All those who know me, know my love for the colour red. And it was the red shoes that Felicity was wearing as a guest to Michelle and Andre’s wedding almost 2 years ago that caught my attention. I had to photograph them almost immediately! They were so cute! So when I turned up at Balmoral Beach last Sunday for a portrait session with the newly engaged Michelle and Lincoln and their two girls, they knew there would be a big smile on my face with all the red clothing that was present!

Lincoln and I have been chatting on Facebook since that wedding and it was so exciting to see how their relationship progressed to the next level – especially hearing about the designing of the ring! I love getting to know their clients and really understand the story that leads to their wedding day.

We spent a beautiful winter’s afternoon at Balmoral beach. I honestly felt a part of the family as I was welcomed with big hugs from Gelly and Fi. I believe that being a part of the session is just as important as capturing what is happening. Everyone has to feel comfortable.

I am looking forward to your two-day wedding in October and learning more about the Vietnamese culture!

Isn’t my beautiful friend Tegan gorgeous!!! She has always had so much style and I just loved what she did to make these photos her own. And we must not forget to mention her handsome fiance Mark – one of the nicest guys you will ever come across! Flowers are from Pearsons florist and Tegan decorated them herself. Looking forward to the wedding in March!!

It is an incredible privilege to be a wedding photographer. I am an emotional person and I love weddings. Indeed, you will probably see a tear or two coming from my eyes during the ceremony. I love seeing the groom pour out his feelings publicy and be so paralysed by the beauty of his bride. On Friday at the Balmoral Beach Rotunda I saw this happen. It was a lovely intimate ceremony with 20 people. A friendly neighbour even offered a beautiful red carpet for the ceremony!

For the location photos Adele and Tristan were up for doing something different so they sat with a couple of strangers and their fish and chips at the end of the jetty, Tristan borrowed an old fashioned fishing rod from a fisherwoman on the wharf and set up a photo shoot for us and he also got very cheeky trying to take Adele’s garter off!

Below are a few of my faves but my absolutely favourite is first up…this couple has to be one of the hottest kissers in the world

WOW! I seem to attract all the hot couples for the weddings. Adele and Tristan were so much fun not worrying about getting their butts wet or hanging off rocks. We discovered a hidden part of Balmoral Beach with small cliffs with vines…our secret little oasis (although we could have done without the mosquitoes!). They are actually getting married at Balmoral Beach as well so we tried to do the ‘get down and dirty’ shots that we wouldn’t be able to do in a lovely white dress Congrats to you both! I look forward to having more fun at the end of February. There are 24 photos showcased so it may take a while for the page to load…
