It was a beautiful day on the Gold Coast the day Carissa and Park were married, and the Sheraton Mirage was the perfect venue to host the event. Their ceremony took place in a private clearing surrounded by palm trees, right in the middle of the resort. The couple were joined by an intimate gathering of family and friends who had travelled far and wide to join them on their special day. Most of Park’s family had travelled all the way from Thailand to be a part of the festivities.
The entire day ran like clockwork, largely due to the work of Lee from A Fabulous Event. The reception was held in the Horizons Room where I caught up with an old mate I hadn’t seen for about 15 years… Nik from NikNat Entertainment, who kept everyone kicking up their heels on the dancefloor long after I had hung up my cameras for the evening. The couple also scored a complimentary fireworks show, just as they started their first dance… courtesy of another event at the resort.

The wedding of Louise and Tiernan was a long time coming. The couple have been together for the best part of a decade and they have watched their friends all slowly embark into married life, and yet it took Tiernan what seemed like forever to pop the question. Why you ask? Tiernan has an innate fear of public speaking and the thought of giving a speech in front of all his friends and family was just too much! You’ll be happy to know that his speech was flawless and he can now happily avoid microphones for the rest of his days.
The couple had their ceremony and reception at Wollongbar’s Down Convery’s Lane, a rustic, country venue, purpose-built for weddings. It was a beautiful day that just seemed to run as smooth as possible from beginning to end. Congratulations guys!

I love an emotional wedding and Jess and Sam’s beautiful autumn wedding in Bowral was the most emotional wedding I have ever had the pleasure of attending. Jessica’s dad was in tears when he first saw Jess in her dress. Sam burst into tears as soon as Jess started making her way towards the awaiting guests, and continued throughout the entire ceremony. Sam’s dad was in tears as soon as Sam started crying… and I was tearing up as I went through selecting the images for this post. There were very few handshakes during the post-ceremony congratulations, instead everyone was participating in heartfelt hugs and kisses. It truly was a beautiful moment to be a part of.
This was my first time shooting in Bowral and to say it was gorgeous would be an understatement. The landscape was scattered with autumn trees in full colour and pretty little vineyards around every corner. Special thanks to McVitty Vineyard for allowing us to shoot on their spectacular driveway. Jess and Sam chose Peppers Craigieburn for their ceremony and reception and their grounds were certainly some of the best in the region.
If you are thinking of getting married in the Southern Highlands region, please call me… I can’t wait to shoot here again!

Kym and Kent’s magical day started at the Ramada Hotel & Suites in Ballina. Kym and her bridesmaids had their hair and makeup styled by Jessica Briggs. Jess always does such lovely, natural work and the results photograph beautifully. The boys were all getting ready just down the hall, with a little whiskey to help things along.
The ceremony was held in the grand old Alstonville Uniting church which celebrated its 100th anniversary just a few years ago. The couple were joined by more than a hundred of their family and friends who all witnessed a wonderfully heartfelt service.
From there everyone made their way up to Down Convery’s Lane at Woollongbar for drinks and canapes and later dinner, more drinks and a whole lot of dancing.

It was a simply glorious afternoon on Tuesday in Byron Bay. I spent the last 90 minutes of daylight strolling between The Pass and Clarkes Beach, capturing these images for Kym & Kent on their engagement session shoot. We include an engagement session with each of our wedding packages. It’s a great way for everyone to get to know one another, and for me to understand what is important to the couple photographically. I believe this is something that shouldn’t wait until the wedding day and having this prior knowledge can only add to the quality of images captured on the big day.
Kym & Kent are to be married this Saturday in Alstonville with their reception at Down Convery’s Lane. Keep an eye on the blog for more from this stunning couple.
