Posted by in 1ups, Ravensthorpe, Wedding

Yesterday I had a Friday wedding. It rained a lot. It was nice when it stopped raining.
Here is a frame from Grant & Rebekah’s wedding at Ravensthorpe, Albion Park which I caption ‘dancing after the rain stops’

NYE Wedding: Andrew + Bianca

Posted by in Bowral Wedding, Centennial Vineyards - Bowral, Crazybooth, featured, Milton Park - Bowral, Southern Highlands Wedding, Wedding

Usually on New Years Eve we are all in bed by 9:30. Having 3 boys will do that to you. This was the first time I’d been asked to shoot a wedding over NYE. I knew that any couple willing to have a NYE wedding would mean they would be up for serious fun and their guests wouldn’t be far behind them. Certainly the case here. Andrew is currently in the Navy and took a break from his current deployment to come back to Australia and wed his beautiful bride, Bianca.

mostly brits, it seemed fitting they wanted a photo in ‘boardies and flipflops’

meanwhile the girls prepped at Milton Park cottages…


always lovely flowers courtesy of Michelle from Affair with George


makeup by Yvette from Ethix…


one of my favourite moments on a wedding – the bride arriving at the ceremony and all smiles seeing her guests lingering outside for a glimpse…

ceremony was at St Simon and St Judes Anglican church in Bowral

then over to Centennial Vineyards for more photos and for their reception / party into the new years!

Bianca added some uplighting to the walls, something I haven’t seen done at CV before…

and then party rockers in the house tonighttttt…

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

as usual our photobooth went off…

super awesome way to count the NY in! Thanks for a great end to the year and beginning A+B!
more photos (including more photobooth ones) available here for guests.

Wedding: Vetea + Angelina in Maui, Hawaii

Posted by in featured, Hawaii Wedding, Maui Wedding, Wedding

Possibly the wedding of the year last year, though my little sister’s wedding would also be a contender! The main reason was it was in Hawaii and I got to take Naomi over without kids for a whole week! Angelina is an incredibly talented photographer herself (Aloha Portraits) who we had met when she had spent some time working over here in Australia. Just about as soon as she got engaged she sent me a message asking if we would consider coming over for her day. Vetea her husband-to-be was from Tahiti (!) so it made for a really fun, laid back wedding.

They had their wedding day at a gorgeous private residence in Paia, Maui near where they both now live. The girls got ready down at Mama’s Fish House.

Being a Hawaiian girl, Angelina naturally LOVES rainbows. Her theme for the day was rainbow, each of the boys and girls dressed in a different color of the rainbow. I was stoked to see some rainbows on the wedding day and capture them for her…


rainbooowwwwww

big Kudos to Ange for doing the Hula for Vetea with everyone looking on…

a few days later we met up with them at Lanai for a few extra photos as we had a short amount of time on the wedding day. (and I encouraged them while I was over there to use and abuse me as much as they could)

An amazing couple of days in Hawaii!

Wedding: Andrew + Teresa

Posted by in Bowral Wedding, Centennial Vineyards - Bowral, Southern Highlands Wedding, Wedding

Another wedding back from last year was Andrew & Teresa’s wedding. It rained just about the WHOLE day, despite my usual impeccable weather luck in the highlands. The mud, rain and foreboding darkness wasn’t enough to put a dampener on their lovely day. Thanks to Ale for helping out on the day.

Teresa prepped in a cute little cottage in Bowral…







the ceremony was at St Francis Xavier in Berrima…








we grabbed some ‘safe’ shots in the better weather in Berrima, expecting it to be less nice in Bowral…












note Teresas feet in this shot… clay mud is fun to remove O_0





then over to Centennial Vineyards for their reception…

Family shoot: The Sharps

Posted by in Portraits

I do get a lot of people asking if I do portraits / family shoots. Most of the time I’m far too busy with weddings. This time I made some time in my calendar as a way of thanking this lovely family for looking after Josiah (our eldest son) when Naomi and I went to Hawaii for a wedding last November.

It was a short, fun session, just on our local beach. Here’s some frames I enjoyed taking…













expect to see some more photos like these down the track, I really enjoyed taking them.

Many thanks for being such wonderful clients <3

I’m becoming quite the regular fixture for weddings at Centennial Vineyards.
Not that I mind at all, the venue is gorgeous, the food is always amazing, the wine perfect and the staff beyond lovely.

Here’s an ‘experimental’ frame from Brendan + Natashas’s wedding at Centennial. The 2nd wedding in a row that I shot last week at Centennial.
