One thing that keeps happening is, I work with the same wedding vendors over and over and there is a reason for it. Because the guys I get to work with all the time are seriously the best in the business. It’s so cool to work with like-minded and talented creatives that are able to help their clients bring their dream day to life. And all I have to do is walk around and take images of the amazingness! Easy right?!

Ada & Shaun had their wedding at Rupert on Rupert Collingwood, which just so happens to be the same venue I had my own wedding in. If you live in Melbourne and haven’t had the chance to check out this space, it’s not only just a wedding venue, it’s also a trendy bar and restaurant during the week and the perfect little green escape from the city. And they serve a great selection of vegan food so it’s a double-win for me!

These guys seriously thought about every detail for their wedding and so much planning went into creating this celebration as magic as it was. I love their attention to detail and how much they just wanted to throw an epic party for the closest friends and family.

Heartbreak Hotel was back bringing the vibes. If you haven’t thought about having a photo booth at your wedding, here is a blog post to read to change your mind!

The church of bang bang boogaloo in Melbourne is just incredible!  Hidden away on the Laneway of Heape Ct and behind my favourite cafe ‘1000 Pound Bend’. I love finding little gems like this in the city, and Melbourne seems to have more little secret venues then anywhere else I have shot. The reception was at 1000 Pound Bend, the chapel opens straight into the back of the cafe!

I love Dan & Emma’s style through out their wedding. It kind of  reminded me of a Las Vegas shotgun style wedding with the neon lights and small chapel. I know they had a huge part in styling and organising their own wedding and all the friends and family helped out one way or another. The whole day was just perfect in every way.

I am very grateful to be part of Emma & Dan’s special day!

In Melbourne, planning a wedding can sometimes be difficult. Especially if it is a country Victoria wedding. As everyone knows, the weather in Victoria is super unpredictable and we can have 4 seasons in one day. Well, Jenna & Dylan’s wedding had exactly that. Except to the extreme! One minute we had heavy winds and rain with rivers forming on the roads and paddocks, then the sun would show itself for a few minutes.
The Ceremony was originally going to be in the beautiful forest were we took portraits, but with the wind being so strong and big branches falling from the trees, that idea quickly became to dangerous.

My personal favourite moment from their wedding was the first look. I love doing first look photos and some portraits before the ceremony. I think because they were both so nervous, excited and ready for the day to begin.

Ashleigh and Darren’s moody Stones of the Yarra Valley wedding is giving us all the heart eyes. We can’t get enough of Ashleigh’s dreamy Suzanne Harward bridal gown, the jewel tone florals by I Heart Flowers, and the actual jewels Ashleigh is wearing by Stephanie Browne – hello statement earrings. These romantic details were the perfect addition to their stylish wedding.
The Stones of the Yarra Valley is one of my favorite venues to shoot. The Chapel is picture perfect and is an incredible spot for any ceremony. There are also so many options for portraits, as you will see in the photos below.

Erik & Jess had an epic wedding located in the Kangaroo Valley at a beautiful venue called Brogers End. This place was actually magical. Beautiful mist covering the mountains in the morning, sun showers, heavy rain, sunshine and everything in between.

What I loved about this wedding the most, is that they really did keep the whole wedding true to themselves. Sometimes it can be easy to loose sight of why a wedding day is what it is. Especially with Pinterest and wedding blogs filling up our expectations. But it all comes down to the love we share and the family and friends we have around us. Nothing else.

Thank you Jess & Erik for letting me be part of your beautiful destination wedding.

Lauren & Jason had a very modern, romantic wedding in Melbourne. The ceremony was at the Botanical Gardens in the city and they chose Quat Quatta in Ripponlea for the reception. Quat Quatta is one of my favourite venues, it is the perfect distance out of the city and the place is full of charm. The gardens are very nice and perfect for photos as well. After the ceremony, we snuck in to Quat Quatta to get a few extra photos in some of the indoor areas and the gardens.

Lauren & Jason are both such awesome and positive people to be around and by listening to all the speeches, I am not the only one that feels like this. I wish all the best for these two lovely people with their new journey together.
