2011 was a busy year for me and 2012 is looking good! I put together this 5 minute video of some of my favorite images from weddings and other shoots I have done this year. It was a difficult task to get it down to five minutes! A big thank you to all my lovely brides and grooms, pregnant Mum’s and Dad’s and families I have photographed through out the year….it was my absolute pleasure to photograph every single one of you and capture these special moments in your lives. Thank you for trusting me with this important task. I am passionate about photography and so privileged that I can do something that I love so much as a full time job. Enjoy the video!

Recently I entered four images into the International Loupe Awards. There were over 2900 entries. I am very pleased with my results of 1 Silver Award and 3 Bronze Awards! The images are below and thank you to my lovely brides and grooms for allowing me to enter their images in the awards.
Vicky and Paul came with their kids all the way from New Zealand to be married on Four Mile Beach outside the Sheraton Mirage at Port Douglas. The ceremony was at 10.30 in the morning and they could not have chosen a better day! It was warm and sunny with a slight cooling breeze. Sarah Woods performed the ceremony with myself and Melanie, the hair and make-up artist acting as witnesses.
After the ceremony we took lots of photos walking on the beach with the kids, then moved into the shade for some nice family photos together.
It was such a nice, warm and sunny day that Vicky decided that it was the perfect time to go for a swim…in her wedding dress! We walked around the pool, not all 5 acres of it, but most of it, to find a deep spot for Vicky to take the plunge….and she did! The water looked so inviting! It was hard to keep the kids out of the pool in their good clothes!
Here are two of my favorite shots from Vicky and Paul’s wedding. Congratulations to Vicky and Paul and thank you for having me as your photographer! It was fun!
Veronica and Shawn were married by Natasha Kollosche at the stunning little seaside chapel, St Mary’s by the Sea, in Port Douglas, on Saturday 29th October at 3pm. Veronica looked gorgeous in her white wedding dress with her really cool purple sparkly shoes!
A group photo with flower shower in front of the Chapel was followed by family and friends photos in the shade next to the little chapel.
We headed down to the beach behind the chapel for some photos with the bridal party, then a few quick shots over by the Sugar Wharf. Then everyone piled into the super stretch for a trip out to the local rainforest timber bridge for a walk in the cool of the rainforest and some photos by the crystal clear running creek.
We made it back to Sea Temple Resort and Spa in time to start the reception at 5.30. I took photos of the venue set up by the pool and a mock cake cutting with Veronica and Shawn, before running away and leaving them to enjoy a great evening of fun and celebration with their family and friends!
Thank you for asking me to be your wedding photographer Veronica and Shawn, it was heaps of fun! Below are a few images from their wedding day and a video of highlights. You can also check out Veronica and Shawn’s on-line album to see some more photos from their wedding day.
Lani and Nathan’s couldn’t have chosen a nicer day to get married on four mile beach at Sea Temple Resort on the 16th October. The afternoon before we had big storms with lots of rain, but it all stayed away for Lani and Nathan’s wedding!
Sarah Woods performed a lovely ceremony which included readings from Nathan’s sister and Lani’s Dad. A group photo on the beach was followed by photos of family and friends with Lani and Nathan.
I took photos of Lani and Nathan on the beach, with some cartwheels performed by Nathans and his brother Aaron! Down to the sugar wharf for some photos as the sun was setting before heading back to Sea Temple for the reception.
Below are a few of my favorite images from Lani and Nathans’ wedding day. To see more photos check out their on-line album.

An absolutely glorious day for Shannae and Damian’s wedding at St Mary’s by The Sea in Port Douglas. The wedding was performed by Father Barry which included a hand tying ceremony.
A group photo which included a flower petal shower in front of the chapel was followed by photos with family and friends. We then had a walk along the beach and over to the sugar wharf for bridal party photos. Heading back to the reception we stopped at a crystal clear rainforest creek for an impromptu dip in the water! We only got our feet and legs wet, no trashing of the dress at this stage!
Shannae and Damian’s reception was held at Rainforest Estate Finalyvale near Mossman. What an amazing place! It is a photographers ideal location for taking photos with lots of light inside and lots of beautiful tropical gardens outside!
I stayed to photograph the cake cutting and we also took some photos of the house all lit up and some of Shannae and Damian by the pool and under a big gum tree.
Thank you to Shannae and Damian for asking me to be your wedding photographer! You were a dream to photograph and it was a fun day!
Below is a video of highlights from the day and some favorite shots. You may like to have a look at Shannae and Damian’s on-line album as well.
Little Cove next to Rex Smeal Park in Port Douglas was the location for Nicole and Dane’s 1pm wedding. Their ceremony was a lovely intimate one performed by Sarah Woods.
After the ceremony all of the guests gathered for a group photo with Dane and Nicole and their two gorgeous kids under a shady tree. Photos with family and friends followed, then it was off down to the beach for some photos of Dane and Nicole on their own.
We finished off under the big fig tree in the park, having chased 3 kids out of the tree to take some photos! Tree Tops Resort was the venue for Dane and Nicole’s reception, so we headed down there to take some more photos around the resort.
Thanks for asking me to be your wedding photographer Nicole and Dane it was a pleasure!
Below are some of my favorite shots along with a video from Nicole and Dane’s wedding day. You may also like to have a look at their on-line album.
Aletta and Chris were joined by family and friends at the Sheraton Mirage Port Douglas for their wedding inside the Crystal Chapel.
Aletta looked stunning! The ceremony was performed by Natasha Kollosche and included a lovely reading by Chris’ Dad and Aletta’s sister.
As they left the chapel Aletta and Chris were showered with flower petals and confetti! A group photo with all of their guests was followed by photos with family and friends. We then headed down to the beach front for some photos with the bridal party. Some more photos just out of town with just Aletta and Chris then it was back to the Sheraton for their reception at Il Pescatore Restaurant.
