This is what a wedding means to me\u2026<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It is the most special of days, there is laughter, there are tears, there is joy and there is love. This is a day filled with fleeting moments, where time stands still and two people join together.<\/p>\n

I guarantee I will capture unrepeatable emotions that few people will even notice. I don\u2019t just use my cameras for this, I use my heart, soul & all that I am.<\/p>\n

About me<\/strong><\/h4>\n

A quick “about me”… my first professional assignment was in 1998 in Alice Springs, I then moved to Cobargo NSW (Bega Valley) in 2001, my home ever since. I have been a full time professional photographer since 2004,\u00a0this is not just a sideline or hobby for me \u2014 I am deeply committed to my art & profession.<\/span><\/p>\n

In that time I have photographed over 300 weddings in; the desert, the beach, remote bush, snow, tropical islands & major cities, ranging from 2 to 500 people.\u00a0Although I have extensive experience in the areas of Sport, Landscape & Commercial photography, people are my passion, especially weddings.<\/p>\n

My approach to your wedding would be \u2014 even though I play a very important part of your day, I don’t believe the whole day is about photography! I won’t drag you away from your family & friends for a 3 hour “shoot”, nor will I be telling you what to do all day long.<\/p>\n

I like to be as unobtrusive as possible and not stand in the way of natural moments.\u00a0I strongly believe in “keeping it real”, I love truth & authenticity.<\/p>\n

I don’t follow the latest ever changing photography fads\/gimmicks\/props, to do so means your photos are not really “you” and will quickly date.<\/p>\n

I want your photos to be more about you than me. Most off all I want to show\u00a0who<\/em>\u00a0you are as individuals & the sum total of you, together \u2014 as life partners.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

After many years of photographing around 45 weddings a year, I made the conscious decision to limit this. I get hundreds of enquiries every year, but I cap it at a maximum of 10 weddings per year now. Put simply, I am selective about the weddings I say yes to. With little advertising, many couples now come through word of mouth referrals from previous clients and carefully selected high quality wedding vendors.<\/div>\n
