A country wedding in beautiful Orange. The country put on a glorious day for the wedding of Reanna & Tristan. This couple and the close friends that surrounded them were in great spirits – simply enjoying the chance to celebrate the union of the happy couple. I’m sure Tristan had a few people wondering what the huge sword was for, but all became obvious when it was time to cut the cake. A fantastic day had by all from start to finish.

Congratulations Reanna & Tristan – may you live a long and happy life together…

Well, moustache season has drawn to a close, some say for the better. Thank you to everyone that contributed/donated and helped us raise money in aid of mens health. I was participating as part of team Mo Pega of Pegasystems (the Australian contingent). Together we raised over $5000 including a healthy contribution from Pegasystems. I was excited to have the opportunity to do a portrait session with the participants from the Sydney office on the final day before we pulled out the razors. I think I can safely say the guys had a bit of fun with it.

What is Movember?

It was a beautiful spring afternoon out at Tench Reserve in Penrith for the session with the extended Hartog family. They were great – really into the spirit of it, everyone seemed be having a really good time and I think the photos turned out pretty good too…

In the spirit of the UN International Day of Older Persons, SDN Riverwood (Child care centre) held a Morning Tea for grandparents. This was a chance for grandparents to get a tour of their grandchild’s room, hear about their friendships, investigations and learning experiences.

I was there this morning to setup a photo booth so that I could take photos of the grandparents and their children on the day. It was a great experience and I was pleased to be a part of it. The result of which was the gallery of photos available for family to download or print.

Reanna & Tristan are getting married next month in the country, so we took this opportunity to photograph them prior to the big day around the city.

I shot this image of Marcus for a Christening invitation…

Last weekend we went out to Carrs Park for this family shoot of Nicole, Brad and Gabrielle. The weather in the afternoon turned out to be quite stunning. Nicole is my cousin and she does quite a bit to help out our family, so I was very pleased to be able to do this shoot for them.

Little Dominic is just over a year old now and is exploring the world on his feet with a little help from mum & dad. He is such a happy little boy and has a beautiful and gentle character. We got to be friends pretty quickly after meeting. I know Tom & Nadege from a few years back when I was the photographer at their wedding. It was great to see them now starting to take on the next phase of their life and are obviously extremely proud parents – enjoying every minute. I was honoured when Tom thought of me when it came time to capture this important time.
