Melbourne wedding photography – Jodi & Aaron

What a fun, beautiful couple, words can’t describe how in love they are, everytime we met them it was palpable, the energy of two very compatible people carried their wedding day with an effortless grace, it was beautiful.

Jodi and Aaron both love the sea, they met on a scuba diving course 4 1/2 years ago, they both surf and live near the ocean . In terms of joint interests I don’t think I’ve met a couple who enjoy doing so much together

Now can you guess where Aaron proposed to Jodi?…. No, it wasn’t in the Simpson desert or on the Nullabor plain it was…..Suprise, suprise…you guessed it, in the ocean,  on a scuba diving trip on Hamilton Island in fact. Jodi thought Aaron had been acting a bit strange that day so when Aaron tugged her flipper and Jodi turned round to see Aaron holding a ring and on one knee as much as someone can at 16 metres under water giving the thumbs up or thumbs down signal it all became apparent.

The wedding was a beautiful bright sunny day just like Jodi and Aaron, the service was held at Dalywaters Rose Farm in Mornington a perfect place

then the reception at Merricks General Store, a beautiful warm venue and just up the road from one of their favorite surf beaches.

It was a beautiful wedding, and thanks so much for having me capture it for you.

I love Jewish weddings.

They’re fun and wild, what a way to start your married life!

My partner in crime for the day was the very pregnant and uber talented Meredith O’Shea. More soon.

melbourne wedding photographer Qemal & Sarah – Part 1

Wow wow wow!!! Qemal and Sarah are such an awesome couple and their wedding was nothing short of incredible. Seeing 2 people who are so in love and right for each other never ceases to take my breath away, its intoxicating and makes what I do so enjoyable.

Sarah is also the 4th bride from USA/Canada I’ve photographed this year who’s married an Australian!! What is it with Australian men ? But they are the only ones who still live in the States but chose to exchange their vows in Shepparton where Qemal’s family hails from.

With an extended coverage and so many great images to be had at this wedding I’ve broken the blog into 2 parts, the next installment to follow very soon.

The footy is back

Yes Lovelies the footy is back and kicks off tomorrow night with the Carlton v Richmond clash at the ‘G’

Football (Australian rules) supporters here passion knows no limits and witness Nick, a fanatical Carlton (blues) follower who shamelessly used his wedding night as part of the unrelenting quest to convert Jill, his beautiful Stateside bride and recent arrival to Australia to imbue his passion for the Carlton football club.

I think he was saying ‘I love you, I’m so glad you married me and go Blues’

Melbourne wedding photographer helps Haiti

Hello Lovelies,

Like all of you I was shocked and saddened by the devastation in Haiti. There was one image on the news website of a boy about 3 or 4 crying being carried away by a rescuer, I couldn’t but help think he was probably now an orphan. Could you think of anything worse to happen a child of that age? So to do my bit I’m donating 10% of the fees for the next wedding booked direct to Red Cross. The donation will be made under the name of the couple booking so get on board, get married, get great photography and help the devastation in Haiti.

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.

Mornington Peninsula garden wedding

Rosalie and Chris got married in a beautiful garden wedding at Crittenden Estate.

With 2 children of their own and and many friends and family attending with kids too it was a very child friendly wedding with lots of laughter and kids and parents running around on the lawns playing chasy.

Chris and Rosie were glowing and radiated love, it was palpable. They’re 2 children have very special parents that really understand whats important in life. It was a privilige to be a part of their wedding.

Quality food was extremely important to them and was the deciding factor in choosing to have their wedding there and on that I must concur.
