Brodie & Will. A Broken Head Wedding.

by admin | October 21, 2016 | Wedding photography

Brodie and Will ventured north to Byron Bay from the ACT for their big day. The boys made a road trip of the journey and spent a leisurely week working their way up the NSW coastline.

The couple relied on Byron Bay Weddings to handle most of the arrangements, and as always, they certainly delivered! The boys prepared for the big event onsite at Barefoot at Broken Head, while the ladies readied themselves at one of the neighboring bungalows.

There was not a cloud in site on this spring morning as Brodie and her bridesmaids made their way down to the dunes off Broken Head beach, to join the rest of the bridal party and a hundred or so family and friends, for an intimate ceremony officiated by Helen Riminac.

After the ceremony, everyone made their way back to Barefoot for plenty of great music, amazing food, heartfelt speeches, hacky-sack and general goodtimes.

As sunset approached, the boys from Byron Wedding Visual, the bridal party and I, all ventured up to the Byron Bay Lighthouse, to make the most of the late afternoon light and the setting sun. Once again, Byron Bay delivered with an incredible sunset… and a simply perfect way to cap off a beautiful day.

Bec & Jamie. A Ballina Wedding.

by admin | October 10, 2016 | Wedding photography

Bec and Jamie have such an amazing group of friends and I have been lucky enough to shoot several of their weddings. So many, that I’m starting to feel like part of the family. Each and every one has been a celebration of love and friendship and Bec and Jamie’s big day was certainly no exception.

The day took place at Dunes on Shelly Beach with uninterrupted views of the ocean as a backdrop under clear blue skies. The styling featured many items created by the bride and groom and a stunning macrame arbor, crafted by Vicki Veitch.

While Jamie paced back and forth across the aisle, the girls arrived in style in one of Coast 58’s gorgeous kombis, to the acoustic tunes of groomsman Simon Doe. Susie Figgis delivered a beautiful, heartfelt ceremony, and then after a short photoshoot on the nearby beaches, everyone celebrated with the couple, long into the evening.

Congratulations guys… I look forward to catching up with everyone at the next wedding 🙂

Brodie & Will. A Broken Head Engagement Session.

by admin | July 11, 2016 | Engagement Session

I love engagement sessions. They are generally a casual stroll with a fun couple in a really picturesque location. Brodie and Will’s session was no different except that we got to explore a beautiful location we didn’t know existed. As a kid I quite often went to Broken Head and would have explored the tracks throughout all the surrounding bushland, but it has been decades since I ventured very far up the Two Sisters Track, that leads south from Broken Head. During Brodie and Will’s shoot, we kept venturing further and kept discovering beautiful countryside. Couple this with gorgeous weather and an ocean full of playful dolphins, and we were guaranteed to have a wonderful afternoon.

These guys are to be married on the beach in September and I can’t wait to share their special day with them.

Renee & Liam. A Fig Tree Restaurant Wedding.

by admin | May 25, 2016 | Wedding photography

Renee & Liam’s gorgeous Byron Bay wedding featured some of the best the region has to offer. Liam and his family prepared themselves at a stunning property overlooking The Pass, while Renee’s preparations took place at Byron’s iconic Rae’s at Wategos. Uber talented David Dibley and Mia Conner looked after Renee’s hair and makeup before everyone made their way to the ever-popular Fig Tree Restaurant.

I’ve shot a lot of weddings at Fig Tree and I never tire of it. In fact, it seems to just keep getting better and better each time I’m there. One of the venue’s greatest assets is its staff. They work together like a well-oiled machine and no request ever seems to be a problem. It truly is a joy to work amongst such professionals. For Renee and Liam’s wedding, the venue was styled by The Wedding Shed and Byron Bay Weddings and featured beautiful floral creations from the Alstonville Florist.

The couple’s ceremony was officiated by the lovely Clarah Luxford. With crystal clear views of the Byron coastline as a backdrop to the ceremony, it’s hard to imagine a better place to start a life together… and I’m sure theirs is going to be a wonderful one. Congrats guys!
