Here are the rest of the images from Yael and Simon’s beautiful Autumn wedding from Coonara Springs in Olinda. Soon I’ll be working with Yael again to photograph her amazing range of knit wear she designs for a promotional catalogue, which I am really looking forward to and I wish her success with the project. I’m especially proud of these images from myself and my talented second shooter and wife Belinda, and I thank Yael and Simon for giving me the opportunity to photograph their wedding. At the end of the post are all the local vendors that provided a service for this amazing wedding which contributed to the true Mount Dandenong charm.
Last weekend I had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Zoe and Ryan at ever beautiful Inglewood Estate in Kangaroo Ground, Victoria. The weather held out and didn’t rain on the parade fortunately, giving us the opportunity to shoot the formal part of the photography outside. It was only when everyone went inside for the party at the restaurant the heavens opened up a little. Lets say I got only a little wet when photographing the exterior of the venue. Enjoy some teaser photos until the full blog post in about five or six weeks. Stay tuned for the rest of Yael and Simon’s Autumn wedding in the coming days.
Last Saturday I had the pleasure of photographing the union between two amazing souls, Yael and Simon. The weather was perfect, the trees were full of colour and smiles were everywhere. Here is just a taste of some of the images taken on the day, stay tuned for a full blog post in a few weeks.
Earlier this year I had the opportunity to work with the ever talented Robb Duncan of Pixxil Photography at the wedding of Steph and Steve in Sorrento Victoria. The day was perfect, the setting was perfect, overall it was a great day for the ceremony at Sorrento Park followed by a party fuelled reception at the Baths Restaurant which was a lot of fun. Working as a second shooter I was taking images a little different from when I work as the primary photographer, it gives a slightly different perspective and more candid images than the main photographer on the day, which gives you that extra something for your photobook or album. MV Photography offers the service of an additional hired professional photographer to any of the packages in the pricing guide.
I hope you enjoy the images.
Enjoy the rest of the images from Nicole and Billy’s amazing Phillip Island and San Remo Wedding. It was an absolute joy to be with you guys and your very cool bridal party on your special day!
The boys crack the first drink of the day
The rings kept safe in their boxes
The tie goes on
Mum sees her boy all dresses up
The boys all ready to go and looking snazzy
I wonder what Nicole is thinking here?
The girls having a laugh before heading out to the ceremony
Seeing her husband to be for the first time today
Awwwww
The proof!
Coloured paper explosion
The ceremony is done!
The light was nice and soft under the bridge, away from the still high sun
On Saturday March 5th I had the privilege of photographing Nicole & Billy’s wedding on Phillip Island and the reception in San Remo at the exquisite SilverWater Resort. You may remember the first Engagement Session I have ever photographed with them in January. I couldn’t imagine a day with better weather, it was 19 degrees, very lightly clouded with a gentle sea breeze. The day went without a hitch, everything happened on time, there were no wardrobe malfunctions and we had a great afternoon of amazing locations for the photography. Congratulations to Nicole and Billy, Belinda and I wish you all the best for the future. Be sure to keep an eye on the blog and the Facebook page to see more images of this fantastic wedding.

I often get asked ‘How do you do that?’ when I show someone a picture with off camera flash, and of course I am more than happy to oblige as I love to talk camera geekery. I have always been keen on off camera flash, I have practiced it a little bit at home, but I don’t claim I’m a guru on the subject, I just love to have fun with different photographic techniques. In this article I’ll talk about the vision I had for the photograph, the trial and error, the equipment and technique as well as the retouching on a series of images I took with the awesome Nicole and Billy. More after the jump (Click on the title).
A perfect day for the outdoor ceremony
I had the opportunity recently to second shoot for well known Victorian Wedding Photographer Robb Duncan of Pixxil Photography down in Sorrento. The couple could not have asked for a better day, as the weather was fantastic and enjoyed by all the guests at this relaxed garden wedding in Sorrento Park. Hopefully soon we’ll see some more images of this fantastic wedding which was a pleasure to shoot.
Also coming soon is a ‘How To’ article on a recent Engagement Photo Shoot I did recently, which will show how I tackled some portraits with Off Camera Flash on location.

A couple of snap shots I took on route to see family near Castlemaine, Victoria. The one on the left was just on the side of the road near the Taradale Viaduct and the one on the right in the main drag of Chewton. I’d be happy if anyone can tell the type of flower it pictured.
Taken with Canon EOS50D and Sigma 50mm f1.4 lens, handheld.
Nicole and Billy were the lucky couple to be test subjects for my first Engagement Session in one of favourite spots to shoot, St Kilda. The weather was near perfect, not too cold, not blaring sun, just overcast with a strong sea breeze. Here is a small selection of images taken on the day, just click on the thumbnails to view larger.
A big thanks goes out to Nicole and Billy and my ring in assistant for the day Travis. Fun was had by all! Stay tuned for some Flash how too and some image critiques as well.
