Yesterday we wrapped up our second-last round of Christmas minis, and here’s a little sneak peek from a few sessions of the day!

Our Milk & Cookies set has officially wrapped up, but there’s still time to get into the Christmas spirit with our Christmas Bakehouse and Traditional sets.

We have just three spots remaining, so get in quick if you’d love to secure one! ❤️

Not only did I get to capture Brianna before two becomes three, but I also got to capture her officially entering her fiancée era 🤍✨

There’s something so special about getting to photograph your best friends as they step into some of life’s biggest and most beautiful chapters.

I can’t wait for baby to be earthside, for you both to experience the magic of parenthood, and for you all to officially become the Patterson family. 🥹🤍

So much love for this next chapter, and I feel so lucky to capture it all.

Hi everyone 🤍

I’m currently away enjoying a small but much needed break, so business is temporarily on pause.

All enquiries and galleries will be attended to once I’m back, throughout the course of next week.

Thank you for your patience and understanding while I take a little time to recharge 🫶🏼

What a beautiful August wedding 🤍

A day filled with beautiful moments, so much love, plenty of laughter and a few heartfelt tears — not just from the bride and groom, but from almost everyone in the room.

I had the sweetest morning with Emily as she got ready, before we headed into one of my favourite parts of the day — the first look. But this wasn’t just any first look. Emily had a very special surprise tucked inside her dad’s jacket, and it’s safe to say none of us had dry eyes 🥹

Emily and Lucas said yes to forever at the stunning Blue Gum Station, surrounded by the people they love most. And then came the arrival of the sweetest little flower girl, Annabelle, in her very own personalised plate car. 🥹🤍 This was a first for me, and I sincerely hope it’s not the last because it was quite possibly the coolest thing ever.

Once the formalities and portraits were wrapped up, and some beautiful speeches were made, Emily and Lucas decided to take things up a notch with a scavenger hunt, with the grand prize being a Ninja Slushy. What followed was absolute chaos in the best possible way.

Every round brought something completely unexpected, and somehow, in the middle of it all, I ended up having my shoe ripped off and my sock stolen by one of the guests , all caught on camera, of course. You’ll know exactly when you see it. Atleast after all that effort, I’m very glad to report that he didn’t lose THAT round.

From the quiet, emotional moments to the absolute chaos on the dance floor, this day really had everything you could wish for in a wedding. A beautiful love story, celebrated in the best way, with the people who mean the most.

Congratulations, Mr & Mrs Hawkins 🤍

Here’s to a lifetime of choosing each other, laughing together, and creating a whole lot more memories like these.

There’s something really special about getting to photograph someone’s wedding day, but getting to photograph your best friend’s wedding day? That hits a little differently. 🤍

One of my favourite things about this job is that I get to be invited into some of the biggest, happiest and most meaningful days of people’s lives. But when that person is someone I’ve grown up with, someone I’ve known my entire life, and someone I love with my whole heart… it becomes so much more than just another wedding to photograph.

I was lucky enough to spend the morning with my best friend, capturing all of those little moments before she became a wife — the getting ready, the laughter, the girls, the nerves, the excitement, and watching her step into her dress for the first time. Then, once I had officially clocked off, I got to put the camera down and be there as a guest, watching her marry the love of her life. 🥹

And there’s a pretty special little piece of history behind all of this too. I’ve known Cass my entire life, and fun fact: if it wasn’t for her formal after-party eight years ago, this photography business probably wouldn’t exist. She was the reason I picked up a camera in the first place. I started by taking modelling photos of her (and let’s just say… our early work was definitely a learning curve 😂), never knowing that one day I’d be standing beside her on her wedding day, camera in hand, capturing these moments for her.

To see how far we’ve both come, and to watch this beautiful, vibrant, wonderful human step into such an exciting new chapter of her life, was genuinely something I’ll never forget.

Cassidy, I love you with my whole heart. I’m so incredibly grateful I got to capture these moments for you before I put my camera down and became a guest. 🤍

Congratulations to Mr & Mrs Harold. I love you both endlessly. 🥂🤍
