Sweetheart session - Allison and Hayden

There are people in the world who are just so beautiful, yet have absolutely no idea. Allison is one of these people. She.is.gorgeous. Inside and out. Yet is completely unaware. I think it's one of the things I love about her.





I met up with Hayden and Allison yesterday for their sweetheart session. Their photo shoot would not have been complete without them bringing along Buzz and Hugo. This cute couple were just like so many couples I photograph - shy about having their photo taken. I totally understand this, heck, I'm not a huge fan of having my photo taken. But Allison and Hayden soon relaxed, and had fun playing in the park with their puppies.

Hello Hugo. Yes, I'm talking to you.







Gorgeous time of day for photos. Combine that with a killer dress and you've got magic!











Thanks for hanging out guys. I had a blast, even when Hugo licked me.

Sweetheart session - Kellie and Mark

You absolutely cannot beat the onset of spring. Especially when you spend it in a peach blossom orchard. A pink whirl of goodness.

I've just come back from a weekend back up in Shepparton. Miles and I went on a (very) mini-holiday, visiting friends and family. Throw in a glorious photo shoot, and it was a great trip.

I met Kellie and Mark over 12 months ago, and now all of a sudden their wedding is 6 weeks away. When I met them Kellie was pregnant. Now Phoenix is one, and seeing him toddling around reminded me how much time flies.

I'm kinda tired from the drive, so I'm going to leave the words out (they're not making much sense in my head) and let the photos do the talking.





























Love you guys. Thanks for the laughs! Catch you oh so very very soon.

Wedding -Lidia and Michael

I learnt a lot about family at Michael and Lidia's wedding. I learnt that you don't forget them. No matter how often you see them, or how distant they are. You include them because they are your family, and they love you.

At their wedding Michael and Lidia surrounded themselves with their family, making their wedding full of emanating warmth. I couldn't help but be moved watching the guests greet each other outside the church. They opened their arms, hugged, called to each other. It was joyous, just as a wedding should be.













Can you spot me in the light?


Hello Michael. Stud.









One very beautiful element of Michael and Lidia's service were the AUSLAN translators. Lidia's father as well as other members of the congregation are deaf. They had translators stood up on the altar and signed the service. I've never seen sign language performed at length. I found the fluid hand movements completely mesmerising. *love* this sign.











Not even August drizzle could stop the fun. We took shelter under the eaves of the gorgeous Melbourne Exhibition building as the rain came down, ate lollies, and largely ignored the darkening sky.















Lidia, you are divine and beautiful.



And onto the reception! Champagne cocktail if you please.

















I need to explain this photo, and it's worth baring with me. On the right we have Michael's father delivering his heartfelt speech to the newlyweds. In Italian. In the middle is the AUSLAN trasnlater, translating his speech. But the translator doesn't speak Italian. So in stepped the emcee on the left. He was whispering the english translation of Michael's father's speech into the translators ear. Who was then signing it.







This last great dancing shot was taken by my assistant Sarah. Priceless.



And here's Sarah. Did you have a good day? Is that yes?



Lidia and Michael are on route to Italy for their honeymoon. Have a wonderful trip, and eat lots of gelati for me!
