Kylie and Mike

Kylie and Mike

Just for a change we had an evening pre-wedding shoot recently, this was for Kylie and Mike and we met them in Mordialloc for a coffee before strolling down to the beach. Our timing was good as the sun was just going down at the end of a warm day and the sunset was pretty [...]


Kara and Andrew

Kara and Andrew

With their wedding only a few weeks away we finally managed to meet up with Kara and Andrew in Somers for their pre-wedding shoot. With busy jobs they have been hard to pin-down but we were glad to see them as it was the first time we met Andy. We don’t think he had been [...]


Ariel and Dale

Ariel and Dale

We had been trying to catch up with Ariel and Dale for some weeks but they’ve always been busy with work, however we managed to see them in Williamstown recently and, after a coffee and chat, we headed over to the harbour for their shoot. The foreshore and park by the pier is very pretty [...]


Jennifer and Daniel

Jennifer and Daniel

Jennifer and Daniel suggested we meet at a beach during their Christmas holiday for their pre-wedding shoot and, as Brighton is mid-way between us, we suggested the park at North Point. This area has some lovely old trees for when you need shade and a rocky foreshore with views to the city, plus a new [...]


Tammy and Chris

Tammy and Chris

We met Tammy and Chris at The Rocks in Mornington Harbour and had a chat over a coffee before heading out into the stiff breeze for their pre-wedding shoot. And it was certainly windy when we reached the top of Schnapper Point and continued down to the rocky shoreline. We really like the rugged scenery [...]


Ebony and Justin

Ebony and Justin

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 [...]


Lisa and Aaran

Lisa and Aaran

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 [...]


Kylie and Dave

Kylie and Dave

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, [...]


Sarah Jayne and Chris

Sarah Jayne and Chris

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 [...]


Jacqueline and Daniel

Jacqueline and Daniel

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 [...]


Narelle and Dean

Narelle and Dean

We suggested meeting Narelle and Dean on Mt Martha Beach for their pre-wedding shoot recently and it was great to find that they are both perfectly relaxed in front of the camera as you can see from the results below. Narelle’s decision to wear that brightly coloured dress turned out to be a good one [...]


Sheryn and Michael

Sheryn and Michael

Our colleagues Beth and Dave shot Sheryn and Michael’s wedding recently and it seems that we missed out on a really fun day. The ceremony was in the beautiful St Michael’s Church in Melbourne, with it’ s unusual theatre-style design the photos look amazing. The bridal party shots were taken around Parliament and Treasury Gardens [...]


Lisa and Aaran

Lisa and Aaran

We met Lisa and Aaran in Fitzroy Gardens in Melbourne for their pre-wedding shoot and their children, Cody and Kiarra, came along as well to burn off some energy running around the park. This was our first proper visit to these gardens and we were delighted to find some lovely locations, especially the hidden pond [...]


Ebony and Justin

Ebony and Justin

It had been about a year since we had last met Ebony and Justin so it was great to hear about their plans when we recently caught up with them for their pre-wedding shoot. We met up in Mornington for coffee and, as rain threatened, we headed down to the water to use the beach [...]


Kristy and Howard

Kristy and Howard

Another pre-wedding shoot and this time our colleagues Beth and Dave met up with Kristy and Howard in Mordialloc for a wander along the inlet to the beach-side park. As usual for Mordialloc it was a windy day but they were lucky as the sun shone and the shoot was a good practice run for [...]


Dorienne and Oran

Dorienne and Oran

Dorienne and Oran will be having their wedding in the city next month so they asked to have their pre-wedding shoot on a beach. The Middle Brighton beach is always a good choice, the colourful beach boxes are immediately recognisable and we love the riot of colours they provide. It was a bright, sunny day [...]


Lani and Michael

Lani and Michael

We headed up to Brighton to meet Lani and Michael on a chilly Spring day and as usual there were plenty of people about, all seemingly determined to get into the photos themselves. The sea breeze was constantly blowing Lani’s hair over Michael and our biggest challenge of the day was trying to position Lani [...]


Keri and Alex

Keri and Alex

Another pre-wedding shoot for our colleagues Beth and Dave, this time with Keri and Alex whom we all met up with in Mordialloc on yet another beautiful Spring day. Such a lovely day in fact that the pier was full of families aimlessly strolling along and getting in the way of some great shots. It [...]


Sheryn and Michael

Sheryn and Michael

Our colleagues Beth and Dave will be shooting Sheryn and Michael’s wedding for us in September so they met the happy couple in Mornington for a pre-wedding shoot. We tagged along for the obligatory coffee and chat before Beth and Dave took them off to Royal Beach where they had Sheryn and Michael clambering over the [...]


Chloe and Tom

Chloe and Tom

We met Chloe and Tom in Mordialloc for their pre-wedding shoot and it was such a beautiful day that the town was buzzing with visitors. After a quick coffee and chat we headed for the beach and had fun trying to work our way around the crowds determined to walk down the jetty. Don’t these [...]


Mary and Anthony

Mary and Anthony

Our first pre-wedding shoot of the new season and we met Mary and Anthony in Mornington for a coffee and chat before heading off to the beach for their shoot. It was chilly to start with as the wind was cold but down on the beach at we soon warmed up and, after they relaxed [...]


Velina and John

Velina and John

We were glad to have the opportunity to meet Velina and John in St Kilda for their pre-wedding shoot because their big day is only 2 weeks away, we don’t often have to arrange this meeting quite so close to a wedding! We find that a pre-wedding shoot really helps our couples to experience what [...]


Emma and Sean

Emma and Sean

Emma and Sean met us at Fisherman’s Beach in Mornington for their pre-wedding shoot. We had a quick coffee and chat in Lilo, our favourite local cafe, and then it was over to the beach to take some photos. It was another lovely sunny day but luckily the beach was very quiet and we didn’t [...]


Carlie and Adam

Carlie and Adam

Carlie and Adam chose to meet us in Mornington for their pre-wedding shoot and having been to the local beaches a number of times recently we suggested that we use the local harbour as a location. This area has some old boat slipways which make a good backdrop and the rocky features of Schnapper Point [...]
