Jenny + Phil: Kangaroo Valley, Southern Highlands

Jenny and Phil are one of the most genuine and lovely couples we’ve had the pleasure of photographing. Being supremely laid back and relaxed, their choice of venue, the Kangaroo Valley Bush Retreat, suited them to a tee. Friends and family came from far and wide, including a massive group from New Zealand, to celebrate their big day. Being from New Zealand, Phil asked his cousins to perform a traditional Maori welcome at the start of the ceremony, which added a really unique and personal touch.

Everyone had a blast at the reception, laughing at some very funny speeches and dancing late into the night. We had an amazing time too; thanks so much for inviting us along Jenny and Phil! 

Alex + Chris: Sydney Harbour engagement

I recently photographed an engagement session in Sydney for an international couple, Alexandra from California and Chris from England. They have a pretty exciting lifestyle, travelling around on cruise ships and selling art! After seeing many ports around the world, they wanted to have their engagement session around the iconic Sydney Harbour. Although they are back on the ship again, I hope that these images will bring back lots of happy memories of Sydney for many years to come. Good luck with the wedding plans Alex and Chris!

Hollie + Aaron: Northern Beaches, Sydney

On a sunny day it’s easy to see why many couples fall in love with the Northern Beaches. Hollie & Aaron definitely have – they (and many of their guests!) travelled all the way from Victoria to enjoy their beautiful beach front wedding. The sun didn’t disappoint either – we had a perfect day for their ceremony on Shelly Beach followed by their reception at Manly Skiff Club.

Hollie and Aaron were relaxed and easygoing throughout the whole day and such a pleasure to work with.

Thanks for letting me tag along :) 

Julia + Andrew: Peppers Manor House, Southern Highlands

Happy New Year everyone and welcome to our first blog of 2012. We can’t think of a better way to start the New Year than with Julia and Andrew’s gorgeous wedding. One of the many  wonderful things about being a photographer is meeting amazing new people and travelling to new places; with this wedding we got to do both.

The nuptials were held on the lawns of the Peppers Manor House in Sutton Forest, amongst gorgeous gardens and surrounded by beautiful, hilly countryside. Julia has an amazing eye for detail (a real treat for photographers as well!); butterfly place settings and notes, trivia cards involving funny questions about friends and the bridal party, pompoms hanging from the trees - it all made for the most pretty and personalised wedding.

Julia is such a gracious and thoughtful person; when a bride is asking ‘is your room okay’, and ‘please let me know if you need anything at all,’ only an hour before her wedding, you know she is a kind soul!  Andrew is the same, so generous and he made sure everyone was having a great time. It was so wonderful to spend the weekend with this fabulous group of people, who made us feel like friends and guests at their wedding.  

All the best you two! We hope our paths cross again!

Stay tuned for more from this couple - their day-after get together will be on the blog soon!
