It’s a tough call, they’re just so different 🫠

Currently making my way through Hannah and Toms final gallery and making the tough choices 😂

Have you heard of blue hour? It’s my favourite time of day for a photoshoot. I’m almost certain by now you’ve heard of golden hour. The hour before sunset, when the gorgeous streaky light hits, the sunlight comes in sideways and you can get some really gorgeous effects, super flattering light loved by photographers the world over.

Well not many people strategise their photoshoots to also include blue hour, which hits after the sun goes down. The sun keeps lighting up the sky, but in a very flattering way, the entire sky becomes one huge soft box, throwing soft light across everything, shadows basically disappear and the aesthetic is almost creamy and smooth. It’s absolutely gorgeous and I always try and make sure our last light photoshoots contain about 10minutes of golden hour, and 15-20minutes of blue hour.

What do you think? Had you heard of it? Will you or do you use it? Which do you prefer?

Did you guys realise this as kids? Or were you like me?

I didn’t realise superman was flying faster than light around the earth therefore causing time to reverse.

I always thought he was flying soooo fast and putting the brakes on the earth, then reversing its motion. I had no idea why simply pulling the earth backward would cause time to reverse, or why no one anywhere didn’t feel the cataclysmic effects of the earth coming to a sudden stop lol!

If you’re not too sure about “posing” on your wedding day I’m here to help! Here’s 6 poses literally everyone can do which are super simple and look great, so don’t worry, you’re leaving the wedding with at least a handful of great photos, but in reality, probably a lot more!!

My photoshoots are all about getting you interacting in a natural way using simple activity based prompts or poses like this and then building on them.

Save this and send to your partner before the wedding day 🤍

Before you accept the $ find out if there are strings attached!

At first it might appear as generosity, mum and dad want to help contribute to ease the financial burden of a wedding. But so many times I’ve seen that develop into the parents using their contribution as leverage to have things their way (which might not also be your way).

I’ve seen parents demand certain vendors that they choose be hired, certain friends or family members or other guests be invited, and alll kinds of other demands or conditions.

It’s best you find out what they want before you accept as your day with or without the $ and with or without their conditions can mean you’re having a very different wedding than you may be picturing.

How to do you family photos and get them done in the least amount of time;

1. Have a list, the list should just be first names, in groupings:

Tom, Jane, Sally, Sam
Tom , Jane, Sally, Sam, Brian, Kim
All the smiths: Tom, Jane, Sally, Sam, Brian, Kim, Kevin, Megan

There’s no need to number the groups, or assign individual people ‘id numbers’, no colour codes, just first names, people know who they are.

2. Photo Captains: get a couple of people who know everyone to find the people and organise them (choose wisely, I’ve had some amazing photo captains and some rubbish photo captains lol)

3. Limit your photos to only the necessities or the people you actually want photos with or of. So many people are shocked to find out how hard it can be to wrangle everyone, and many couples watch their cocktail hour happening without them because they’re waiting on extended family members to organise themselves and the couple don’t even really want a photo with them anyway.

Good luck!!

If you’re going for a quintessential South Australian wedding then you’re likely eyeing off a series of wineries! Not much says South Australia than a shot in front of the vines.

Here’s just a handful of favourites you should definitely put on the research list, did I miss any? Where would you@like to see some shots from?

This is wedding photography! It often calls for us to work no matter the conditions; rain, hail, shine or heat. Loooooong coverage times, 12-16hour days with minimal breaks are very common. Many never even dip their toe into the wedding photography world because the pressure of a no redo event that carries such gravitas is too much stress. But I absolutely love this world of weddings!
