Happy Valentines Mum & Dad to 38 years of marriage - you mean everything to me xxx

A little bit different - Rebecca & Garth

Rachel & Gareth always wanted something a little bit different for their wedding photos - and of course - always up for a challenge ... I obliged ;-)

They wanted to contrast their beautiful formal outfits with a grungy location for their photos after the ceremony.

How cute are they ?!

Secret Life of a Wedding Photographer

There is a big difference between how most clients think I spend my time ...

And how I really spend my time ...

I found this great pie chart comparison care of the Bride Tide Blog.

Self Portrait

Sometimes I think photographers to communicate better with photos than words.

I can think of lots of words to describe how I was feeling when I shot this self portrait but the beauty of photography is that I don't need any words :-)

My great-grandmother Olive

Recently I was looking through some old family photos with my cousins ... I found this amazing photo of my great-grandmother Olive on her wedding day. I think she is divine !

Part 2 ... Samantha & Steve - I love a short wedding dress!

We went to Botanical Gardens for Samantha & Steve's location shots ... the light was beautiful !

Rachel & Derek in love

I realised yesterday that I've never actually shared any of my engagement sessions on my blog ... so here are some from Rachel & Derek - you can tell from these shots they are simply the BEST of friends !

Their facebook album from their wedding last week is also up here.

Part I ... Samantha & Steve - I love a short Wedding Dress !

Last Thursday I gave you a sneak peek at Samantha & Dave's simply gorgeous wedding from early January... well a sneak peak at the Bride :-) Today I am sharing some bride prep shots and ceremony.

Stay tuned in a few days for their location shoot - it's my favourite so far this year. Below are some details for future brides to drool over !

Did your wedding have a particular theme or a particular style?:
Not really - we wanted the day to feel like a wedding but we didn't necessarily want to do it "by the book". I wanted to incorporate some of my favourite things so there were lots of blue-and-white stripes and big fluffy hydrangeas.

Describe how you wore your hair:
I wore it in big loose curls. Amelia from Agency Hair & Makeup who did my hair and make-up for the day was amazing! Nerida Winter in Double Bay made me a beautiful birdcage veil and also the flower that was on my dress.

Describe your shoes in detail:
I wore white Christian Louboutin slingbacks with a half a large bow on each.


Describe your dress & name the designer:
My dress was a silk faille Oscar de la Renta dress with a V-neck, a big flower at the bottom of the V and of course it fell only to the knees. I loved it instantly and nothing else looked right after I first tried it on.

Describe your bridesmaids/flowergirls dresses:
My matron of honour wore a navy and white striped Diane von Furstenberg dress.

Ceremony: Aria Restaurant Sydney - Terrace


Describe your bridal bouquet:
My bouquet was white hydrangeas, David Austin roses, lissianthus and snow berries.
