There are certain times when you’re invited to photograph a wedding at a truly personal location, knowing you’ll never have this opportunity again. Jaimee and Aarons wedding was just that with their special day at her parents farm in Byaduk near Hamilton. I arrived the day before where Jaimee and Aaron took me around the property to scout for the best lighting and locations. I was itching to get the camera to take some sample

With the gorgeous afternoon light we headed off to the Abbotsford Convent for photos with its old Eu
Before I introduce todays wedding let me tell you the story of Steve’s proposal to Amanda. Guys take note and girls, sorry, Amanda has her man.

Thanks Chris, We’ve been so busy since I last saw you that I’ve not had a chance to write to thank you for the brilliant album. We’ve looked at it countless times, and love it even more every time. All of our friends and family have commented on how amazing the quality of the album is, and that’s even before they begin to talk about the actual photos! The whole day has been captured exactly the way we
The email below, that Georgia and Matt sent me two days after shooting their wedding at Lindenwarrah, had me bursting at the seams with excitement. Have attached a sneak peak of two timeless images.
