Eagle Ridge Wedding | Jess + Craig
I always love hearing about how my couples got together. How a chance meeting can seal the fate of two people who will go on to spend the rest of their lives together is truly a little work of magic.

Melbourne Family Photography | Why family photography matters now more than ever before
If you know me at all, you’ll know that I’m passionate about family. And capturing moments of family togetherness feeds right into this need that I have to be doing something that honours what I feel is one of the most important and fundamental of society’s building blocks.

Tanglewood Estate | Mornington Peninsula Wedding Venue
One of the things that I love about living and working on the Peninsula, is that I get to meet some incredibly talented creatives that all share a love of where we live.

Joining forces to do that with…

These days, when it comes to planning your wedding day, you really can do it however you want. There are traditions, but there’s no rules. And I love working with my couples to make sure that their day unfolds just the way they wanted it to. I don’t come with an agenda of having to get the perfect shot.

Lakehouse Daylesford Wedding | Lovisa + William
Sometimes I’m having such a good time shooting that I can almost forget that it’s work. Such was the case at Lovisa and Will’s incredible wedding day at The Lakehouse Daylesford.

But it was more this beautiful couple with great chemistry, happy family and friends around them, the stunning location, and a talented…

Joy shows in the eyes. it appears when we speak and walk. It cannot be kept closed inside us. it reacts outside. Joy is very infectious.” From the minute I arrived, until the very last moment, Kate…
