Ebony and Justin’s wedding was another occasion when the weather was to play a major role. Having heard that heavy rain storms were forecast for their big day, Ebony and Justin made the huge last-minute decision to change the venue for their wedding ceremony. They had chosen Emerald Lake Park but acting upon advice from the Park Rangers a new venue was found and, with only a day to go, all the guests were informed of the new arrangements. The late change didn’t affect the occasion though, it was an emotional and fun-filled day and the reception at Linley Estate in Kilsyth was perfect. After all the worry of the previous few days it was a relief to see that the day went so well and it’s amazing how much can be achieved in such a short space of time! Congratulations Ebony and...

The weather decided to play a big part in Lisa and Aaran’s wedding and having planned the bridal party shoot on a beach, to take place before their ceremony, we had a late change of plan and gathered at Federation Square to take some shots under cover. This alternative plan worked really well as there are some great areas which have a wonderful graphic feel to them and photos can be really striking. This was a real family occasion as we had with us Lisa and Aaran’s children and parents as well as the bridal party and after capturing plenty of fun shots we all made our way to the Port Melbourne Yacht Club for a very entertaining wedding ceremony and...

The final pre-wedding shoot for 2011 and it was Kylie and Dave’s turn to meet us in Mornington, this time on Fishermans Beach. They probably wondered what we were doing when we started the session by using a very rusty tin shed as a backdrop but we like the way it can produce some dramatic, gritty shots. Then it was time to get down to the beach, still our favourite type of location since we moved to Melbourne from the...

For a change of scenery we met Sarah Jayne and Chris in Melbourne’s Fitzroy Gardens for their pre-wedding shoot. They live in Sunbury so these gardens made a good half-way meeting place. We have only used this location a couple of times before and we keep finding new areas to explore. The small pond and bridge is a lovely romantic spot and because it is hidden away it helped both Sarah Jayne and Chris relax. Hopefully that becomes more obvious as you look further down their...

For this pre-wedding shoot we met Jacqueline and Daniel on Mothers Beach in Mornington. Here’s another couple who were great fun to work with and were quite happy for us to take them to some of our favourite spots on this beach. We are so lucky to have a variety of great locations right on our doorstep and we’re quite happy for our couples to request a beach shoot, our thanks to Jacqueline and Daniel for being so...
