SARAH & SAM’S WEDDING

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.

EMMA & TIM’S WEDDING

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.
