Sarah & Anthony - 10th January 2009





This wedding took place in my favourite part of the world, Red Hill on the Mornington Peninsula. Sarah and Anthony were a great, relaxed, fun couple, and of course the stunning backdrop of the vines of Tuck's Ridge winery. And talk about 'something in the water'... approximately 8 heavily pregnant guests (including two bridesmaids), and several newborns in attendance too! (I guess they didn't have to worry about a blowout on the alcohol bill...)

Cool details: Sarah wanted a photograph of herself and her father preparing to walk down the 'aisle' in the same pose as that of her own mother and with her father (Sarah's Grandfather) on her wedding day all those years ago. See comparisons above!

Blake & Amelia - 31st December 2008





A New Years Eve wedding... I nearly had one myself, but it got too logistically difficult. And what better place to have a new years wedding than at 'fireworks central', Melbourne's Docklands. A 'Hollywood Glamour' theme, with a couple so in love (even I got teary in the speeches!), and even better for me, a mini school reunion! (I went to school with the groom's sister, he was a couple of years older than me, and a few of the bridal party and their partners all went there as well, so I had a little social catch-up on the job!)

Cool details: Blake did a fantastic job of serenading Amelia with a great version of "The Way You Look Tonight", and then they 'boogied on down' with New Years fireworks going off in the background.

Richard & Meredith - 7th December 2008



I just love a wedding couple with a sense of adventure and a little quirky edge, and these guys had it in spades! How many brides do you know that would be willing to climb up a tree to get the right shot? Such fun, and after a few little rain showers, a great day!

Cool details: The guys wore hats, the bride wore a Collette Dinnigan cocktail dress, and the "wedding car" was a teal and white Kombi van. Too cool.

Michelle & Ben - 29th November 2008




My first post-baby wedding! As much as I love my little girl, it's great to get out and do what I do well, which is helping a couple capture their big day. Michelle and Ben were great fun, and their wedding, at beautiful Gardens House in the Royal Botanic Gardens, was a fantastic celebration of friends and family.

Cool details: A digital photobooth courtesy of www.peekabooth.com.au kept guests lined up throughout the night, and fantasic little baby cupcakes satisfied everyone's sweet tooth!

My new muse - my gorgeous little daughter, Fin, born 29th September 2008. You'll be seeing a lot of her! I saw a baby t-shirt the other day that said "My parents are the Paparazzi" which I thought was scarily appropriate.
