Kirrily & Jesse- Blue Mountains Sunset Shoot
Kirrily and Jesse are the sweetest pair. I first met Kirrily through the creative community in Canberra- she is a talented model and actress (check her out on instagram- @kirrilynoble) and we had worked together on an editorial. I spent an incredible afternoon wandering around Lincoln's Rock in the Blue Mountains with Kirrily and her husband Jesse earlier in the year.
Gem & Dax: Yarralumla Sunset Portraits
Spent a sweet evening with these two ladies last Friday. I find it really touching and encouraging when I see couples that truly love each other and it's so nice to see the genuine connection come through in the photos.
Shoutout to Garry Chiu who helped me with the smoke bombs and good vibes.
You may have seen Gem (Devojka Models) in some of my previous work- (Bonbon, Downtown Sundays) .
Sandra & Daniel: Fitters' Workshop Wedding Canberra
Sandra and Daniel got married at St Gregory's Church in Queanbeyan and then had their reception at The Fitters' Workshop in Kingston. I felt honoured to spend the day with them and their closest friends from the start of the day while they were getting ready, to the beautiful ceremony, exploring forests in Piallago with the bridal party, and then joining in the celebrations at the Fitters' Workshop.
Sarah and Kaya's National Gallery of Australia wedding
Sarah and Kaya had their beautiful wedding at the National Gallery of Australia, surrounded by 200 or so adoring family and friends. This is how I saw the day unfold...
Botanical Gardens Maternity Session: Avleen and Dev
Avleen and Dev are expecting their first child and I was honoured to be asked to document this precious time in their lives. Avleen wanted to explore the Botanical Gardens in Canberra, so we made our way there last weekend and walked around the gorgeous lush rainforest and spent the hour before sunset at the rock garden area of the Botanical Gardens.
My second shoot at the Rainforest in this month! Gorgeous spot.
Sarah and Kaya: Stromlo Observatory Engagement
A couple of weekends back Sarah, Kaya, and I explored Mount Stromlo for their engagement shoot. I could not have asked for a more beautiful Autumn day with clear skies and beautiful soft light at sunset. The old observatory and nearby buildings are some of my favourite places to visit and shoot, and we found a little forest a few hundred meters away just as the sun went down.
We also did some fun photos with their 2 dachshunds around a nearby park beforehand. Challenging to get them both looking at the camera at the same time! Such frenetic energy!
Can't wait for their wedding later in the year.

Leah & Rael: NGA Sculpture Garden Wedding
Leah and Rael had their wedding ceremony at National Gallery of Australia's Sculpture Garden. It was an intimate gathering of a small group of family from the UK - I felt honoured to be part of capturing such a special day.
I love the National Gallery of Australia because there are so many beautiful areas for portraits, some of them tucked away in secret little nooks. After the ceremony Leah, Rael, and I went for a bit of a walk and explore, with lots of portraits on the way.
Engagement Portraits: Katrin + Nicholas
I had the pleasure of photographing this awesome couple on the weekend. Getting people to relax in front of the camera can sometimes be the most challenging part of taking portraits, but there were no problems getting some natural smiles from these two- Nicholas had Katrin in stitches for most of the shoot!
Such a fun couple, I am imagining a future filled with lots of happiness and Homer Simpson jokes.
