It took a lot of willpower not to thieve all of the little metal bugs. 💀

This day. These people. It’s real life, just a bit more fancy. I adore you T⚡️J, not long to wait now. I want to mention the incredible podcast I listened to on the way back from shooting this wedding in Katanning, it was Louis Theroux (one of my favourite people) interviewing Nick Cave (another of my favourite people). They chatted for 90 minutes and I was absolutely glued to it, while driving through the beautiful and brutal West Australian countryside on a hot day. I will always remember it. If you haven’t been to Katanning, do yourself a favour. It’s really f-ing far away, but it had a nostalgic Australiana beauty that was really inspiring.

A moment for T⚡️J in some glorious afternoon rays.

Sometimes all you need is a random road in the middle of nowhere and a bit of good company.

A snippet that sums up the incredible, colourful, heartfelt weirdness that is C⚡️B.

They celebrated in a way that was truly their own, and I couldn’t have been more on board.

Can we do it again?

How Crap I Am At Using Chat GPT

Episode: 2.

“Please write me a statement about how excited I am to kick off my wedding season with this beautiful couple. Make it edgy, with a sprinkle of wit and and a pinch of humour. Also mention that I also still have availability for 2025. Aaaand go.”

The result:

“Ready to kick off wedding season in style with this stunning couple, who are as gorgeous as they are madly in love! Can’t wait to capture every epic moment of their big day (and sneak in a dance or two). Here’s to love, laughter, and no ugly-crying selfies. And hey, 2025 brides and grooms-to-be—there’s still room on the calendar for your love story! Let’s make magic happen.”

Verdict: Firstly, who takes selfies of ugly crying? I hate the word ‘epic’ and never use it. I don’t make magic happen, I just photograph it. Ew, David.
🤮

See you soon mates, I’m excited.

Mid-winter night nuptials? Yes please. Loved this cheeky little evening elopement for V⚡️V

I’m playing with the idea of adding my pricing to my website, in favour of total transparency. What do you think? I really want my couples to experience the whole enquiry-to-final-product in the easiest and most honest way, so I’m keen to find out whether price lists on websites help that process. It has been a while since I planned my own wedding and I hate to admit that it was *cough*before social media existed *cough*, so if anybody is going through the planning stage at the moment and has a minute to give me some feedback I’d love to hear from you.

I often get asked about my favourite weddings, and it’s a hard question to answer. For me, it isn’t about the budget, the style, the venue or any of the other surface bits a couple choose. It isn’t whether they are wearing designer clothes or have a table styled by x,y or z. Instead, it’s about people who honour themselves and their loved ones by celebrating in a way that means something to them. Yes, that might mean a big flamboyant event with fancy stuff paraded around and champagne flung in every direction, but for a lot of my couples it’s a cozy backyard party with their closest people, their pets, their favourite home cooked food and interpretive dance moves to some banger childhood classics. So the answer to that question is: My favourite thing is when couples celebrate with their favourite things.

More home portraits with pets please. Bonus points if your outfits are this cool.

I finished my final edits of the ‘official’ season, but looking forward to a bunch of winter weddings over the next few months. Get in touch if you’re planning something cool, I still have some dates available.

Red roses on film will always be cool. It makes all of my rock-power-ballad-music-video dreams come true. My personal fave is ‘November Rain’. Do yourself a favour, plus there’s a wedding in it.

15/04/2024

These incredibly talented souls are on my screen this week and I’m pretty stoked about it. I have a few remaining dates for winter available, so get in touch if you are making some last-minute plans. For any other weird and wonderful projects…. I’d love to chat... ⚡️🔥

I don’t often do the ole bubbly shot, but when I do, it goes f-ing everywhere. All over me, the cameras, all over the gang, bloody everywhere. Good times 🤘

22/03/2024

Some of my favourite frames from last weekend with S⚡️R. What blew me away about their wedding was the abundance of sentimental touches. When so many family members contribute their time, skills and love to a celebration it really pays off. It’s a lot of work, but the rewards are immense.

I have a bunch of old film cameras to play around with at weddings, but for these I dug out the first film camera I ever owned. It might not look very pretty, it’s a Nikon F55 SLR from the early 00’s (silver edition). I nearly got rid of it a bunch of times because it looks really dorky, but you can’t get rid of something that works awesomely because it looks ‘un-cool’. So cheers to being even less ‘cool’ than I appeared before (if that’s even possible).

Planning a cheeky last minute wed-fest? I’m keen to fill my autumn/winter Perth calendar while everyone else is enjoying a European summer. I’ll give the hot weather a miss thanks. (Posted from my air-conditioned cave, which I refuse to leave until this 40+ degree business goes the F away.)
Elopement coverage starts at $2,700. Let’s chat!

There’s no such thing as ‘normal’.

Here’s to the People.

The fence-jumpers, the barefoot wanderers, the sun chasers and rain dancers. The go-getters, the rebels, the individuals, the trend-setters. The creative souls, the rule-breakers, the weirdos and the brave. The passionate dreamers and the do-what-we-like-ers.

Here's to the ones getting married their own way.
