from a perfect afternoon! See you at the wedding guys.
Daniel and Kitty's Welcome Dinner
Part One - The Welcome Dinner
When Daniel and Kitty planned their wedstival style celebration at The Cove they knew they wanted more than one day with their loved ones. They kicked off their three day wedding with a welcome dinner which was the perfect way to get everyone together for a relaxing evening before the big day. It was the perfect night with dinner and drinks around the fire at the coastal resort that they had hired exclusively for their party.
Marko and Kate's Q Station Wedding
Planning a wedding is all about adding personal touches that reflects who you are, and Marko and Kate did exactly that! Their wedding was a one of a kind celebration with lots of fun and colour.
Marko and Kate tied the knot at Q Station in Manly, a heritage Harbourside venue on the North Head of Sydney. They had a stunning backdrop of Manly Cove and the city skyline for the ceremony. The rain cleared giving us enough time to explore the property for portraits before returning to the reception for a night of good food and great company.
The highlight of the day was the brides dress which was lovingly made by her mother.
Congratulations guys, you did it!

A shared love for the beautiful beaches on the south coast led Justin and Emily to have a Greenfield’s Beach wedding. Since they live in the area, it made sense to have their celebration in Jervis Bay.
