Elise and Tom's Wedding at Bendooley

As Tom and Elise began planning their special day, they wanted an unforgettable, close-knit affair celebrating their love with their nearest and dearest. With connection being their top priority, they had a clear-cut picture of their dream wedding: an intimate gathering in a picturesque setting. And that is precisely what they accomplished. Their Bendooley wedding was filled with stunning details and meaningful intimate moments.

The Southern Highlands estate made the perfect backdrop for the ceremony, which took place in the beautiful gardens. Breathtaking florals framed the couple as they said their “I do’s.” They spent the afternoon exploring the grounds for the portraits before making their way back to the Book Barn for a sit-down dinner. You could feel the love in the room as the speeches took everyone on a trip down memory lane. While a marriage signifies the start of a new chapter, it was also lovely to hear what led Tom and Elise to this special day.

The Godlewski Family

I recently had the pleasure of photographing the Godlewski family and their newest addition, baby Giselle. The family was so excited to welcome their precious little girl into the world, and it was an honour to capture this special moment in their lives.

The shoot took place in the comfort of the Godlewski's home, because the aim of the session was to capture natural authentic moments. Giselle was an absolute angel throughout the entire shoot, and her two older sisters were very proud to introduce me.

As we moved through the different combinations, I could feel the love and warmth that this family shared. Andy and Abby were so proud of their new bundle of joy, and Georgia and Grace were just as smitten with their new baby sister.

Thank you for sharing such a special moment with me and congratulations once again!
