      “This is the biggest piece of shit I’ve ever driven!”

      Alta, UT - USA

      I hadn’t seen Rob in close to ten years. We planned this trip over Facebook messenger and somehow we’d arranged to spend the next 17 days together - skiing lines, sinking beers and driving across the USA listening to Bruce Springsteen and eating popcorn in a Ford F-150 rental...

      Gina & Anton – Engagement Shoot

      Currumbin Valley, QLD

      I’ve never really posted a lot of “engagement shoot” work. Without trying to sound too much of a wanker, I’m a guy who really focusses on the ‘documentary’ aspect of a wedding day, catching all the little moments, the details, the action, the so called “in-between”. I’m not the photographer who does posed family photos in the park, and therefore...

      Kerri & Yash – Indian/Western Double Down

      Sarabah Estate – Canungra, Gold Coast

      Kerri & Yash met at David Jones. Yash asked Kerri out and she said no. But… he was persistent. Fast-forward nine years later, they got married in the funnest, most-awesomest way possible. Two ceremonies, lots of RnB music, some incredible golden-grass hang-time at twilight and what felt like the biggest party of all-time!

Julia first noticed Sam while he was giving a presentation in class at the end of the first semester. She was puzzled by him at first and couldn’t help but wonder why he was wearing a singlet, boardies, and thongs in winter. But still, she thought he was cute 🔥

He must've noticed her too because later that day he sent her a friend request on Facebook.
Sam and Julia soon moved to "study-buddies" stage - I know I know... we know what that means right?! That was way back in 2011 - not the time either of them expected to come across the love of their life, but after a kiss on the front lawn one day their story began 🖤
.
These guys have already made their way through my feed with their dreamy sunrise engagement shoot swim. They made their love official and got hitched on amazing day last year at the mucho bueno @gabbinbarhomestead and everything about this day was just bloody wonderful 🤌🏼💛

Hannah and James have that type of relationship that makes me kinda' jealous. They've been together for forever including 3.5 years of long distance (living with each other's friends & famailies in the meantime and keeping gaps between seeing each other to 3 weeks max) and have this epic connection - like, do you guys even fight? Are you human? 🖤
.
What a dream of day these two had! We fit in a few photos pre-ceremony and kept things super fun incl plenty of time with their guests. Huge thanks to @lightspacebrisbane for literally everything including being the coolest venue ever and also to @cutarugdj for bringing the best wedding D-floor tunes and keeping the floor full all night! ⚡️🤘🏼

.
I met Kirsty at a wedding back in 2018. She was a makeup artist at a wedding I shot at light space (still can find that on my website somewhere actually). As she was also someone in the wedding industry, I couldn't have been happier to be the guy who she asked to tag along for her own day. 
.
A little while later she got in touch and locked in her wedding date... In the meantime (2019 were talking here) we swung past One Tree Hill in Maleny one arvo where I grabbed some photos of her and her partner (now husband) Brad while she had a small baby bump going on. This was also the spot where Brad proposed and was super special to both of them.
.
Then along came ol' COVID19 and we were all aboard the postponement train. Thankfully they made it happen late last year and managed to arrange it at that same special spot. It's funny how as time passes and as you catch up more and more, some couples really do just feel like friends... Hard to believe this all happened 3 years after first meeting. Congrats to you two - it's been such a ride but hopefully sure I'll see you around the make-up brushes or on One-Tree Hill again one day soon 😊🥂

Third time lucky for these legends. After planning a big wedding for May 2020 (turns out what wasn't exactly much of a month for weddings) they tried so hard to reschedule and finally got the day they were always after. After two long years of postponements and cancellations I'm stoked to see 2022 to be off to a flyer and so many couples getting to celebrate and party with their nearests and dearests (and me) 🥂

I played touch footy with Hanna back in 2017. We even lost a grand final together 🏆
.
It was 12 months ago this week that her bf Nick called me and told me the good news that he was planning on proposing on a Sunday arvo on top of Cabarita headland. At the time I hadn't shot a proposal in a while but I dusted off the widest Akubra I could find and got into full Metal Gear Solid Stealth & Incognito Mode (10 points if you know what Metal Gear Solid is) and hid myself in plain sight to capture it as best I could…
.
Just before Nick's estimated 4pm showtime start-time it absolutely pissed it down. Like, full blown thunderstorm, get your umbrella, get a towel, get a lifejacket style. Wettest akubra ever you've ever seen. Turns out after the rains passed they were the first two back up the hill and had the whole thing to themselves. Cue beautiful scenes and lots of screams and yesses.
.
The wedding is a little more than 6 months from now at @osteriaweddings - about 5 mins down the road from here 🙌🏼🖤

It’s hard to believe that back during 2020 (and the OG lockdown) these guys postponed their wedding and then actually rescheduled back to their original date. Back in August of 2020 that was some woke wisdom that was pretty unheard of at the time. In the post-pandemic world, the idea of two people stripping things right back and getting it done as they could, rather than waiting for normal to swing back on round, was pretty new. The ironic thing is, if they’d postponed, they probably would still not yet be married.
.
Caroline emailed me the other day to order an album and it was a bloody treat to go through their gallery one more time. After the two of them eloped at the beautiful @figtreerestaurant they both said it was better than they could have imagined and 100% the day of their lives 🖤
.
If you’re planning a wedding in the next few months, fear not. It might not be the day you had first imagined or even the day you’ve planned. That doesn’t mean it’s not going to be something super special and crazy good all at the same time! 🤘🏼⚡️
.
Also - if you’re thinking of ordering an album, there’s probably never been a better time to have me throw together a design for you. What looked like the busiest spring season of my life has become much more quiet just recently… If you’d like to discuss having an album made feel free to slide right on into those DM’s right there and let’s talk printing :)
