I love this part of Belongil Beach for photo sessions. It is usually very quiet compared to Byron Bay’s most popular beaches and on this particular day, it was virtually deserted. The stormy clouds and earlier rain had kept many people from venturing outside, but Rebecca and Liam couldn’t have asked for better weather for their shoot. Not a drop of rain, beautiful light, moody clouds and sand so white it almost glowed against the dark skies… simply perfect!
These guys were so good together that I didn’t really have to do much more than push a button. They were laughing and cuddling all afternoon and I just knew their wedding day was going to be a wonderful day… more on that soon.

There are some gorgeous little nooks’n’crannies hidden away in the countryside around Byron Bay. For Tess & Tim’s engagement session, we started with a stroll around Tallow Creek, stepping off the general pathway anytime something interesting caught our eye. It’s such a beautiful area it was hard to not to spend all our time off the track. Next we headed off to Broken Head for some fun around the rocks and a splash in the ocean while the sun sank behind the horizon and left us with a sublime backdrop for the couple’s shoot.

Sarah and Jordan braved the long weekend traffic to venture into Byron Bay last Friday for their engagement session. Being the long weekend, most of the location options for such a shoot were flooded with visitors to the area, so I took the couple to a very quiet and private part of Belongil Beach. It was a gorgeous afternoon and possibly the calmest one we’ve had for quite some time. The inlet at Belongil Creek was like a mirror… so we made the most of it with several reflection shots.
It is now less than two weeks until these guys tie the knot at Byron’s famous Fig Tree Restaurant and I can’t wait to capture the big day!

I had an absolute blast spending the afternoon with Felicity and Steve last week. Engagement sessions are quite often fun as we casually stroll around gorgeous locations, capturing images in a light-hearted, non-threatening manner. This shoot however, seemed to be a lot more fun than usual. Felicity and Steve were cracking each other up all afternoon and by the end of the shoot I had sore stomach muscles from joining in on the laughter.
The couple are going to be married at The Byron Bay Surf Club in Septemeber and if this shoot was anything to go by, everyone is in for a great time!

If you were anywhere near Bangalow on Friday night and weren’t at the A&I Hall, you surely missed out on a great show. Local crooner Rhydian Lewis along with eight piece band The Swinging Residuals, put on an incredible show to the delight of all in attendance. Local swing dancers were kicking up their heels as Rhydian paid tribute to Michael Bublè, with an evening of Bublè’s music along with tales of the crooner’s life and how he has influenced and shaped Rhydian’s life and career.
Rhydian and the band will be performing the show a number of times between Lismore and Brisbane before the end of the year. If it comes to a venue near you, make sure you treat yourself to a night of wonderful music with these incredibly talented musicians.

What an incredible afternoon it was on Sunday in Ballina for Louise and Tiernan’s engagement session. As I was driving into Ballina, I came very close to calling these guys and rescheduling the shoot as there was plenty of rain and heavy storm clouds all over Ballina. I’m so glad I didn’t! We started the shoot at Shelly Beach and although there were storms raging off the coast, the air was still… eery still… and so the risk of getting caught in the rain was pretty low. We were just winding up and heading back to the cars when we caught a few sprinkles. Great timing! The same thing happened at North Wall and the light was simply superb. We finished the afternoon at The Serpentine where things were really starting to look a little grey, but as we were on a winning streak, just as we were about to finish up, the sun poked through the only hole in the clouds and just showered the entire landscape in an amazingly rich golden glow. All in all, I couldn’t have asked for a better performance from the Weather Gods!
