Anthony and Leah's Wedding

With Anthony and Leah’s decision to have a Southern Highlands autumn wedding, their focus was on incorporating the warm, rich, earthy and vibrant colours into their day. They took inspiration from the landscape and used this throughout the styling and florals.

The couple selected an incredible venue in Moss Vale, Mali Brae Farm, which is set on 90 acres of idyllic and picturesque grounds. The ceremony was held in the Pavilion which was full of romantic ambiance created by the beautiful decor and crystal chandeliers. Behind the couple guests had captivating views through the expansive windows overlooking the rolling hills.

The Barn played host to the couples sit down reception which was rich in character and rustic sophistication. They enjoyed toasts from their loved ones, the first meal as husband and wife and they finished the night surrounded by their bridal party on the dance floor.

Anthony and Leah took great care in planning every aspect of their wedding, ensuring no detail was overlooked. Kyle and our team were so happy to be part of this special celebration and we wish the newlyweds congratulations!

Sean and Lara's Homestead Wedding

Sean and Lara set out to have a beautiful country wedding and that’s exactly what they did. While engaged, they stumbled across their dream wedding venue, The Homestead and they knew it was the perfect fit for them to tie the knot.

They started the morning in seperate cottages where they each got ready for the first look. Sean was waiting on the jetty with his back facing his soon to be bride as Lara made her way toward him. She placed her hand on his shoulder and he turned around to see her for the first time. In this moment you could feel the love, which really set the tone for the whole day. By having a first look early in the day, the couple was able to calm each others nerves, greet their families and have some portraits before heading off to the ceremony.

They tied the knot outside the silo in a garden ceremony which was officiated by Alisha Perkins who added a light hearted warmth to the celebration. Once married they set off for some more photos before making their way back to the Cow Shed for the reception. They enjoyed a night of speeches and dancing as they celebrated becoming husband and wife.

Sean and Lara’s Homestead wedding was the perfect reminder of why I love what I do, congratulations guys - you did it!

The Hartigan Family

Today I am sharing a few of my favourite photos from my recent session with The Hartigan Family. Jonathan and Katie decided to have their photos taken locally and they wanted a country setting with tall trees and open paddocks so we met up in West Nowra for some morning portraits. It was nice to catch up and see how Jude has grown since our last booking. Here are some of the highlights from our Sunday morning.

Callala Engagement Session

Deciding to spend forever with your best friend, that’s the easy part. Picking a photo location to have your engagement session, that’s where it gets a little more difficult. You want a beautiful setting where we can create memorable moments for the two of you. Lucky for us on the south coast, we have so many beaches with white sand and crystal clear water to choose from. Keiran and Kimberley wanted to have their photos taken at Callala Beach ahead of their wedding. Not only were their beloved furry friends part of their engagement shoot, they were also there to witness Keiran’s proposal earlier this year. Congratulations on your engagement guys!

The Lowe Family

Earlier this month I caught up with two of my favourite past wedding clients Cal and Maddy in the Southern Highlands for a family shoot. It was so nice to see them both and meet their beautiful daughter Airlie. We had a really nice morning exploring The Secret Garden and capturing some moments as a family of three. You can tell she is one very lucky girl to have two parents who love her so much!

Jarrod and Dayna's Wedding

We’re obsessed with the colourful and fun vibe of Jarrod and Dayna’s vibrant Jervis Bay wedding! The couple hired the exclusive use of The Cove, a waterfront resort that allowed them to have friends glamp and stay in cabins for a multi-day celebration. Dayna was a no-stress bride who completely trusted her team of vendors to bring her vision to life. The result - a beautiful coastal wedding with pops of bright colour.

The morning started with Jarrod and Dayna getting ready with the bridal party. Dayna surprised her bridesmaids with a first look which made for an unforgettable moment. The couple tied the knot overlooking the beach in an afternoon ceremony. Once married, they set off into the national park surrounding the venue for portraits as the sun began to set. They entered the reception through sparkler tunnel formed by their guests. Throughout the reception, there were heartfelt speeches, delicious food and drinks, a hilarious shoe game and a jam backed dance floor.

We had so much fun capturing this gorgeous celebration and we cannot wait to show you the video!

Lachlan and Emma's Engagement Session

Earlier this week I was chatting to my wedding clients Lachlan and Emma about potentially postponing their engagement session. We had planned for sunset portraits on the beach in Jervis Bay and the rain was getting pretty hard. These two had the best attitude and said let’s do it anyway and I am so glad they did.
