While relocating shooting locations, This unplanned yet dramatic shot was taken when I directed my attention toward this incredible sky. Light and exposure all set, bride and groom standing in a pose, there was still something missing - The veil must fly! - we all agreed. Shooting without an assistant on that particular day, and knowing we must get this shot, the bride was actually the one to flag down a stranger who under my careful direction got the veiled way up there.
Wendy and Steve were such a fearless couple. When the weather is like this all day at your wedding, it's important to get a shot that stands out forever.. we all got soaked and laughed loads.
We always like to start with just a touch of light. For this shot, we knew we had to go for something sublime to play off of the hair, bouquet, and gown. After we got our light just so, all we had to do was compose it. The end result is something we really treasure.
Tony & Vivian Both were the wonderful couple and gave me the creative freedom to do what I love most and passionate about without any limitations. I took the opportunity to capture their wedding shoot at a brand new beautiful Elizabeth Quay in Perth, Western Australia. Being a newly developed architectural piece of Perth City I had to take the opportunity to create a unique photo especially for them. This photo was taken on the bridge as the two bold steel arches meet in the middle. It was a lot of challenge as it was cold and windy. I shot them with two sets of Speedlight and had to capture them with limited time as the sunlight was diminishing. The outcome was straight out of the camera with some lightroom fine tuning and colour adjustments.
This was taken just after the wedding ceremony under a railway bridge next to the church. I have lived around this area all my life and had always wanted to do this shot. For a church that is so local to me, I had strangely only shot one wedding here previously. On that occasion, the light just wasn't right. I promised myself I would only make the image if it would work out as I'd hoped in my mind. One this occasion everything was right. It was sunny, the shaft of light falling on the back wall was perfect and I had a bride and groom that were as enthusiastic as me for the outcome. They both waded over gravel and dirt and we achieved this image together!
This was Catherine and Andy’s engagement shoot, in Cannon Hall Park which is actually five minuets from where I live. I used to play here as the little girl and knew it had a magical fairy-like ambiance to it. The ruins are tucked away at the bottom of the lily pond, hidden in all the reeds. I used flash to the right-hand side and shot it from the other side of the pond some distance away. It was fairly late in the evening with few people around which made it feel so much more special.
This was an Arabic wedding photoshoot in the magic Margarita Island, Venezuela. It was a busy and beautifull day shooting in the beach with some problems with the air; it was so strong.
This photo was shot in central Hong Kong. The intention of this photo was meant to tell the newly-weds that life as a journey, it has detours, turning up and down but it is important to take each step at a time. That’s the truth behind marriage and eventually, it will reach to the top, a better life. I hope their story of life will portray it to their ideal.
This particular one was taken at 9 pm at Wadi rum. Back then I wasn't able to see the beautiful bride and groom since it was completely dark. Duration of this shot was a total of 15 minutes, and I must admit I couldn't have made it without their patience. we agreed to call this experience " A shoot through the darkness". Hats off to a very cool and loving couple who helped me make my first ever bridal shoot in wadi rum work!
This is beautiful, but the challenging hotel to shoot in. I know it was important to the couple to incorporate the Philadelphia skyline in their images, and they wanted a different kind of feel- so we ended up with this shot which they loved!
This is a special picture for me personally as the groom is a good friend of mine. I was delighted when the couple picked me to be their wedding photographer as I was picturing this day in my head for a very long time. I wanted to add a personal touch to capture their special day. As I prepped the couple to the photo session I told them to remember the first day they laid eyes on each other, in an instant, they were in their own dreamland in love. The bond, the love, the affection , and happiness is simply captured in a picture frame. Preserving a love story is what brings joy to me and this picture surely witnesses the core. So thus far it's one of my personal favourites.
This is a park that I shoot at quite frequently. The bride mentioned how she loved all of the images I've taken by these trees, so she wanted to get something with her fiancé there. The only problem is it was dark and gloomy all day, and natural it looked very drab in the spot. I exposed for the sky behind the trees and used some flash to highlight the couple.
This image was taken on the couple's wedding day at one of Perth's most popular location for wedding couples. It was an overcast day and light was pretty dull. However after placing the couple next to the pond, we managed to get a pretty nice soft light for a short period of time shining on the couple which brings out the reflecting off them on the pond. With the combination of this beautiful architecture and the gorgeous couple with the perfect soft light, we ended up with this dramatic masterpiece! The couple loves this image very much!
This image was literally the last photo of the location shoot and taken on the hottest day in Darwin since 1944! Tropical Darwin indeed! We were at Mindl Beach, on top of a sand dune. I don't know what it is about the Top End of Australia, but everything just seems bigger! All I could see was a huge sun, big skies and the feeling of space, so in my mind, I could see a silhouette shot as the perfect close to their location shoot. We kept it really natural, and one thing you can't see in the photo but they were completely surrounded by dragonflies. It was magical!
This image is colour but it need not be. I loved how the river rocks surround the couple and the stillness of the water creates a clean frame for Simon and Michelle. It's a busy scene but your eyes are pulled directly to the couple.

This couple was really great to work with, and the synagogue they chose for the event was great. The second I saw the staircase, I knew I had to take advantage. This was one of my first shots with the couple, and I immediately felt like I had struck gold when I looked through the lens
There was a terrible wind and rain storm during this wedding. The power was out almost the entire day. 5 minutes before this photo was taken, the power was restored...it was late evening, but the setting sun popped out for a few minutes, so we had some beautiful late afternoon light on the groom's face. When I saw this sign on the grounds of the venue, I knew I had to have a photo by it. I originally wanted the bride and groom to kiss, but the groom kissed his bride's forehead and I knew that was so much better!
The first dance of Maria and Stephen. This is a very special image as the bride is my little sister, not only a wedding moment captured forever but a family one too.
The couple wanted to goes somewhere special for their couple shoot. We settled for this lake, which had a very "Canadian" feeling. It was summer and we played in the last rays of the sun, embracing the cold coming to us very softly. It was a magical summer.
The bride, Ash, was reading from a card. I can't remember what it said but it was lovely enough that it managed to get a tear out of her. Then everything just came together. Everyone positioned themselves just right. Ash started doing that weird flappy hand thing that girls do and started laughing. Then the pointed finger came in from the corner of the frame and I had the shot. I worked the scene as well - straight after this all of the girls started a hand flapping storm around Ash's face. I thought this shot was better, though!
