SARAH & SAM’S WEDDING

Friday, July 2, 2010

Sarah and Sam were married in May at the Sacred Heart Cathedral in Bendigo, with a reception that evening in the Platinum Room at The Foundry Hotel Complex. It was an absolutely gorgeous wedding, and I was in heaven photographing this amazing couple on their special day. I’ll begin my post with photographs of Sarah and her bridesmaids getting ready at the Hotel Shamrock. They had a beautiful big room with lots of lovely natural light, neutral decor and antique furniture. Just perfect for photographs!

Sarah’s 2 sisters and 2 best friends, helping her get into her magnificent ivory, silk wedding gown.


Sarah looked absolutely stunning in her wedding gown. Her quiet grace and elegance quite simply took my breath away, and looking through the lens at her seemed a little like stepping back in time. Oh my… what a divine bride!



A vintage treatment adds to the old world feel of this photograph of the girls. They all look so beautiful!
Some vintage inspired glamour utilising the tungsten lights in the room and video light.

Thank you so much for being part of our special day. We can’t wait to see the rest of the photos, the ones we have seen are just brilliant. Thanks again.

JILL & MICK’S WEDDING

Friday, June 11, 2010

Jill and Mick were married on Saturday 17th of April in a lovely garden ceremony at the Ravenswood Homestead, with a reception that evening at The Capital Theatre in Bendigo. They were blessed with beautiful sunny weather for their celebration, and had a brilliant, fun filled day. I had never been to the Ravenswood Homestead before. It certainly is an amazing venue, and I could honestly spend hours roaming around the property and gorgeous buildings taking photographs… and STILL want more time. Of course wedding days aren’t quite like that though, and we had always planned to get back to Bendigo with enough time for some photographs around the beautiful old buildings. Jill & Mick were very keen to have some photographs taken when the buildings are lit up in the early evening. I brought extra flashes and stands with me, and had a great time setting up some dramatic images.

I will begin this post with two of my favourite images from the end of the day, taken in front of the old Post Office and War Memorial in Pall Mall, Bendigo. I have never shot with more than one off camera flash on a wedding day before, but I love the results and think it was definitely worth the extra effort.


Jill and her bridesmaids got ready at Jill & Mick’s home. As usual I began by taking photographs of all of the lovely details.
Jill had her Mother’s bridal horseshoe sewn to the inside of the skirt of her wedding gown. A beautiful and personal touch!

The gorgeous bride looking absolutely radiant. I love the way this aqua wall sets off Jill’s beautiful skin tones and dark hair. Just lovely, and a little bit vintage looking with some subtle texture added to the photograph.

I had to include a photograph of Jill with her ‘babies’. These are two very pampered and utterly adored little dogs.

AIMEE & DAVID’S WEDDING

Thursday, April 8, 2010

Aimee & David were married in Bendigo at the Sacred Heart Cathedral on Saturday the 20th of March. They had a fantastic day with truly perfect weather, and I had such a great time photographing them on their special day. Just for some variety I have decided to begin this post with some of the gorgeous images I took around the grounds of the Cathedral after their ceremony. Please remember to click the link for ‘More Images’ if you want to see photographs of David and Aimee getting ready, the ceremony and more of the locations.

I just loved the wedding cars, and this was the perfect location to get a photograph of the 3 of them lined up. I haven’t seen these vintage Rover’s at any other weddings. I’m fairly sure Aimee told me they all belong to a family friend. Such beautiful old cars!


A very dramatic image of Aimee & David with their gorgeous wedding cars. I must say I think we are incredibly lucky to have such a magnificent Cathedral in Bendigo.

The architecture of the Cathedral is so inspiring. Such a great looking wedding party too!



Seriously, these two are such sweet couple. Several times throughout the day I saw them just gazing at each other, completely lost in their own little world. True love for sure.

A great shot of the gorgeous wedding party.  Such a happy, easy going group… it makes my job so much fun!

Aimee Ryan - Thanks so much Annie. They are absolutely amazing! We can’t wait to see the rest of them and have had so many family and friends say they didn’t realise how beautiful we both are!!! That I must say is all your work. We both thoroughly enjoyed our wedding day and the few hours after the ceremony where we dabbled as part time models was so much fun. Thanks again! Love Aimee and David Ryan

Krystal Radlinski - A visual feast!

Joseph - Great pics – the one at the pond did work well – I can see why you got excited!

Lots of love Aimee & well done Chippa!

EMMA & TIM’S WEDDING

Monday, February 15, 2010

Emma and Tim were married on Saturday 6th of February with an early evening ceremony inside the magnificent Bendigo Art Gallery, followed by a reception at the Hotel Shamrock. They had a beautiful sunny day, and had elected to have the majority of their photographs taken through the afternoon, before their wedding ceremony. Emma and Tim have two gorgeous young children and naturally wanted to include them in their special day.

I will begin with some images of Emma and her Maid of Honour. The girls got ready in a beautiful room at the Fountain View Suites in View St Bendigo. Emma’s gorgeous wedding gown took quite some time to lace up, but it was well worth the wait. I spent that time happily photographing all of her lovely details.




This is Emma and Tim’s son, George. He is the most beautiful baby boy and the youngest pageboy I’ve ever photographed. He looked absolutely adorable in his tiny waistcoat and bow tie, and totally stole my heart. What a little cutie pie!


This is Abby, George’s big sister. She is quiet and shy, and incredibly sweet. I have to say she did an absolutely amazing job of being Mummy and Daddy’s flowergirl, and even managed to walk down the aisle during the ceremony, holding a basket of lollipops. That’s quite a feat for a child twice her age I think. She certainly made a lot of ‘big’ people very proud. Bravo Abby!

Oh my… so beautiful. Examining Mummy’s bouquet.

Emma looked so beautiful in her wedding gown. The lobby and staircase outside her room made an ideal location for some gorgeous bridal portraits.




The natural light in the stairwell was beautiful. The two images below are particular favourites of mine. Emma looks utterly stunning.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful work. Gregg

JACINTA & BRENDAN’S WEDDING

Saturday, January 2, 2010

Jacinta and Brendan were married in Bendigo on November the 28th, with an afternoon ceremony at Nanga Gnulle and a marquee reception at Jacinta’s Father’s home that evening. They had only told a very small number of family members and very close friends that they were getting married, and only those people were in attendance at the ceremony. Now here’s the fun part. All of their other friends had no idea, and thought they were attending their engagement party when they arrived at the reception that evening! It was such a brilliant surprise when Jacinta & Brendan were announced into the marquee… as husband and wife. Awesome! I just LOVE surprises. I think there are too few surprises in this life.

Jacinta & Brendan had a fantastic day, though we did have to deal with several really heavy downpours of rain. What is it with November and rain? We dodged and weaved the weather, and I captured some beautiful images for the newlyweds. I think dealing with wet weather on your wedding day is all about having the right attitude, and I must say that this couple definitely didn’t allow the rain to spoil their gorgeous day.

I’ll begin with some of the beautiful details… flowers, shoes, rings and things.





Jacinta looked stunning in her antique gold wedding gown. I just adore the bracelet she wore. Everything looked gold, shimmery and opulent… the dress, the jewellry, even her hair!

Jacinta with her Maid of Honour. Looking stunning ladies!
