Brett and Jenna's Three Blue Ducks Wedding

Brett and Jenna had their hearts set on a fun city wedding packed with modern styling and all of their favourite people. That’s why, when it came to getting married they knew the perfect location to host their big day - Three Blue Ducks in Rosebery.

With the help of some talented vendors, they transformed this incredible Sydney warehouse into the most gorgeous space for an intimate soiree. Sea Thistle Floriography added bursts of colourful florals onto clear plinths that framed the couple for the indoor ceremony. It was here, they exchanged their rings and the sweetest vows. Once married they shared a first kiss and walked down the aisle as official newlyweds. We spent some time in the afternoon taking portraits around the venue before joining their guests for a night of celebrating.

Congratulations Brett and Jenna on your marriage and thank you for having me capture all the fun!

Gabe and Sienna's Wedding

On the 30th of September surrounded by friends and family Gabe and Sienna tied the knot. They said “I do” in an afternoon ceremony on a private property located in Nowra Hill. They stuck to tradition and spent the morning apart, seeing each other for the first time at the end of the aisle. Once they shared their first kiss, exchanged rings and signed the marriage documents they joined Kyle for some portraits by the Shoalhaven River.

They later re-joined their guests back at the bush property for an afternoon reception in the marquee. The whole day was a lot of fun for the newlyweds!

The Benko Family

Last week I visited the Benko family for a 6 month baby photoshoot. What a lovely way to celebrate such a sweet milestone in Nash’s life. At 6 months old little ones are full of expression. During our session, there were lots of smiles and giggles and Nash was very eager to explore his surroundings with mum and dad. We spent most of the time in the nursery capturing a very typical day with a baby, from playing to feeding and everything in between.

Thank you for inviting me into the home to capture these precious moments.

Sussex Inlet Family Session

With another one on the way Blake and Laura decided it was the perfect time to update their family photos. We met at Cudmirrah so the kids could roam free and I could capture some natural photos of the Tuke’s enjoying an afternoon at the beach. Congratulations Laura on your pregnancy and all the best with the birth!

Nicole and Shontelle's Figbird Wedding

Nicole and Shontelle chose to tie the knot in beautiful Terara on the NSW South Coast. They spent the morning getting ready at Figbird before laying eyes on each other for the first time at the end of the aisle in their garden ceremony.

They knew they wanted a celebrant who made sure the day was full of fun and personality so they had Shoshanna Vernham officiate the marriage. During the ceremony Shoshanna shared their love story in the most beautiful way, which had both girls shed a tear. They stood hand in hand as they exchanged rings, vows and their first kiss as a married couple.

Once officially married they explored the beautiful grounds of Figbird for some afternoon portraits before later joining their guests for the reception. They kicked things off with a round of toasts on the lawn right as the sun was settle. Their special day ended with the dance floor full of friends and family circling the newlyweds.

Congratulations Nicole and Shontelle and thank you for sharing your special day with our team.

Brendan and Sally's Kangaroo Valley Wedding

Having both grown up on the south coast, Brendan and Sally decided to tie the knot locally, in Kangaroo Valley. In the lead up to their big day the couple visited Tallowa Dam to see if it would make a suitable spot for the bridal portraits and they fell in love with the location. The dam holds a special place in the brides heart as her grandfather helped build it.

Brendan and Sally spent the morning of their wedding with the bridal party getting ready at Saddle Ridge, a beautiful Hamptons style homestead.

Picture this, an outdoor ceremony set on a 42 acre property with stunning views of nearby mountains and national park. The groomsmen arrived on push bikes while Sally was escorted down the aisle by her father. The couple exchanged heartfelt vows and rings before sharing their first kiss as husband and wife. Once married they joined their bridesmaids and groomsmen for some portraits around the property.

They kicked the night off in the marquee with a round of toasts from their loved ones. As the sun began to set they cut the cake and made their way onto the dance floor for the bridal waltz.

The whole wedding was a lot of fun to be part of, keep scrolling to see all the best bits from their day.

Wayde and Lexi's Canberra Wedding

Wayde and Lexi had a special vision for their big day. They wanted to blend the beauty of the outdoors with the charm of a modern chapel, so they chose to tie the knot at Gold Creek. They spent the morning apart, preparing for the day at Peppers in New Acton before making their way to the ceremony.

The ceremony was light hearted and had all their loved ones smiling the whole time. The highlight was when their son presented the rings to his parents before they were officially married. The ceremony was decorated with breathtaking floral arrangements that perfectly matched the bridal bouquets.

They spent the afternoon with the bridal party having their portraits taken before making their way to Parlour for the reception. I had so much fun capturing the wedding of Wayde and Lexi, here are my most favourite memories from the day.

The Scerri Family

The Scerri family was a such a nice bunch to work with during their outdoor family photo session. I had a great time capturing these guys just hanging out. It’s so important to get your family together every once in a while for some updated photos, because time flies and as the kids get older getting everyone together gets harder and harder. Here are some of the highlights from our afternoon together.

Branding Session with Ivy Lane Collective

One of my most recent sessions was with the girls at Ivy Lane Collective. I have worked alongside Elyza and her team in the wedding industry since the beginning of my business back in 2017. When Elyza reached out for a branding shoot I was eager to see what a day in the life of a florist looks like. I have seen the amazing floral work these girls create for weddings so going behind the scenes was something new and so much fun! They really do pour their passion and talent into everything they do, what an incredibly talented bunch of girls.

Laura and Billy's Engagement Session at Sydney Botanical Gardens

Spring in Australia is such a beautiful time of year for engagement photos. I met up with Billy and Laura at the Sydney Botanical Gardens over the October long weekend for a morning session with their kids. We explored the grounds and captured some beautiful photos in front of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House.

Having got to know the couple during our shoot I am now really looking forward to capturing their upcoming wedding!

Scott and Elli's Paddington Reservoir Gardens Engagement Session

Give us a a fun loving couple in a gorgeous location any day! I had so much fun photographing Scott and Elli’s engagement session in Paddington Reservoir Gardens over the October Long weekend. We were so lucky that the Sydney heat wave meant we basically had the place to ourselves.

Congratulations Scott and Elli on your engagement, see you guys at the wedding!

Lachlan and Raegan's Wedding at Hazelhurst Gallery

Lachlan and Raegan had a clear vision for their Hazelhurst Art Gallery wedding. They wanted to keep some things traditional like Raegan wearing a white gown and being given away by her father, but when it came to the styling they knew they wanted to add a modern twist. With an amazing team of vendors, their big day was bursting with colour and was full of excitement.

They held their garden ceremony in the afternoon which meant they could head straight into the reception, only stopping to have some quick portraits as the sun began to set. The Art Gallery made the perfect venue for the night, with its colourful walls and ambient lighting. They decorated the room with baby’s-breath and added a neon sign, reminding guests to hit the dance floor. The reception was a nod to their fun side - with heart shaped sunglasses, disco cowgirl boots and a personalised denim jacket. The night ended with a sparkler send off for the newlyweds.

What a unique wedding to be part of, congratulations guys!

Thomas and Emily's Wedding at The Homestead Berry

Tom and Emily’s Homestead wedding was such a fun day, this fun loving couple created the most easy going atmosphere that perfectly mirrored their relaxed personalities. They chose a beautiful spring colour palette which added warmth and colour to the styling.

They chose to say “I do” with the ivy covered Silo as the backdrop and their fur baby as the ring bearer. They kicked off the celebration with an afternoon ceremony surrounded by the country homestead, followed by a reception in The Cow Shed which featured banquet dining tables that were decorated beautifully with dried florals. The party then moved to the dance floor, where Tom and Emily shared a romantic first dance.

One of my favourite moments from the day was right after the portraits when the bridal party surprised Tom and Emily with their gift, a live artist who was painting the couple in real time. This was a hilarious reveal as the couple were both very confused who the mystery guest was.

The whole day was a lot of fun and we were so happy to be there to capture it all.

Congratulations Tom and Emily!

Jake and Amanda's Wedding at The Cove Jervis Bay

For Jake and Amanda Jervis Bay will always hold a special place in their hearts, because it is here that they tied the knot. There was so much to love about their big day at The Cove, from the personalised wedding newspaper, to the giant LOVE letters and everything in between.

The boys kicked the day off with a dip in the ocean, while the girls spent the morning getting all dolled up in the glam room. Once ready the couple met for the first time at the end of the aisle, in this moment the nerves had settled and they were ready to start their forever. They said “I do”overlooking the ocean in a ceremony which was officiated by local celebrant Todd Mayhew who added a layer of humour to this fun loving couples day.

As the sun began to set the couple filled up the champagne tower for their guests who were enjoying cocktail hour on the lawn. With some ice cream in hand they set off with our team for some portraits on the beach.

It wasn’t long before the bridal party was back with charged glasses for a round of toasts to the newlyweds and to watch them cut their heart shaped retro cake and hit the dancefloor.

Not a single detail was overlooked at Jake and Amanda’s wedding, they made sure the aesthetic and the vibes were both immaculate!

Tom and Georgia's Linneus Farm Wedding

Right from the start, Tom and Georgia were determined to have a wedding that was uniquely theirs. They had one goal in mind, and that was to throw an incredible celebration for their friends and family. And they definitely succeeded! From the standout florals, modern styling, and the incredible property - their wedding was a magical affair.

Georgia and Tom hosted their special day at a family friends private property in Berry and it provided the perfect country landscape for their garden ceremony and gorgeous reception. They transformed the barn into an elegant space fit with disco balls and chandeliers.

They infused every aspect with their own unique style and personal touch. They had their guests all wear black which created a luxury timeless feel. I’m looking forward to seeing the day on film as they had their guests capture the whole event on old school camcorders.

Congratulations Tom and Georgia and thank you for sharing your special day with me!

Nadia and Alessandro's Jervis Bay Engagement Shoot

Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of joining Alessandro and Nadia for a breathtaking afternoon engagement session at the picturesque Blenheim Beach in Jervis Bay. As the sun began to set it cast a warm, romantic glow across the powdery white sands and crystal-clear waters, it was impossible not to be captivated by the love from this beautiful couple. Against the backdrop of the tranquil bay and the gentle lapping of waves, Alessandro and Nadia's connection was nothing short of amazing.

Congratulations Nadia and Alessandro on your engagement!

Hashi and Viyan's Bendooley Estate Wedding

Hashi and Viyan chose the most beautiful venue for their wedding, Bendooley Estate in the Southern Highlands. They decided to start the day with an intimate first look before making their way to the Stables where they were joined by friends and family for an afternoon ceremony. One very sweet thing I noticed was that Hashi and Viyan held hands the entire time.

Once married the newlyweds shared a first kiss and made their way down the aisle with the biggest smiles on their faces. After capturing some portraits amidst the captivating scenery of Bendooley, the newlyweds returned to the reception venue for an intimate dinner and a romantic first dance, which was the highlight of the evening. The entire day was undeniably magical!

Jess and Ben's Sussex Inlet Engagement Session

Engagement photos can be a nerve-wracking process, especially if you’re not used to being in front of the camera. For Ben and Jess their engagement session was a great opportunity to feel more comfortable ahead of their upcoming wedding. We met up in my hometown Sussex Inlet to capture some photos by the lake, here are a few of my favourites. See you guys soon!

The Gulloni Family

A big congratulations goes out to Tash and James who have recently welcomed their newest addition to the family, little Ava. It was so nice to catch up with these guys, especially to capture another special moment in their lives. Ava is one very loved little girl and Billy is one very proud big brother!

Sheridan and Laura's Homestead Wedding

Picture this, a gorgeous burst of pastel florals, two beautiful brides, and modern styling, all coming together against a stunning country landscape. Laura and Sheridan’s Homestead wedding was as dreamy as it was magical.

The girls started their morning off together in the salon with hair and makeup before separating to get into their gowns. They met on the lawn for a private first look which helped them calm their nerves and build excitement for the day. The Silo set the stage for a truly romantic ceremony, the girls were framed with a white arbour which had been decorated with a mix of dried and fresh florals. Once married Sheridan and Laura made their way back down the aisle, hand in hand, covered in bright confetti.

The reception was held in the Cow Shed which had been decorated with the most stunning flowers and candles. The girls injected their quirky personalities into the planning of the day and I loved it all, from the two piece suit, to the crocs, to the retro cake and the fun heart sunglasses - every bit them and every bit perfect.

Live, laugh, love lesbians.
