I had the wonderful honour of sharing Jacqueline and Jarrod’s wedding day with them in Sorrento. Everything about the day was absolutely perfect!
It is easy to see why Jarrod could not keep his eyes off his beautiful bride.
And the girls made me realise I better go see Bridesmaids (the movie)!
A beautiful day with blue skies after a week of rain was granted Zacc and Kim on their wedding day. Everything on the day went absolutely perfectly. The hardest part is choosing the photos to post! We started with a small session with Kim getting ready at home.
The ceremony was held at the beautifully serene Daly Waters Rose Farm. The little white chapel was gorgeous, with roses blooming everywhere on the grounds.
The reception at Barmah Park Winery was fabulous. Zacc’s brother-in-law did a fantastic job as the master of ceremonies. The groom also surprised his new wife with a song!

Just wanted to share some more photos from the wonderful wedding. Rasika had such adorable shoes!
She was SO gorgeous!
I have been scarce lately. Lots of deadlines all seemed to come at the same time. We have moved all our things from our previous house to the new one, but everything is still in boxes. (I am desperately seeking my dustbin!) Cleaning the old place has eaten into all our spare time. Another few days and my portfolio needs to be finished and printed. After all this rush, it will be weird having some free time!
In the midst of my chaos, I got the opportunity to photograph a gorgeous couple on their wedding day. It was a beautiful, bright day, with not a drop of rain after days of pouring skies. Rasika was absolutely breathtaking in her traditional dress for the ceremony, after which she changed into a different gown for the reception (which was just as gorgeous!).
At the ceremony, they lit a traditional Sri Lankan lantern. This moment was captured so beautifully by my colleague James (from Ligero Photography).
Reece and Rasika are a beautiful, spontaneous couple that complement each other wonderfully. It was such a pleasure to photography them!
These two are going to have such a fabulous future!
There is a processing technique a lot of photographers use when processing their photos. I thought to play around with it a bit, using photos from a wedding I did. It brings out the details in the images and makes it feel a little like a drawing.
As you can see, it really brings out details like embroidery on a wedding dress.
Do you think this kind of processing works? Is it something you would like?
These two cousins were just too adorable as flower girls. Jumping full of energy still at the end of the day. I love the portraits I captured of them.

And they kept smiling all day!
When I was at school, the word to use was ‘cool’. Apparently the word these days is ‘fierce’. Well, I don’t quite get it yet (my age is showing I guess!), but I think Shiann really rocked the photo shoot because she really looks fierce!
I think ‘fierce’ works here, don’t you?
This is a busy week since classes are starting again, a week early. I have Sunday School lessons to prepare for the next few weeks too.
We started the formal photos with the flower girls. They had been so good all day, we wanted to give them a chance to go play. And they just posed beautifully! I love these moments between 'formal’ poses, catching a look between a couple in love, little girls dreaming of their future…
The intimate ceremony was held in the gorgeous little chapel at Bram Leigh. Shiann’s lovely mother walked her down the aisle. The relationship between the two of them is extremely special.
The celebrant, Paul Cochran , led the ceremony with lots of humour and tender moments remembered.
It was a day filled with so much happiness!
More images on Facebook, I will share the formal portraits tomorrow
