I haven't posted on here in a while - this seems like a good reason to do so:

Two of my photos have again been named finalists in the 'International Wedding Photographer of the Year' Awards. Boom.

Huge thanks to all at International Wedding Photographer of the Year, the judges and the sponsors.

Even bigger thanks to the stars of these shots: Dom + Drew, and Jooce + Dippa. You make me look good.

We haven't been sharing anything on here of late, but now's a great time to pick things back up again, with this absolute gem of a day: Chenoa + Jamie's Glasshaus Inside wedding, held during Melbourne's Stage 3 lockdown.

To any engaged couples wondering what their upcoming wedding day might look like if this pandemic gets in the way, take a look at this...

Thanks to modern technology and an intense community spirit, you can still have the most incredible, joyous and moving celebration - with everyone you love (virtually) by your side.

Captured by my love Alastair Innes Filmmaker, for She Takes Pictures He Makes Films. Featuring the lovely Marry Me Megan, Rokk Ebony salon, a title illustration by Caro Facelli, and a soundtrack from Allebasi.

I haven't been posting on here of late... let's remedy that.

A Together Journal feature on a truly unique celebration - the theatrical and lavish wedding of Ellen + Matthew, held at Elthem's seemingly-medieval artists' retreat, Montsalvat:

Alastair's latest film, from my home town of Adelaide; the epic, non-stop party for lovely Victoria + Wade.

Captured for our Film/Photo collaboration 'She Takes Pictures He Makes Films'.

Hours of greek dancing, a Nordburger feast and photo shoot, back-to-back ceremonies celebrating the couple's diverse culture heritages, and a solid attempt at the world record for back-bending dance floor scotch shots...

Enjoy x

I somehow totally missed the fact that my work for 'She Takes Pictures He Makes Films' has again been included in Capture magazine's ‘Annual’ issue, showcasing the best of Australian photography for 2018.

Stoked.

This shot from Ben + Kiera’s Palm Beach celebration is the one that made the cut; dramatic underexposures in full sun for the win.

Huge thanks to Capture Mag for this honour, and to these two for being such adventurous and stylish legends.

Stylish as hell.
