Sarah & Adrian

Sarah and Adrian are definitely up there as one of the most fun couples I've photographed! Their entire wedding was full of laughs and more like a big party than a formal ceremony - just what they wanted. Highlights - Sarah's blundstones which she transformed into a pair of glittery danceshoes for the reception, and her transport to the venue. They got married at Wellers in Kangaroo Ground which has a lovely relaxing atmosphere, as well as a very cool tram on the grounds that's great for photos. Oh, and I forgot to mention that Sarah & Adrian have two of the cutest kids on the planet. Check out some photos below ...

Melissa & Phil

Melissa and Phil were married at Inglewood, a venue I seem to have been at quite a lot this season. I never get tired of it though as there are so many wonderful places to take photos and every time I go there I find yet another great spot. In the lead up to the wedding Phil claimed not to be looking forward to the photos, but he surprised us all on the day and was fantastic! The three of us ended up having heaps of fun and with stunning weather and the awesome colours Melissa had chosen for the day, it was impossible to take a bad shot!

Anna & Neel

If there was a competition to be the most happy and in-love couple I have ever photographed, Anna & Neel would win hands down. Neither of them could wipe the smile off their face all day and I have never seen a groom as excited as Neel was. They were married at St Patrick's Cathedral in Ballarat and as you'll see below we had a lot of fun taking the bridal party photos around the town afterwards. Anna and Neel, you are both such beautiful people and I feel extremely lucky to have met you and been chosen to photograph your day - all the best!




I love this shot - the father of the groom greeting the mother of the bride before the ceremony!
St Patrick's Cathedral in Ballarat - just stunning!
A moment captured between the bride and groom during the ceremony...
One of my favourite times to take candids during the day - following the ceremony when the bride and groom mingle among the guests.
A quick snap of the flower girl outside the church. I nearly screamed when I got this shot, I knew it was going to be a beauty! A low aperture has blurred the gravel background to give it a beautiful soft feel - proof that you don't need a studio and backdrop to take stunning portraits, nothing beats natural light!





We decided to have a little bit of fun with the leaves...
... after which Neel had to spend a few minutes getting them all out of Anna's hair and face! :)






I just love this shot of the boys all looking so happy - it really captures the mood of the day!
And to finish, a picture of the bridal waltz which Anna and Neel had obviously been working on - good job, guys!
