I had an amazing time photographing Justyn and Jasmine’s wedding earlier this month. The couple had their ceremony and reception at Cambewarra Estate Winery, which made the perfect backdrop for their wedding portraits. Thank you to this lovely couple and their families for including me in such a special time in your lives.

James and Alicia's Wedding
Below are photos from James and Alicia's wedding a couple of weeks ago in Culburra, NSW. Between the ceremony and reception, we managed to duck over to Orient Point for some intimate portraits, and I'm so glad we did.
James and Alicia were such a nice couple to photograph, they had a beautiful natural connection and it was obvious how much they loved just being in each other’s company.
Enjoy the photos!
The Pakes Wedding
I finished my 2017 weddings with Josh and Courtney Pakes and what a high note to end on! Who says you can't pull off a wedding the week of Christmas?
Their big day was held in Culburra, NSW and had a strong emphasis on family. I enjoyed watching the two families join as well as two parents make an even bigger commitment to one another.
Thank you for allowing me to celebrate this new chapter with you, your friends and families.
Happy New Year to the Newlyweds!
Styled Shoot at Soul
Just shy of two weeks ago Natalie and I went to Soul of Gerringong to collaborate with other passionate wedding vendors to showcase each of our work. We were really excited about this one because we were shooting a real couple. You may know the bride and groom, Tom owns his own personal training business Tom Baker Health and Fitness and the two founded Tomorrow Activewear.
In preparation for this editorial, we had a macrame especially made, a leather jacket embroidered and Natalie's father handmade the arbor out of copper.
We are looking forward to future opportunities to collaborate with other suppliers and have been noting the availability of everyone we have spoken to so far so we can line something up in the new year.
If you like what you see below, follow each of the vendors listed to see more of this shoot as well as their other work.

Melissa and Alex tie the knot
Melissa and Alex tied the knot a couple of weeks ago at Worrowing Estate in Jervis Bay. Their wedding was the perfect blend of rustic and romantic. Worrowing was such a great fit for their relaxed celebration with close friends and family.
A little more about the big day from the bride Melissa
"Our wedding was rustic with a touch of boho! It was very relaxed. We used minimal plastic and recycled everything. Even burning our bamboo plates, bowls and cutlery at the end of the night by throwing them in the fire pit. We built, made and borrowed almost everything. And of course everything was vegan. It feels good knowing our environmental footprint was minimal and our entire wedding was cruelty free."
Thank you Melissa and Alex for allowing me to celebrate your new marriage with you!

Brooke and Joel's wedding
Brooke and Joel's wedding was such a lovely intimate afternoon at Cupits Winery, a venue I was eager to shoot at. They said their "I do's" overlooking the beautiful vineyard and were joined by family and friends to celebrate their new marriage. They allowed me to take a photojournalistic approach to their day, capturing all the love in its truest form. Brooke and Joel were easy to get along with from the get go and their laid-back personalities made shooting their wedding a breeze.
