I always love a Butleigh Wootton wedding, and Lily and Jason’s unique day was no exception. Jason and the boys rolled up in the morning with a box filled with photo booth goodies including props, Polaroid camera, and a corkboard to pin all their guest’s photos as their day unfolded. Lily was getting ready in the master bedroom, upstairs at Butleigh Wootton. Her warm smile set the scene for the day, as she climbed the grand sta

Kathleen and Jason had their wedding at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church with a very stylish reception at Butleigh Wootton. They all flew down a few days before from Queensland. Jason and the boys were very relaxed and having a few laughs when I arrived. His best man David was looked for cufflinks on line as he misplaced his own. The boys had gone Go Kart racing the day before, and yes Jason won. Rumours floated around th

When it comes to family portrait photography it’s knowing what to expect that gives me the opportunity to capture gorgeous photos like these of Michelle, Cy and Nadine. Michelle had come into the studio previously to get a new branding headshot for work.  You could say the headshot session was a very relaxed affair. I got to know a little more about Michelle who was originally from America and had called Melbourne home f

Maryse and Jude’s stylish Luminare wedding was such a relaxed, fun and heartfelt event. A lot of attention was put into every detail of their Sri Lankan wedding, especially the theming at Luminare. There seemed to be a little devine intervention regarding the story of how Maryse & Jude met. Maryse’s mother had found a pray card at the church they attended and started praying for her daughter to find a “go

The best lenses for wedding and portrait photography depends on what part of a wedding story you’re trying to capture. The lens can be more important than the camera itself as it determines the final image quality. There area hundreds of lens review websites that you can check out but I just want to focus, (pardon the pun), on which Nikon lenses I use for specific photos when it come to documenting a wedding story. Nikon

It is a privilege being able to document key moments in a family’s history. Reshmi and Kevin’s had given me this privilege. in 2010, when I photographed their amazing hindu wedding. The next chapter came when the handsome Henry joined the family. Incorporating Reshmi’s rich indian heritage, Henry was captured wrapped in his mums red wedding sari, at his new born session. Henry’s personality started to s

Quality lighting is one of the keys to great family portrait photography. Working with studio lights provides me with the ability to create a variety of artistic looks based on the vision I have for the final family portrait. Varun contacted me about capturing his family’s portrait and was interested in seeing whether a close up of Arya and Mayan faces, with the focus on their eyes, would show some of their inner world. Was in

Family photography for me has always been about documenting a point in history that, as a parent, goes away too quickly. In 2007 I photographed the gorgeous Lily with mum Kristina.  Since then mum and dad decided that Lily would also like a sister Zara in 2009, sister Eva in 2012 and sister Ruby in 2013. Each girl has such a distinctive warm personality along with their gorgeous long hair. The youngest, Ruby, is on her way to

Teena and Howie held their classical wedding ceremony and reception at the grand Butleigh Wootton. They had spent several years living in Hawthorn, after moving from Canada, and wanted me to capture the cobble stone lane ways and cafés that reminded them of why they loved this historic suburb. Met up with Howie and his groomsmen, as they got ready at the Quest Apartments. After a quick Google on how to tie a bow-tie, we moved
