Jess & Mick’s Art Deco Wedding

Posted in Wedding Photography No comments

The Blue Mountains are renowned for delivering weather of 4 seasons in one day. 2 years since moving here I am starting to really understand the truth of that phrase. I awoke at 5am on the morn of Jess & Mick’s Spring wedding to hear rain pelting the windows and thunder rumbling outside. By the time I arrived to meet a charmingly nervous Mick, the skies had cleared away the storm in time for a bright and sunny, love-filled wedding. Perfect.

The weather, and concern over what it will or won’t do can cause a great deal of stress in the lead up to a wedding day. I recommend that all my Bride’s having an outdoor ceremony check out Hire an Umbrella based in Sydney. For me at my own wedding, having the knowledge that I had ‘backup’ was a great relief, as many other Bride’s have agreed. Even if you don’t have to use it, knowing they are there is a great comfort.

Pauline & Rick’s Everglades Wedding

Posted in family photography No comments

Pauline and Rick have created a gorgeous family together, and recently they gathered with family and friends at the Everglades Gardens in Leura to make official their partnership in life.

I am so lucky that warm and relaxed people are attracted to my style of storytelling. Amidst all the chaos of early breakfasts with children, garden sprinklers spraying through hotel windows and much more, Pauline and Rick remained quietly ecstatic and focussed on the true meaning and importance of their day – their love for one another.

So many people ask to see the shots I took when people weren’t posing, the candid shots. 90% of what I do is candid, the real people being who they are together. I may ask you to stand in a certain spot or walk down a particular path however the true gems that you see are when Bride and Groom allow themselves to be together in front of the camera.

Our time together after your ceremony is an intimate time for you to revel in your love, let it all sink in and steal a moment for yourselves amidst the craziness and chaos of your whirlwind day. It is not a performance, a fashion show. It’s real affection, real emotion. Real love.
