Kangaroo Valley Family Session

I am officially in love with Kangaroo Valley! While shooting Tabitha and her lovely family last week I found so many great spots to explore. I am planning to come back with my wife and daughter, so if anyone has any suggestions on where we should eat let us know! 

If you were wondering where you recognise Tabitha from, she is the owner of Luscious Body Beautiful, a beauty salon in Nowra. Thank you for allowing me to meet you guys and join you on an afternoon stroll.

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!

Bermagui

Last weekend my wife and I decided to take a drive down to Bermagui, NSW. We wanted to check out her parent's house that is currently being built and the famous blue pool.

The double story steel-framed house is in Bermagui Heights, just a short stroll from the golf course. 

Here are some of the photos I shot on the day of the house and coastline.

Engagement Shoot

This morning I had the absolute pleasure of photographing some of my wedding clients for their engagement shoot. I consider myself so lucky to have turned a passion into a job. We met at Ben's Walk, which offered so many spots to work with. Here is a look at some of the moments shared between Tash and James.

Shoalhaven Brick and Tile

Last week I got to photograph all of the great products on offer at Shoalhaven Brick and Tile in South Nowra. I shot a mixture of photos in the shop, products in the yard and some of the machinery. The yard is huge and I came away from the session inspired to start my next landscaping project at home.

Thanks Diane for organising this session.

Adriana and Bens Wedding

With my wedding calendar filling up for 2018 I was excited that Adriana and Ben booked me for this year! They made it official in Sandon Point and had their reception in Fairy Meadow. It was such an honour to photograph this lovely couples wedding. They placed a big focus on their beautiful nieces and nephews and really made their marriage a celebration for all the family. From the moment I met the couple I felt so at ease with them both.

Check out some of the highlights from their wedding day!

Hyams Beach Family Shoot

I love photographing big families, especially when they share such a close bond. It's nice to see the way parents interact with their children and the doting love of grandparents. 

I try to make big group sessions as painless as possible. I like to take a walk with my clients and let them interact with each other. My goal is to capture the love between everyone as candid as possible. 

Here are some of my shots from the weekend with this lovely family at Hyams Beach in Jervis Bay.

Jervis Bay Family Shoot

I shot these photos a few months ago of Renee and her beautiful family. Having grown up in Jervis Bay Renee wanted the shoot to be in her local area. We met up at Moona Moona Creek in Huskisson and went for a stroll over to White Sands to take some relaxed photos with the kids. Its hard to fault the beaches on the South Coast!
