Boathouse Canberra Wedding

Simone and Matt’s wedding day was nothing short of magical. After getting ready at home with their families, we all met at the Angel of the North Statue at the NGA Sculpture Gardens for their First Look where Matt saw Simone for the first time. He looked like he could barely hold back tears. We had a great time exploring the gardens and incredible buildings around the NGA to the tune of Frank Sinatra.

Intimate micro wedding at HQ Thirty Four Canberra / Mickey and Aaron

Mickey and Aaron had their wedding date fall in the tricky Canberra lockdown period at the end of September 2021. Instead of postponing like many couples did during this time, they decide to redesign their day and have an intimate wedding of 10 guests - a ‘microwedding’.

HQ Thirty Four was the perfect space for the occasion, and what a treat it was to spend some time there capturing the love between the couple and their families.

Venue // HQ Thirty Four in Fyshwick

Naked Cubby / Breakfast with Dinny

Earlier in the year I photographed the launch of Dinny - a new addition to the Naked Cubby Co. family at Mount Majura winery. It was a cosy breakfast amongst the vines, featuring some of Canberra’s awesome local businesses - Three Mills bakery had their incredible pastries and were making damper rolls over a fire pit; Redbrick coffee were pouring their best blends; Mount Majura winery were keeping everyone’s glasses topped up with their sparkling; and Tea Garden ran tea tasting and a tea blending workshop.

Dinny, of course, was the star of the show. A solar powered and self contained ‘tiny home’ with the most luxurious and stylish finishes. I’m keen to have a staycation here when this lockdown situation improves. The toddler is not invited.

Senate Rose Gardens / Evie and Rob Small Wedding

At the start of a beautiful Canberra Autumn, Rob and Evie tied the knot at the gorgeous rose gardens at the grounds of Old Parliament House, surrounded by a close knit group of family and friends. They had a beautifully intimate reception at Lamsheds restaurant in Yarralumla (by the way, that place is just incredible, I booked a table for date night the next week before I left!)

Scroll to the bottom of the post for a list of the wonderful vendors from the day.

White Gold- Beauty Editorial

For an awesome 6 months before Liam was born, we had an incredible makeup artist (and amazing musician) as a housemate. On the rare occasions where we were both free on the same weekend, we loved planning simple shoots at home. This was one of them.

It takes experience and skill to do the minimalist ‘no makeup makeup’ look, and great artistry to incorporate a pop of interest (e.g. gold foil on lids, bright yellow shadow, blue eyeliner) without it looking out of place. Vendulka is a wizard!

Model // Zoe Elena

Makeup // Vendulka

To achieve a similar look in your editing, check out my Lightroom presets ‘White Gold’. (for look #2 with the gold foil eye makeup) and ‘Glass’ for the first indoor set).

Mountaintop portraits: Jeremy & Erin

Last weekend I photographed Jeremy and Erin at Booroombra Rocks- in Namadgi National Park. Can you believe that this is only an hour’s drive from Canberra’s city centre? This is one of the reasons I love living in Canberra.

We hiked up to the top - through a slippery snow covered trail, to catch that magical mountaintop golden hour, and what a treat it was!
