I was gifted with a wedding in Alice Springs. All that red dirt, rugged green, and wide open space has a mesmerising beauty. There is a special kind of magic in the air; a magic often infused with dust, flies and heat. In short, it’s complex, but what we have is definitely true love.
Mr + Mrs Proctor
I met Merrin and Cameron last year. I could tell right off the bat they were legends. They pulled together a food van, street party wedding on the road of Cameron's family home. It does happen to have one of, if not the best, view in Darwin.
sophie + scotty: mount bundy
A decade ago my sister made friends with this legend of a woman, who soon found this legend of a man. Their wedding took place at Mt Bundy Station; a nexus of deadly Territory outback and station charm, including a bull that likes to be patted, and join you by the campfire. The outback life brought on an insatiable thirst in the guests, and the wedding of the century ensued....
kira + sam
The wedding of Kira to Sam was so beautiful; a ceremony in the botanical gardens and the reception in their family home. The house was hand crafted by Kira's Dad, and brought up to scratch with the blood, sweat and tears of Kira and Sam in the months before the big day.
On the day, Kira was so organised that she was ready 2 hours before she needed to leave to the ceremony, everyone stumbled over her multi syllable name in the vows, she climbed into a tree to be taller than her husband and let her dogs climb on her wedding dress when she arrived home.
annie + joel
The wedding of Annie to Joel was so beautiful.
When I started doing wedding photography, my Mum told me that I would end up crying in the vows. Not me, I thought, I'm too tough. This one nearly put me over the edge. I said nearly.
CAMERON + LOREN (HUNTER VALLEY)
After ten years, and two kids, Loren and Cameron decided on a wedding in the Hunter Valley. I was invited as a guest, so I took my camera as a date so I could document the day for them. It was an absolutely beautiful day and the speeches were second to none, I was laughing so hard I could barely take photos. Here is a selection of my favourite photos from the day. Warning: despite my best intentions, this did not end up being a small selection.
