Melbourne City wedding – Raewyn & Craig

Raewyn and Craig met at a school party in 2001 where they were introduced by mutual friends. Despite having spent much of their childhood in the same area they didn’t meet till this fateful night and it was love at first sight.

The following year Craig and Raewyn shacked up and have been living together ever since then On Christmas day 2007, under their Christmas tree, amongst the other presents, Craig asked Raewyn to marry him, Merry Xmas!

Their wedding was a perfect reflection of them. Raewyn’s stunning dress from the very talented Izaro Haute Couture,  the service was held in the foyer of 333 Collins St, so classical and elegant with its ornate high domed ceiling. The reception was at Sketch in Docklands , funky, modern and walking distance home. What more can you ask for?

All the best for your continuing journey together and thanks for entrusting me with capturing your wedding, it was an honour and a pleasure.

Melbourne wedding Marnie & Nick

I had a call from Marnie early December, heres a paraphrase of that call “We’re getting married in 6 weeks, I’ve been following your blog for a year, I love your work and want you to photograph our wedding”……Now if you love a photographer, trying to book them 6 weeks out is a very risky business but as luck would have it they chose the only Saturday I had free in January but it got me thinking about a couple who operate like that. After meeting them and hearing their story I felt I kinda understood.

Marnie and Nick met through a mutual friend in the south of France in 2002 where they were both living and working at the time.
They were moving in a James Bond like world with Marnie working as personal chef for a ‘Russian Billionaire’ taking her at a moments notice anywhere on the globe catering for him and his glitteratti guests. Nick, a seaman, had a similar clientele driving luxury yachts of the mega rich around the Mediterranean but having now met these 2 Melbournite’s, so far from home, fell in love setting the foundations of this wedding in place.
In 2005 Nick returned to Melbourne to study and further his sea-mans skills. This meant 2 years living apart  indispersed with globe spanning liaisons anywhere from Argentina, The Maldives, Cuba, south of France and….. even Melbourne, anywhere they could meet. In early 2008 Marnie moved back to Melbourne to be with Nick and in her words, “have a life together” it was time for a change.

With 100 of their friends and closet family they tied the knot in a beautiful, simple ceremony at the Royal Melbourne Yacht Squadron in St Kilda, a fitting venue given the nautical theme in their lives. With Marnie now 6 months pregnant the next chapter of their lives is well under way. All the best my friends, it was an honor to be a part of you’re wedding day.

First day of summer

Given the 30 something degree temprature here in Victoria on Sunday I was lucky enough to find myself on Jan Juc beach that afternoon.

As soon as I looked up the beach into the warm late afternoon light I felt summer was here, I knew the water would be cold but I had to dive in . If the waves were a bit more body surfable I would have stayed in longer or at least, thats what I told myself,instead I retreated to the beach to watch happy dogs and people enjoying the afternoon as much as I was.

Jill and Nick’s engagement shoot

Hello lovelies,

Some images from Jill and Nick’s beautiful engagement shoot. We had a ball shooting around The Convent and Collingwood Childrens Farm.

Nick met Jill, a native American while on holiday in New York where Jill was living in April 2008. It was love! Following that a long distance relationship

ensued until Nick in Janurary this year, down on one knee, wearing snow shoes in the Vermont winter proposed to Jill.

A few months later Jill moved to Melbourne to be with Nick and are now planning the first of their 2 weddings which will be in Melbourne, can’t wait.
