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

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.

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

On an overcast windy day, Sarah and Tim had their wedding at St Augustine’s Parish in Melbourne with their reception at Fenix. It felt like I was capturing a close friends wedding story in Melbourne with Sarah and Tim. Each time we caught up we would share our travel stories, along with the food we loved, only to realise that we better start talking about the actual wedding itself. Their love for fine wine had us drop into the

There are times when someone see an amazing image and tells the photographer, that their camera really takes great photos. Thought I’ll test this theory to see if it’s the type of camera used, or a photographer’s knowledge and years of experience in lighting, composition and exposure, that creates an amazing image. Set up a controlled experiment in the studio where, lighting, background, subject matter (me, yes not that exciti

Documenting Lauren and Andrew Sunbury Wedding at Our Lady Mt Carmel Church started with a relaxing drive to their home with planes flying overhead as I passed the airport. Photography was a very important element to the natural way they wanted their story told. It was very candid approach with the boy’s eager to light up their cigars and pour the scotch once the suits were on. Meanwhile, Lauren and the girls were relaxed, with

Rachel and Daniel were married in front of close family and friends at Kingdom Hall with a stylish Fenix wedding reception. Rachel’s family all flew in from Perth for the wedding. With her brother and two sisters, nieces and nephews, mum and dad, it was on for young and old when I entered her room at the Royce Hotel. Mum and her sisters helped Rachel get into her gorgeous Raffaele Ciuca dress with her Benjamin Adams shoes brou

With my passion for documentary photography, I’d love to share one of my recent personal projects. Greek Easter, growing up, revolved around three key elements for me. Becoming a vegan for 7 days and fasting. I had it easy as you are ment to do it for 40 days. Attending midnight mass on Saturday night, with our candles lit, while eagerly waiting for the fireworks to explode above our heads; or on someones head at times.
