The rumour going around is that every op shop in a 25km radius of Melbourne is currently out of vintage plates. I blame Richard and Eleanor. I try to steer clear of the typical wedding photographer blogging style of explaining the photos and details, etc. It gets pretty boring pretty quickly for you readers out [...]

There are times in your life that you can scarcely believe your circumstances. Sometimes it’s as a result of hard work, sometimes it comes from natural talent, but for me, it was simply a case of being in the right place at the right time. The first wedding I ever photographed was a little over [...]

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 [...]

“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 in Meleny, QLD

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 [...]

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 [...]

Simon and Linda in Wollongong

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. [...]

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 [...]

Luke and Elesha

Tags: matte paper, printed, textured, wedding album




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 [...]

Ru and Chin at Penrose

[Audio clip: view full post to listen] I never thought I’d see the day but my younger sister Ru got married on the weekend (yes, it’s my mean older brother voice saying that). As much as I tease her and have taunted her in my childhood, it was a wonderful day for Ru and our [...]

Shayne and Nat in Midginbil

Tags: DIY, farm, midginbil, party, rain, wedding




I love DIY. The desire to have everything done with your own hands and be able enjoy it afterwards is a truly rewarding experience. But there’s a major problem; I’m totally useless when it comes to building/making things. Whenever people visit my mum and dad’s place in Wollongong, dad always finds great humour in showing [...]

Eugene and Belle in Brisbane

Around 4 weeks ago, Eugene asked me if I could take some photos at his wedding to new fiance Belle. I asked him when it was and he replied, “In the middle of December”. I assumed he meant December 2011; he in fact meant December 2010. December that’s 2 weeks away December. After my initial [...]

There are not many people in the world who are as organised as Donna. For example, on her wedding day, she had a detailed run sheet with different colour coded versions for each unique group of people involved in the organisation and running of. She somehow knew my favourite colour was blue and it was [...]

Dave and Corinne in Canberra

For along time, all of the people that hired me were people who knew people who knew people I knew. It’s nice getting work like that, you know that people like what you do and they tell their friends about it. Nick and Leah are single handedly responsible for at least 5 of the weddings [...]

The first time I met Elesha and Luke in real life, they were a friendly pair of drunkards at another wedding I was photographing! We spoke for a few minutes and I left thinking they seemed like a fun pair of people and that photographing their wedding would be a load of fun. While I [...]

As a wedding photographer who’s trying to get his business off the ground, I generally accept every wedding enquiry that comes my way. Obviously some weddings are more fun to go to than others and that has to do with your personal preferences around weddings and your outlook on life in general. The first moment [...]

My sister had two best friends for her entire life in Australia (since she was 5). One of these friends, is Malsha. I still remember playing together as kids (Malsha’s older brother and I were buddies) and spending most of our time making it difficult for our little sisters. I haven’t got them at the [...]

Eve and Nathan’s wedding was unusual because it was held on a Friday. I woke early in the morning to find it was raining, generally a bit of a downer for everyone. After arriving at the venue, the beautiful Ravensthorpe, just a little south of Wollongong, the rain was still a little stop-start but that [...]

Rob and Sarah in Camden

I first met Rob about 6 or 7 years ago when his old band, The Dawn Collective, were up against my band in our university band competition final. His band was mind blowingly awesome and they won the competition and moved on to bigger and better things! As my musical career slowly faded out and [...]
