If you are willing to meet me at 5.30am, and walk through the bush for 30 minutes then you will be spoilt with this gorgeous and unique location. We did not see a soul whilst we played in the long grass :) Thanks to Erin for wanting the exact type of portrait session I want for my husband and I one day – vintage country! And to my dad who found this location whilst jogging one day. And also a big thanks to ebay seller Sydney Vintage Bikes who lent the gorgeous bike to Erin and Jake for the shoot! We had a lot of fun creating this old world effect and Erin and Jake were very natural in front of the camera! Can’t wait for the wedding in September – we are going to have a blast!!

The Camelot Estate near Camden has a lot to offer but we wanted to try and avoid the spectacular scenes and save them for Kim and Jarrad’s Wedding in April :) We had a lot of fun playing make-believe with Charlotte and she did well for a kid who was supposed to be in bed by the time we had finished! Thanks Kim and Jarrad for asking me to to be your photographer, I look forward to your wedding in April.

Bec and Richie decided that they would give their photographer friends a break to enjoy the wedding and employed me instead after having so much fun at Vanessa and Marcus’ wedding in August and I am so glad they did – what an incredible wedding!! My largest bridal party so far – 19!! I just loved the bridesmaid dresses and Bec’s dress was absolutely stunning!

The ceremony was held at their church – Seventh Day Adventists at Wahroonga, the location photos were done on a private property in Galston and the reception was at Asquith Golf Club.

WOW. The White Sands of Jervis Bay on a sunny clear day – WOW! Well done Donna and Lee on choosing a great location and a great day ;) And thank you for trusting in me to choose the location of your portraits near Vincentia! Enjoy the gorgeous pics of this fabulous bridal party who couldn’t stop me from laughing all day! And a special shout out to our driver and my assistant and his excellent reflector work, Benny!

The getting ready and reception location was at the gorgeous By the Beach B&B at Sanctuary Point. The ceremony was on Palm Beach just below the B&B. Wedding dress was bought from ebay. The cake was by a friend. The incredible band, The Escalators, had everyone entertained – and I heard later in the night they brought out fancy dress accessories for everyone.
