bugGiRL :: Band Promo

Posted date: February 4, 2012 | No comment

The people who have known me for a while know that I started out as a music photographer. The first wedding I ever shot was for the bassist in a band that I had photographed who just so happened to like my very primitive style at the time. Moving to Brisbane from Wollongong nearly 3 [...]

The Man, The Move, The Melbourne

Posted date: January 31, 2012 | No comment

I have a confession. I have no idea what the next stage of my life will be like and I’m a little scared. I was never really thoughtful enough about what kind of life I wanted, I just went with the flow and things often fell at my feet. Whether or not this is a [...]

Maddy and Aaron :: Wedding :: Bowral

Posted date: January 23, 2012 | No comment

In the 2 days since we returned from our trip to Sri Lanka and Malaysia, my brain has been running at a million kilometres per hour. We’ve got less than 6 weeks before we move to Melbourne (more on that soon), and I’ve still got so much stuff to get finalised in Brisbane. I wanted [...]

The Sri Lankan Marriage Party

Posted date: January 10, 2012 | No comment

The final wedding celebration is done and over with and I think we looked pretty alright! It’s slow and patient work uploading this at 10kB/sec from the middle of the forest near Sigiriya in Sri Lanka while we travel around with our friends, but I figured Kristen was too lovely to not show off to [...]

For two people that said they never wanted a wedding, it seems strange that we have 3 separate events spanned across 2 continents. Two down but one big one to go. This was Kristen the other day, I’m a very fortunate man.

When you meet the person you are goviagrag to spend your life with, you know immediately. Minutes after our first date ended, Kristen had chest pains, she was already missing me. I was too busy trying to figure out the logistics of how to make our next date happen sooner. Two days later, I knew [...]

Verity and Michael :: Wedding :: Sutton Forest

Posted date: December 24, 2011 | No comment

“Are you going to wear that on your head all day or is it just to keep your hair together while you’re getting ready?” I asked. “No, it’s just for the morning” Verity replies. “Why?” “I really like it, it looks very elegant.” I did actually mean it, I thought it looked lovely. Verity looks [...]

Carly and Jeff :: Wedding :: Maleny, QLD

Posted date: December 8, 2011 | No comment

During the speeches, Jeff said something like “I want to thank Lucky for helping our artistic visions for today come true.” All those guests’ eyes gazing onto my weary body slouched in the corner made me blush as much as a dark skinned man can blush. But a bit inside me jumped up and did [...]

Eugene and Belle :: Wedding :: Phuket, Thailand

Posted date: December 2, 2011 | No comment

It’s not every day you end up flying across the oceans to have an opportunity to photograph someone’s wedding. It’s one of those awesome perks one has as a wedding photographer in that not only do you get to share in the wonderful experience of a wedding day, but you are given the opportunity to [...]

Aaron and Maddie :: Wedding :: Preview

So many weddings, so little time. You get photographs in small batches for the moment, but definitely more to come.

I have such a friend crush on Verity and her husband Michael.

I nearly frothed at the mouth when I saw this field. An amazing day and many more photos to come.

Simon and Linda :: Wollongong :: Wedding

Posted date: November 7, 2011 | No comment

Simon and Linda have a huge cat called Helix. I was pleased when I heard he had a scientific name, it was something that my cat Quark could have a chat to Helix about over a bowl of milk at a bar sometime. Simon and Linda are both scientists, and damn smart ones at that. [...]

Paul and Amanda :: Brisbane :: Wedding

Posted date: October 13, 2011 | No comment

It’s not every day you shoot a wedding in the morning followed by a lunchtime reception. Paul and Amanda decided to buck the trend and utilise the glorious Brisbane morning sunlight (and I imagine save a whole bunch of money on the bar tab, not that i saw that anyone restricting themselves from the unwritten [...]

Album :: Luke and Elesha

Posted date: September 27, 2011 | No comment

I thought it was about time I shared some images of the albums that I make for my clients. The images are printed on this beautiful super heavy matte stock and my partner who is quite fond of textures has told me she could spend hours rubbing this lovely paper on her cheeks, just to [...]

Stand Up, Speak Out!

Posted date: September 18, 2011 | No comment

For a change of pace from weddings and engagements, I recently photographed a youth forum held at Sea World for an awesome Brisbane organisation called QPASTT which stands for the Queensland Program of Assistance to Survivors of Torture and Trauma. The forum was aimed at getting a whole bunch of young people from different backgrounds [...]

Invitations

Posted date: September 7, 2011 | No comment

All appears to be quiet on the Western Front! It’s been a peaceful winter in terms of weddings and photography for me so my partner and I have thankfully had some time to prepare our own wedding invitations! It was truly a collaborative DIY effort between the two of us and when we weren’t wanting [...]

Elise and Paul

Posted date: August 8, 2011 | No comment

Elise and Paul didn’t have a wedding photographer when they had their wedding in 2007. They were young and couldn’t really afford it so they went without. And that just ain’t right considering how much they now regret not having a photographer. Paul’s granddad passed away a few years ago and like many of the [...]

Katrina and Devon :: Brisbane :: Engagement

Posted date: July 23, 2011 | No comment

Sometimes the distance that separates us is actually the force that pulls us back together. Devon and Katrina have met each other independently on two separate continents before they finally realised they were meant to be together; Devon, from Oregon, USA met Katrina when he was in Australia studying. He would chat with Katrina in [...]
