Melbourne City wedding – Raewyn & Craig
20 February, 2010 – 10:19 am
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.

I’ve never had a dog in my life but I photographed hundreds of them.
This is ‘Rodeo’ a red heeler that lives at Preston Vineyards, Washington State, USA. He was photographed for a book called Winedogs I worked on.
Rodeo loves Filet Mignon and hates getting a bath.
Melbourne wedding Marnie & Nick
9 February, 2010 – 4:19 pm
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.

Melbourne wedding photographer helps Haiti
21 January, 2010 – 10:02 pm
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.
NYE engagement shoot
18 January, 2010 – 1:09 pm
Hello Lovelies,
Yiota, Sam and I had been trying to coordinate an eshoot for 3 months and everytime one of was free the other wasn’t and on it went but we finally managed to nail down New Years Eve in the city where we all were along a further 50% of Melbourne’s population.
It was hot and very crowded but we had fun, can’t wait for your wedding!
Fun Melbourne Wedding
12 January, 2010 – 9:30 pm
Wow what an amazing day! Jill and Nick’s wedding was infused with a depth of love that was staggering, it really felt like a fairytale wedding.
Nick who had fallen madly in love with Jill the moment they met in New York 2 years ago then convinced her to marry him and move to Australia but this is no one way love story, both the bride and groom radiated the etherel spirit of two soul mates who had found each other and knew it .
The passion, love and commitment (and jokes) in Nick’s speech left not a dry eye in the house including mine.
In june there will be their 2nd ceremony in Vermont for Jill’s family and friends who couldn’t make it to Australia and I’m sure it will be just as passionate, beautiful and infused with a very special love.
Thank you so much for having me share your special day.

Year 7 graduation
18 December, 2009 – 9:59 pm
Noah finished primary school this year. It meant he got to wear a suit for the first time for his graduation dinner and play ‘oya coma va’ on bass in the school band at final assembly which he rocked.
He’s not usually keen on having his photo taken but he wanted himself in the suit recorded for posterity.
My heart just aches with pride and love right now.
Melbourne Church wedding Sarah & Matt
8 December, 2009 – 1:40 pm
Sarah and Matt are a beautiful couple. Both from ‘old school’ Port Melbourne families, thats the working class Port Melbourne from as little as 15 years ago as opposed to ultra chic, inner urban high rise locale full of hip people, advertising agencies and designer stores it is now. Although raised in the same suburb they didn’t meet till later in life when introduced by mutual friends. and despite having moved across the river to Spotswood Matt still plays footy for the local Port Colts.
These 2 have been together for 8 years now and are very in love. Sarah clearly was very excited about her wedding. Besides pouring in a massive amount of time organising it there was a daily countdown ‘xx sleeps to go’ on her Facebook page from about 3 weeks till the big day. Matt may not have been as extroverted in his excitment but the the look on his face in the church as Sarah made her entrance was heartfelt, moving and said it all.
The reception at Riva in Elwood followed for 180 of their closest family and friends. They arrived just as the rain started, the timing could not have been better. It was a big big night, these guys really knew how to party!
Thank you Sarah and Matt for asking me to share your journey, it was an absolute joy.
