A rural backdrop with the ceremony set on the family farm - the perfect venue! Awesome couple, glamorous guests, stunning blue sky day. What more could you ask. xx

Not sure if you can see the man’s face very well-the guy on the footpath. The photo is a cropped in one from the phone so it’s not great resolution sorry. Anyways his face is looking at the crazy woman pointing at the bus and thinking what the heck. Yeah crazy woman is me.😂

I was out riding and we saw a bus go by and it had one of my images on the back - so we followed it to get a picture. It’s not every day you see your image on the back of the bus - a first time for me so I was a tad excited 🤣😜

Just went down and watched Sam Ruthe run 1000m and break age record! What a machine!! Amazingly the weather, which had been throwing down thunder and lightening, decided to pull it back to just a light shower during his race. Almost straight after the thunder and lightening started up again. Well done weatherman.

I was excited when I received an email asking if I could do a pin-up style portrait. Got in some lovely blue paper for a background and the lady brought a polka dot red dress. Have some lovely colourful and fun final images for the client... you'll just have to imagine what they look like though as the one I am sharing is a black and white! It's one of my favourites from the session. In my head I was going for 1950's/60's Hollywood star sort of vibe.

I enjoy simplicity in photos. Here's a competition that celebrates that. This link takes you to the awards page. I entered two images and got an honourable mention with one of them in the street category which was cool, but more the point of this post is that the photography is quite different and interesting and I thought some of you might enjoy checking it out with your morning cuppa. Have a great day! x

We waited until right at the end to do the water ones ... we were all rather cold (especially the lightly clothed bride!) but what great sports this lovely couple were. I think my preference is the colour version ... but then I waiver ... maybe black and white? Hmmmm......

Meet new celebrant Nick. Quite the character. If you wanting easy-going and a bit of a laugh this man is your man. He got his license so he could marry his good friends. What a guy! And I am envious that he can do that thing with his eyes. I try but I just end up looking like I’ve got a bug in my eye 😜
