There are weddings where the details are beautiful simply because they’re beautiful — and then there are weddings where almost everything seems to have a story behind it. Jen and Wade’s wedding at The Church Events Venue in Rockhampton was definitely the latter. Family history was woven throughout their day, from old wedding photographs of […]

There’s something pretty special about a wedding that involves catching a ferry to work! Phil and Tab’s Great Keppel Island wedding was a beautiful, intimate celebration with just 15 of their closest family and friends. There was no bridal party, and their children played some of the most important roles of the day. It was […]

Kirsty and Lindsay’s Clermont wedding was one of my favourites this year. With vows beside the weir, gum trees overhead and Kirsty arriving on her horse, there was plenty to love about this afternoon. They said their vows on the bank beneath the gum trees, just as the sun started to drop. And Kirsty arrived […]

I recently listened to a podcast interview with photographer John Dolan, and something he said really stayed with me. He spoke about imperfect wedding photos — and how those are often his favourite images. Not the technically flawless ones or the carefully lit portraits, but the photos that hold feeling. The ones that show what […]

When couples start planning their wedding, one of the most common things they say is that they want the day to feel relaxed. Not rushed, not overly staged — just enjoyable, comfortable, and present. From a photographer’s perspective, a relaxed wedding day isn’t about everything running perfectly. It’s about how the day is paced, how […]

Wondering how to choose a wedding photographer? There’s more to consider than loving a certain style or look. This is the person who will be alongside you for much of the day, so feeling comfortable, relaxed and understood matters. Whether you’re planning your wedding in Rockhampton, Mackay or elsewhere in Central Queensland, look for someone […]

How Much Wedding Photography Coverage Do You Actually Need? One of the most common questions couples ask when planning their wedding photography is:“How many hours of coverage do we need?” It’s a fair question — but it’s not always the most helpful way to think about wedding photography. Rather than starting with a set number […]

Rural wedding photography in Queensland has taken me from family properties around Roma to the riverbanks outside Longreach and stations near Jundah. There’s something special about photographing a wedding somewhere that already means so much to the couple. Home in the Heart of the Bush I grew up on a cattle property—and it’s still home […]

Erica and Doug’s wedding at the Wellshot Hotel in Ilfracombe, near Longreach, brought me west for a day that felt very much like them. I always enjoy photographing weddings out that way—the welcoming people, wide-open skies and places with plenty of character. Erica and Doug chose a very special venue for their big day: the […]

A Relaxed Start to Your Wedding Journey Engagement shoots are one of my favourite parts of being a photographer, and I’m often asked why they’re so important. The answer is simple: they provide the perfect opportunity to build a connection, calm any nerves about being in front of the camera, and have some fun together. […]
