Enjoy a few photos of my Christmas with my family..what a blessing it was!
It was made even richer by having Lauren’s aunt and uncle visit us for Christmas from Kelowna, BC, Canada!
Next post - the Jesh De Rox workshop recap!
P.S. I have something HUGE in the works and it’s going to change the direction of my photography business forever. I really am so excited for this venture and how it’s going to benefit ALL my clients beyond belief.

“You look beautiful darling” This is what Scott said as Amber approached him as they were about to be married.
Amber & Scott’s perfect day was held at the Pavillion function centre, in Tamworth. My iphone weather app was telling me to expect a huge storm, but Amber had been praying so hard, that nothing could get in the way of Amber and Scott’s perfect wedding.
Amber & Scott had a marvellous group of people around them to help celebrate their marriage, even the guy that liked to whip my butt with his tie every time I walked past. 
It was such a joy to witness the way Amber & Scott revel in each other, and being privileged enough to be with them with a camera in hand whilst this happened.
Amber & Scott, I wish you all the best in your married life together, and can’t wait to have you in the studio for your PREMIERE of your wedding collection!

This post has taken a while to go up..but… While Lauren and I were in Maui, Hawaii for Kristi and Richard’s Wedding, we had a day off and decided to go Parasailing. I originally wasn’t going to go, and just organised for Lauren to go because it’s on her list of things to do in this life..but then I changed my mind and fought the chicken inside me.
For those of you wondering, no, it’s not really that scary, and yes I had so much fun and yes I would do it again.

“Tell her she’s pretty even if she looks like a truck”. This is something I’ll never forget. This is also something that Daniel will never need to remember.
Every wedding is special, but there was a special something about this one, perhaps it was the outwardly visible love that Stephanie and Daniel had for each other, or the loving support network they had there to celebrate their wedding with them.. or perhaps both? Whatever it was, this was a wedding I’ll never forget.
Steph looked like a princess. I don’t mean that in a way where you say it to compliment someone, I mean she LOOKED LIKE A PRINCESS! I could have quite easily been photograhing royalty. Daniel was looking quite dapper, but didn’t look like a princess :-)
Daniel & Steph met nearly 4 years ago, when Daniel was Steph’s R.A. at college. Dan picked Steph out as his, and soon enough she fell for him. They’ve been through alot together, and these best buds are so in love that nothing could break them apart.
Everyone has been asking me about these photos.. well here they are folks. There will be another post going up with photos from the CRAZYBOOTH! Just you wait!
Thanks Steph, Dan and both your families for having me be a part of this celebration of your new life together.
p.s. It really upsets me when people come and go without leaving a comment! Comments show me that people are enjoying the photos, and it’s a well known fact that if we get enough comments, I often do another post with more photos form that wedding! Win/Win!

Welcome to those of you who are finding this website after seeing this wedding featured in today’s local paper, the Armidale Express! I regularly update this part of the website with lots and lots of new shoots, with weddings making up the vast majority of the posts.
I was expecting to have fun.. I’ve been looking forward to this wedding for a long time…Having a couple of crazy cops getting married.. how could you not have fun? I’m so intrigued by their job.. I ask so many annoying questions i’m sure…
What I wasn’t expecting was to be so moved by emotion, unlike never before at a wedding. The father daughter dance moved me to tears behind the camera, I was so glad I was able to hide behind that HUGE camera.
I’ve also never felt so special at a wedding.. Casey and Sarah called me up during their speech and thanked me in front of everyone. It’s nice to be wanted!
Ok, so this wedding wasn’t about me.. and you didn’t come here to read about my experience with this wedding..
With their reception Marquee perched on top of a hill, Casey & Sarah rode up to their reception on horseback. It was an amazing sight, with every guest in sight holding a camera out to celebrate the event and capture this unique moment.
Gareth Rickards was the MC for this event too… the greatest MC in history! Gareth has been the MC for a few weddings I’ve photographed, the first was for Casey’s brother Taylor, who’s wedding I photographed 2 years ago. It was so good to see Taylor and Alison, with their baby daughter at this wedding.
I know you’ll love this wedding, it was a special one!
p.s. Thanks to Emily the work experience girl from Narrabri who came down for the week to hang out and learn some stuff. I hope you’re my competition one day!
