REAL WEDDING / ANDREA + COLM
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
INTERVIEW / 5 MINS WITH BOW & ARBOUR
Sleek newcomers to the wedding scene hailing from the Sunshine Coast, are Bow & Arbour, and they are a photographer's dream! Hence why I have partnered with them to offer wedding zines in my portrait and wedding photography packages. What's a wedding zine you might ask? Short for magazine, contemporary for wedding album.

TIPS / WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY LINGO
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Weddings can be a total minefield. So many aspects to consider, so much research to be done, so many meetings to be had and so much lingo to wrap your head around. Wedding speak can be tricky, in particular when you’re speaking to wedding suppliers who talk the talk day in and day out. But not to worry, your guide to all the photography jargon, delivered below in mere minutes. FIRST LOOK The first look is the first time someone lays
WEDDING / LUCY + ADAM
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
BEHIND THE LENS / YOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT PRICING ANSWERED
Weddings are a bank account drainer, there’s no doubt about that and if you want your day to be as amazingly perfect as it looks in your head, than sometimes, racking up the bills is unavoidable.

The cost of goods and equipment, the time it takes not only on the day but be
WEDDING / SAM + TARA
Sam and Tara were refreshingly cool, calm and collected in the lead up to their wedding day. My first meeting with them I was instantly so excited to be a part of their celebration. Their relaxed vibes continued well into the wedding day. Hearing the Bride and her Bridesmaids share the candid story about how Sam and Tara first met was a beautiful start to the day - a supposed set up by friends that still to this day, the maid of honour denies. Milling around the ceremony wait
WEDDING / CATHY + NIK
The day began on an Autumn afternoon in country Victoria, at the charming rustic property of the Groom. I was the second shooter at this wedding, so certainly less pressure than normal. But as I looked around at the rolling hills, cascading willow tree and serene pond that was the backdrop for the country ceremony, I was so excited about the afternoon ahead. I arrived at the Bride’s room where there was a healthy buzz of nerves. With the Bride deciding to do her own hair and
