THE COUPLE / From the second I met Andy and Colm, I knew they would be an easy breezy couple to spend the day with and as soon as they said they had chosen me as their wedding photographer, I could not wait. Their storytelling about how they first met, their connection and their playfulness was so warming, I knew they would be a pleasure to shoot. THE SET UP / Andy and Colm opted for an intimate wedding at a unique and private wedding venue in the Gold Coast hinterland, with

I'm so happy to be able to call, local Gold Coast photo memory business, Imogen Stone, an MNDY partner. They print photos on stone! A photographer's dream to have such a unique and beautiful way to display photos. We had a quick chat with Creative and Founder behind these natural stone beauties, Sean Connolly, to find out a little more about the brand and their products. _____ How are your products made? We handcraft and print all of our stone products in our workshop on the

For me, I wouldn't say Lauren and Chris's wedding day got off to the best start. Not an ideal start, with a dead car battery! Luckily I had left enough buffer time to be rescued by angel Nico from RACQ and make it to the first location in one piece with the Bride none the wiser (thank you discreet Bridesmaids!) From there, the day vastly improved with a super chilled Groom and Bride. Despite a Bridal Party of 12 plus two 3 year olds and an over enthusiastic pooch, the vibe at

Upon my first meeting with Lucy, it was clear, this wedding was going to be different. Intimate, low key and super special. I’m a firm believer that all weddings should be unique, for the traditionalists, the dreamers + even the non believers. Every wedding should be completely yours + only yours, free from expectations. This was absolutely the case for Lucy and Adam. They celebrated their love with a ceremony on the sand surrounded by 30 of their nearest and dearest, includi

After 16 years of friendship, when the day finally arrived where I got to stand alongside my best friend as she married the love of her life, Wade (also a dear friend of mine) I was overjoyed to say the least. Standing clifftop at a picturesque winery with a Bellarine Peninsula coastline backdrop, I knew the day would deliver everything that it promised to be - full of love, family, friends, an effortlessly carefree attitude, stunning detail and good times on the dance floor.

If you're in the midst of planning your wedding, I'm sure you can totally relate - no one truly understands until they start planning one, but weddings are a minefield. So many ins and outs, decisions to be made, tricks of the trade, things people think you just should know even if you don’t and the pressure to get it all completely perfect for your one special day! (Exhausted just reading this?) I won’t kid you, weddings can be challenging, costly and all consuming, and as y

Experience (n) - an event or occurrence which leaves an impression on someone. These days the word “experience" has never been so important. Defined in so many different ways, in my eyes an experience is the collective feelings you get from someone or something following an interaction.
