Congratulations to Shanalee and Isuru on their special day! Isuru and I have known each over many years. He has many qualities this 7 sacraments man, it was a pleasure to be part of the day and to get to know Shanalee better. It is great to see Isuru has a strong, wise and beautiful woman by his side. It was a joy to capture these special moments for this sneak peak, highlighting what stood out for me.

The day began at the beautiful All Saints Anglican Church East St Kilda , where Shanalee and Isuru exchanged vows in front of their parish family.

After the ceremony, we headed to Albert Park Lake for their bridal portraits. A beautiful part of Melbourne—water, greenery, and the city skyline all coming together perfectly, a perfect backdrop for Shanalee and Isuru.

The celebrations continued at the Ultima Function Centre , where the MEC Ballroom was filled with love, laughter, and nonstop dancing and single malt whisky for the guests, style!.

Thank you, Shanalee and Isuru, for letting me be part of such a special day. Capturing these moments for you was an honour, and I wish you both nothing but a lifetime of happiness together as you work your way to heaven!

Shanalee and Isuru’s beaming smiles made our job so easy last Saturday. They were married at the beautiful All Saints Anglican Church East St Kilda, followed by a celebration in the hall with their parish community.

Our bridal party then headed to one of my favourite spots in Melbourne—Albert Park Lake. Water, greenery, and city views all in one spot—perfection!

The celebration continued in the elegant MEC Ballroom at Ultima Function Centre. The reception was filled with love, dancing, and so much joy. It was truly special to see these two lovely souls come together.

Shanalee & Isuru, thank you for letting us be part of your day. May your love only grow with every passing day, and may your smiles never fade. 💗🤗

Mt Dandenong set the perfect backdrop for Sarina and Ben’s big day last Saturday. Despite the heat, the stunning La Terrazza at Carlei Wines & The Green Vineyards provided breathtaking views for their “I do’s.” 💕

The celebration continued in the Winery Room, filled with cheer, delicious food, and drinks. 🥂

Sarina, it was a joy to capture another special day with you—this time, your own wedding! Wishing you and Ben a lifetime of love and happiness. 🤗

Encore Studio just celebrated 20 years! 🎉 November 1st, 2004 was the day it all began. I remember sitting with my late Mum at the business registration office, waiting for our number to be called. We had three name options in hand. After a two-hour wait, we found out our first choice was already taken. Little did I know, “Encore Studio” would be the perfect fit. Encore Studio's original tagline was, “A repeat performance you’ll want time and again,” and that’s still our mission for every client.

We marked the milestone at our local Thai restaurant, celebrating with the pillars behind our business: Dad, Margot & Kelli. Our kids are always excited to spend time with them, giving us the freedom to capture these special moments. And of course our gorgeous kids that fill our lives and days with so much happiness.

Here’s to two decades of creating, and to our clients who trust us time and again. Thank you for being part of our journey! 🥂

It's our 20th birthday! 🥳

On November 1st, 2004, Encore Studio was born as a graphic design business. I started by bringing creative visions to life for small businesses and freelanced as a graphic artist with many of Australia’s top brands and agencies.

In 2016, after Corey and I were married, Encore Studio reinvented itself, moving into photography and videography with a focus on capturing unforgettable wedding moments. This new direction added a deeply personal element to our work, allowing us to document the most meaningful days in people’s lives.

Today, Encore Studio has expanded to all life's special moments. We help businesses bring their brands to life, turn wedding and family memories into art, and capture the inspiring performances of young stars in school productions.

As we celebrate 20 years, we are filled with gratitude and excitement for what’s to come. We thank all our clients and friends who have journeyed with us along they way. You truly make what we do incredibly special. We are here to capture the moments your want to relive time and again.

🎉 We had a fabulous time at the All Energy Australia Exhibition & Conference 2024, capturing the excitement and energy of Yingli Australia’s participation!

A huge thank you to their incredible and friendly team—we loved working with you all! Your stand was absolutely epic, and it was inspiring to see you in action while we learnt more about your advanced solar panels. If you need solar panels, should be your first stop.

✨ Wow! Just Wow! ✨
Sometimes, I almost feel guilty that my job is taking photos because I love it so much. Photography has been my passion since I was 12, and now it’s my everyday joy. Hearing how thrilled clients are with their photos makes me feel a little less guilty about having so much fun doing what I love. Capturing these special moments for you is truly a dream come true. 💖
