Our good friends Katie and Simon have extended their little family with another handsome young man,  Mr Hamish. A little warming up was required for his first baby portrait session and then he was off and running.  Not to be outdone, brothers Jimmy and Sam also wanted to be part of the action, which resulted in this beautiful collection of fun family portraits. The bond between these three boys has us memorizes.

Viva Las Vegas was a perfect theme for Julie and Anthony’s wedding. “Bright light city set their souls on fire” when they first met there. Warning there might be some more Elvis references in this post. Julie looked amazing in her Kylie J.

Annabelle and Nick had their ceremony at some of my favourite locations, beginning with Newman Chapel at Melbourne University. The light inside this Art Deco Chapel has a magical glow. The Paris end of Collins Street was next where I love using the domed lights at Number 1 Collins and the arches at Number 8. Their reception was at Gary Mehigans very modern Fenix Restaurant.

First port of call was the Hilton Hotel South Wharf where Adam and the boys got ready in their Country Road suits.  The very resourceful Adam managed to get us access into their private Wine Cellar for some sensational photos. Jordana looks gorgeous in her Maggie Sottero dress with her shoes by Nude Shoes and flowers by Bouquet Melbourne. Leni Ducquet of Gorgeous Faces was fantastic with the girls makeup. We then moved onto th

I remember meeting Claire & Dean, at our initial consultation, where we spent alot of time sharing travel stories before nutting out the details of their wedding, that was held at Sacre Coeur. Claire’s dress was designed by Connie Simonetti and fit the classical theme to their day beautifully.  Location photos and reception were at Butleigh Wootton.  Dean seemed to have s
