On the 14th of October, love took center stage as Tom and Kaitlin tied the knot at the Clovelly Bowling Club. Their wedding was a day filled with joy, beautiful moments, and unforgettable memories.

The day began with the anticipation and excitement that only a wedding day can bring. Tom and Kaitlin got ready separately at the Crown Plaza in Coogee, building the anticipation as they prepared for their big moment. However, they didn’t stay apart for long. The couple decided to have a "first look" at Dunningham Reserve, a moment that would set the tone for the day.

As the couple laid eyes on each other for the first time that day, it was a beautiful and heartfelt moment. The two couldn’t be happier, reminding everyone in attendance of the incredible bond they shared.

The ceremony, held on the bowling green, was nothing short of good vibes. Kaitlin was escorted down the aisle by both of her parents, symbolising the love and support of her family. The ceremony was enhanced by two bold pillars of colorful florals, which seamlessly tied in with the vibrant decor that would later grace the reception.

After saying their heartfelt vows, the newlyweds joined me for a picturesque portrait session along the coastline. The stunning backdrop of the ocean and cliffs perfectly complemented the couple's radiant happiness, resulting in timeless photographs that they will cherish forever.

As the sun began to set, the party moved indoors to the Clovelly Bowling Club for the reception. The venue was adorned with bright streamers hanging from the ceiling, adding a touch of fun to the space. The tables were adorned with vibrant florals, creating a sense of abundance and festivity.

The evening's festivities continued with a sit-down reception, where the couple and their guests shared delicious food and heartfelt toasts. However, the highlight of the night was the dance floor.

Brandon and Lucy's Homestead Berry Wedding

Love knows no bounds, and sometimes, it's found in the most unexpected places. Lucy and Brandon's love story is a testament to that, and their wedding on Friday the 13th of October at The Homestead in Berry was a day filled with love and laughter.

The day began with anticipation as Lucy and Brandon got ready separately in the charming cottages at The Homestead. Lucy was a vision in white, her excitement radiating as she prepared to say "I do." She shared a beautiful first look with her father and then her bridesmaids who were so excited to open the barn doors and share in Lucy's joy.

The ceremony took place in front of the iconic Ivy covered silo at The Homestead. In a departure from tradition, it was Brandon who was walked down the aisle first, accompanied by his parents. The symbolism of his parents escorting him down the aisle was a touching tribute to the support and love they'd given him throughout his life. Then, the moment everyone had been waiting for arrived – Lucy, escorted by her father, took the walk towards her future husband. The moment bought them both to tears.

Lucy and Brandon's love story had a unique twist - they met abroad while on separate Contiki trips. Fate played its hand, weaving their paths together in on the other side of the world, and their love had since blossomed into something beautiful. As they exchanged heartfelt vows and shared their personal anecdotes of love, their guests were reminded of the power of serendipity and the beautiful connections that can be forged across the globe.

The afternoon was filled with joy as the bridal party posed for portraits, capturing the fun of their love and friendship. Lucy was a true picture of happiness, her smile never fading, and Brandon's easy-going nature complemented her perfectly.

The reception was a lovely celebration of their love story, with friends and family coming together to toast to the couple's future. They enjoyed a delicious sit-down meal while they listened to heartfelt toasts and speeches that showcased the love and support that Lucy and Brandon had garnered over the years. One of the highlights of the evening was the shoe game, a lighthearted game that had everyone in stitches as Lucy and Brandon playfully answered questions about their relationship. The night finished with the couple’s choreographed first dance, which was perfectly rehearsed and had everyone circling around and quickly joining them.

As photographers, capturing Lucy and Brandon's wedding was so much fun. Their love story was one for the books, a reminder that love can be found in the most unexpected places, and that Friday the 13th can be a lucky day for love. Thank you for having us guys and congratulations to you both!

The Benko Family

Last week I visited the Benko family for a 6 month baby photoshoot. What a lovely way to celebrate such a sweet milestone in Nash’s life. At 6 months old little ones are full of expression. During our session, there were lots of smiles and giggles and Nash was very eager to explore his surroundings with mum and dad. We spent most of the time in the nursery capturing a very typical day with a baby, from playing to feeding and everything in between.

Thank you for inviting me into the home to capture these precious moments.

With another one on the way Blake and Laura decided it was the perfect time to update their family photos.

Having both grown up on the south coast, Brendan and Sally decided to tie the knot locally, in Kangaroo Valley. In the lead up to their big day the couple visited Tallowa Dam to see if it would make a suitable spot for the bridal portraits and they fell in love with the location. The dam holds a special place in the brides heart as her grandfather helped build it.

Brendan and Sally spent the morning of their wedding with the bridal party getting ready at Saddle Ridge, a beautiful Hamptons style homestead.

Picture this, an outdoor ceremony set on a 42 acre property with stunning views of nearby mountains and national park.

The Scerri Family

The Scerri family was a such a nice bunch to work with during their outdoor family photo session. I had a great time capturing these guys just hanging out. It’s so important to get your family together every once in a while for some updated photos, because time flies and as the kids get older getting everyone together gets harder and harder. Here are some of the highlights from our afternoon together.

Branding Session with Ivy Lane Collective

One of my most recent sessions was with the girls at Ivy Lane Collective. I have worked alongside Elyza and her team in the wedding industry since the beginning of my business back in 2017. When Elyza reached out for a branding shoot I was eager to see what a day in the life of a florist looks like. I have seen the amazing floral work these girls create for weddings so going behind the scenes was something new and so much fun! They really do pour their passion and talent into everything they do, what an incredibly talented bunch of girls.

Laura and Billy's Engagement Session at Sydney Botanical Gardens

Spring in Australia is such a beautiful time of year for engagement photos. I met up with Billy and Laura at the Sydney Botanical Gardens over the October long weekend for a morning session with their kids. We explored the grounds and captured some beautiful photos in front of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House.

Having got to know the couple during our shoot I am now really looking forward to capturing their upcoming wedding!

Scott and Elli's Paddington Reservoir Gardens Engagement Session

Give us a a fun loving couple in a gorgeous location any day! I had so much fun photographing Scott and Elli’s engagement session in Paddington Reservoir Gardens over the October Long weekend. We were so lucky that the Sydney heat wave meant we basically had the place to ourselves.

Congratulations Scott and Elli on your engagement, see you guys at the wedding!

Lachlan and Raegan's Wedding at Hazelhurst Gallery

Lachlan and Raegan had a clear vision for their Hazelhurst Art Gallery wedding. They wanted to keep some things traditional like Raegan wearing a white gown and being given away by her father, but when it came to the styling they knew they wanted to add a modern twist. With an amazing team of vendors, their big day was bursting with colour and was full of excitement.

They held their garden ceremony in the afternoon which meant they could head straight into the reception, only stopping to have some quick portraits as the sun began to set. The Art Gallery made the perfect venue for the night, with its colourful walls and ambient lighting. They decorated the room with baby’s-breath and added a neon sign, reminding guests to hit the dance floor. The reception was a nod to their fun side - with heart shaped sunglasses, disco cowgirl boots and a personalised denim jacket. The night ended with a sparkler send off for the newlyweds.

What a unique wedding to be part of, congratulations guys!

Thomas and Emily's Wedding at The Homestead Berry

Tom and Emily’s Homestead wedding was such a fun day, this fun loving couple created the most easy going atmosphere that perfectly mirrored their relaxed personalities. They chose a beautiful spring colour palette which added warmth and colour to the styling.

They chose to say “I do” with the ivy covered Silo as the backdrop and their fur baby as the ring bearer. They kicked off the celebration with an afternoon ceremony surrounded by the country homestead, followed by a reception in The Cow Shed which featured banquet dining tables that were decorated beautifully with dried florals. The party then moved to the dance floor, where Tom and Emily shared a romantic first dance.

One of my favourite moments from the day was right after the portraits when the bridal party surprised Tom and Emily with their gift, a live artist who was painting the couple in real time. This was a hilarious reveal as the couple were both very confused who the mystery guest was.

The whole day was a lot of fun and we were so happy to be there to capture it all.
