Lee & Steve | Swallowfield Vineyard Wedding

When I heard that Lee and Steve had chosen Swallowfield Vineyard in Gembrook as the venue for their wedding, I was thrilled that they had asked me to be their wedding photographer. Not only is Swallowfield Vineyard my absolute favourite location for a country style wedding, Lee and Steve are so much fun to be around!

They were married by Celebrant, Mark Nunis, surrounded by family and friends, with Steve’s sister Lara being the ring barer.

Lee had her sister Rach as her bridesmaid, which made for a barrel of laughs as Rach is a bit of a comedian. Steve’s best man Greg, was also up for a bit of fun, especially when it came to having his bright yellow Monaro in some of the photos.

The happy couple were very relaxed as we moved to each of the spots at the vineyard, enjoying their wedding day, even having a bit of a run with the cows.

As always, Swallowfiled Vineyard turned on it’s beauty to enable us to get some fantastic shots.

Here’s just a taste of Lee and Steve’s wedding…

Levi and Elyse | Newborn Photography

August 28th, 2012

Some of you may have head about my cousin Elyse, who at 28 weeks of her pregnancy, was involved in a terrible car accident that saw her rushed to hospital with a shattered pelvis and the health of her unborn baby unknown. Her baby, a little boy, had to be delivered as a result of [...]
 

Some of you may have head about my cousin Elyse, who at 28 weeks of her pregnancy, was involved in a terrible car accident that saw her rushed to hospital with a shattered pelvis and the health of her unborn baby unknown. Her baby, a little boy, had to be delivered as a result of the accident.

Born 12 weeks early, and weighing little more than 1200g, little Levi was facing the fight of his life; to stay alive. Brave and strong, just like his beautiful mum, Levi spent the first couple of months of his life in the NICU at the Royal Women’s Hospital in Melbourne, while Elyse was in a different hospital, The Royal Melbourne, trying to get well herself.

It was a long haul for Elyse, Ben, Addison and Levi, and all of her family who were courageous as each day meant a day closer to Elyse and Levi being able to go home.

That day finally came, when Levi was 9 weeks old (Elyse would have still been 37 weeks pregnant).

Here are some images of Elyse and Levi taken during those first couple of weeks home (and a couple from those first few days in NICU).

Such an inspirational Mum and baby <3

Engagement Session | Portrait Photographer Melbourne

August 28th, 2012

A few months back I met Daniel and Georgina. Daniel lives in Melbourne, Georgina lives in Canberra. Georgina had flown down to Melbourne for the weekend and was told that she was being taken somewhere secret. That secret was a photo shoot that Daniel had arranged with me, to celebrate their recent engagement. Daniel’s brief [...]
 

A few months back I met Daniel and Georgina. Daniel lives in Melbourne, Georgina lives in Canberra.

Georgina had flown down to Melbourne for the weekend and was told that she was being taken somewhere secret. That secret was a photo shoot that Daniel had arranged with me, to celebrate their recent engagement.

Daniel’s brief for me was that it had to be colourful – not a problem given my favourite locations that are nearby my studio.

Thought I’d share a few shots with you!

Dean | Eastern Suburbs Newborn Photographer

August 28th, 2012

I met little Dean recently, who was a tiny 6 pounds. The perfect age for a newborn photo shoot, Dean was a very new 11 days old and proved to be a little angel, blissfully unaware that he was being moved around throughout the session. I can’t get over his gorgeous long eyelashes, they would [...]

I can’t get over his gorgeous long eyelashes, they would make any girl green with envy!

Here are a few of my favourites that show off his tiny features (don’t forget to check out those lashes!!!).

Baby Sai | Melbourne Newborn Photographer

August 15th, 2012

I had a gorgeous little family come to see me a couple of weeks ago. Sai, who was just 15 days old, slept throughout the whole session! He was more than happy to be moved around and seemed oblivious to the fact that he was having his photo taken. We managed to capture some stunning [...]
 

I had a gorgeous little family come to see me a couple of weeks ago. Sai, who was just 15 days old, slept throughout the whole session! He was more than happy to be moved around and seemed oblivious to the fact that he was having his photo taken.

We managed to capture some stunning family photos of Sai and his parents, along with his grandparents who are visiting from Singapore.

Thought I’d share a few of my favourites from Sai’s newborn photography session.

Kristy and Noah chose Tatra Receptions in Mount Dandenong as the venue for their Winter wedding. With only a light sprinkling of rain just as the ceremony was about to start, Melbourne turned on a beautiful Winters day for the happy couple.

Surrounded by family and friends, Kristy was walked down the aisle by her father, who stepped out of his wheel chair to very proudly give her away. It was a beautiful ceremony, conducted by Kristy’s Uncle, Pastor Allan Herman, in the warm Chapel in the grounds of Tatra.

Kristy was dressed in a beautiful ivory satin gown, her bridesmaids wore stunning gowns in graduated silver and charcoal, while Noah and his groomsmen dressed in grey pinstripe suits.

Here a few images from Kristy and Noah’s Winter wedding at Tatra.
