Fernbank Farm Wedding
The Fernbank Farm wedding of Emily & Rhys was an epic wedding on one of the hottest days this summer.
Located on the Central Coast of NSW, Fernbank Farm is an absolutely stunning place to have your wedding. Everything on this day happened onsite, so there was no travelling what-so-ever. The boys got ready in ‘The Cottage’ while the girls got ready in the ‘Main House’. The ceremony happened under the beautiful Steel Arbour and the reception was in a beautiful and elegant marquee.
It was a hot & humid night and it took a while for people to get on the dance floor… but when they did they went crazy! I have seen a lot of crazy dance floors, but this was a first for me. When AC/DC’s ‘Thunderstruck’ was played every guy in the place took their shirts off and fist pumped like crazy. The photos are pretty cool and the experience was awesome!
So check out this amazing Fernbank Farm wedding and I can’t wait to go back there to photograph more awesome weddings. :)
Evelyn & Michael’s Norah Head Lighthouse wedding ?
Norah Head Lighthouse on the Central Coast is a venue I have wanted to shoot a wedding at for a long time. I go to Norah Head at least once a week with the family and our puppy Beau so I couldn’t wait to photograph this wedding. And this wedding didn’t disappoint! It was a beautiful intimate wedding with just a small gathering of family & friends and an amazing couple, with a beautiful, unique style and spirit. Norah Head also turned on an amazing sunset for us!
So enjoy Evelyn & Michael’s beautiful Norah Head Lighthouse wedding.
The Southern Highlands has some of the mosts gorgeous wedding venues in Australia and Alicja & Mathew’s Terrara House Estate wedding would have to be one of them.
They both got ready onsite at Terrara House Estate, Alicja in the Salon and Mathew in the Stables. So preparation was really easy as I could simply walk back and forth between them.
We had some nice weather for their wedding, but it was just after record rainfall, with the last twenty six of the last thirty days raining. Therefore they had the wedding ceremony on the Terrace instead of in the gardens, but it was still gorgeous. The property around Terrara House is huge, so there were so many locations for beautiful photos.
We are really excited to share this amazing wedding with this lovely down to earth couple. This Terrara House Estate wedding has now added to the list of my favourite venues in the Southern Highlands. Enjoy!
I was so excited about Abby & Nick’s Point Wolstoncroft wedding, as we live really close to it, I had never heard of the venue before, the grounds are huge and the couple were awesome!
Abby & Nick planned a real weekend away for their guests at Point Wolstoncroft Sports and Recreation Centre. All the guests stayed onsite for the whole weekend and being a Sports and Recreation Centre they participated in lots of outdoor activities. A lot of the guests at the wedding actually remember coming to Point Wolstoncroft when they were in school.
Check out the end of the wedding where the guys drop their pants, and leave a comment below if you can name the song that was played at their time.
So we hope you enjoy this beautiful Point Wolstoncroft wedding as t was a truely amazing day to be a part of and I can’t wait to photograph more weddings there. :)
I am really excited to share this amazing Somersby Garden Estate wedding of Erin & Grant that I recently shot.
The boys got ready on the Central Coast at a beautiful Airbnb property located right on the water, while the girls got ready on site at Somersby Gardens, where the rest of the day happened.
There had been some rain in the lead-up, but on their wedding day, it was a gorgeous sunny day. These guys were so relaxed & easy-going and the whole day was filled with just the right amount of tears and heaps of laughter and fun! We even ducked out of the reception for some sunset photos, where we got some of the most beautiful golden light
So I hope you enjoy this awesome Somersby Gardens Estate wedding and I can’t wait to get back there to photograph more weddings.
I am totally jealous of any Wagga Wagga wedding photographer because they have locations like this right on their doorstep. When I scouted this wedding on Google earth, I saw a really dry, dusty land. But when I arrived the day before the wedding to scout it out in person, I couldn’t believe how beautiful and green everything was. Canola fields and lush green rolling hills covered with sheep and endless photographic locations.
The wedding of Sophie & Shane is pretty much my ideal wedding. Amazing relaxed, fun couple and all in held in a stunning location… perfect! They got married on their family sheep farm, in Wantabadgery which is near Wagga Wagga. The wedding ceremony was held in their amazing driveway with hay bales for seats and the reception was out the back in a huge hay shed. It is such a big property, with so many possible photo locations that i could have shot there for days and still not scratched the surface.
Here are just a few of my favourites from the day and if anyone needs a Wagga Wagga wedding photographer, just let me know as I’d love to shoot in the area again. So enjoy the story of Sophie & Shane’s beautiful farm wedding.
2019 was another awesome year for us with wedding photography taking us all over Australia and around the state of NSW.
Wedding photography has allowed me to go to some dream locations around Australia and shoot some wonderful couples. Some highlights and things that just happened this year at weddings are…
I only had two rainy day weddings in 2019 which is totally unheard of. Normally I would have had a lot more.
Most of my couples this year wrote and said their own personal vows and had unplugged weddings… which is amazing! It makes it really special and more personal. I highly recommend that all couples do this.
I had an amazing wedding in Alice Springs where the couples gifted me my first Acoubra Hat!
At weddings, I saw Kangaroos, wombats, alpacas, horses, cows, dogs and even one red belly black snake.
I was lucky enough to do an elopement at Uluru, which has been in my bucket list for years.
I shot my first wedding where half the bridal party were acrobats and I shot many weddings with no bridal party at all.
Had a wedding on Halloween night with a Tim Burtonesque feel.
Brides had many different styles of dresses. I had brides with black, red, pink, gold and silver dresses, and there might have been one or two in white ;) There was one bride with a $20 wedding dress that looked awesome and one with a dress that probably cost more than my car, that also looked amazing.
There also were lots of Brides and couples in general wearing boots. Which makes sense since to do a lot of country weddings.
Sadly towards the end of the year, most of my weddings were affected by the bushfires to some extent. Either by the smoke or actually trying to get to the wedding. The worst was a Port Macquarie wedding in November where roads were closed everywhere because of fire. But I managed to take a big detour around the fire and make it to the wedding. You will see some really crazy skies in some of the photos below.
Thank you to all the amazing wedding venues, wedding vendors and other wedding photographers who refer us. And of course a huge thank you to all our amazing couples who have trusted us to capture your most special day.
Wedding photography for 2020
My wedding photography has been changing and evolving over the 12+ years of shooting. In past years I have focused on different areas to work on, improve or just take more of. Do more night photography, do more drone shots, use more flash, use less flash etc. But my unofficial goal over the last couple of years, and going forward, is to take more meaningful images. And I think my work is attracting more like-minded couples who want this. Without couples who fully trust you, that open themselves up and actually be themselves then I can’t take the sort of images I would like to take artistically. This is how I would like to shoot more in 2020…
Zero posing. I actually really don’t pose couples at all. I don’t like it in wedding photography because it is too contrived and gives the photos less meaning. I talk to couples, joke with couples, tell them to run through some grass or have a quiet moment together on the hill as the sun sets. And I do give a little direction if you get stuck and just stare at the camera, like a deer in headlights. I understand why some photographers pose couples more, and it’s because they can create the perfect image… which is awesome… but for me, no posing means for meaningful photos for the couple.
Get more couples to be themselves and show their real personalities. Forget everything you think wedding photography will be like. With me, there are no rules. Do whatever you like, be whoever you really are… as long as you stay true to yourselves. Because this is when you get real natural photos without any forced smiles. These sort of photos will mean more to you in years to come.
More fun and craziness. Weddings and wedding photography doesn’t have to be serious and boring. I want my couples to go crazy and have the most awesome time ever at their wedding! As long as it is legal and no one is going to get hurt… you can do whatever you want!
So with all that being said, here are a few of our favourite images from 2019.
