Natascha & Ty’s Sioux Binding Ceremony

So here’s part two!

So, along with eloping down at Belongil Beach in Byron Bay, Tash and Ty decided to have a Sioux binding ceremony and include their family and friends in the celebration of their love. Ty’s mother is an Elder of the Oglala Tribe, which is part of the Sioux Nation, she also performed the ceremony, which was amazing and beautiful to watch and be a part of.

Here’s where it gets cooler.. Tash is Chilean, and the wedding had a Mexican twist! What a party!!

I love you Tash and Ty, thank you so much for letting me be a part of both of your big, beautiful and unique days!

Tom & Ellie’s Wedding

Shooting this wedding was extremely special to me, as I have known Elouise since we were 1 and a half years old, my oldest friend.

In February I was flown down to Adelaide to photograph their wedding which was held in beautiful Strathalbyn South Australia, at Watervilla House. What a perfect location!

This was ultimately one of the best, most organised and beautiful weddings I have ever had the pleasure of attending. I arrived at 9.30am and left at 11.30pm that night and had a blast every second I was there.

I laughed, I cried and I danced whilst taking photos of guests enjoying their evening!

It had it all.

Congratulations Tom and Ellie Doyle, you make a fantastic couple. Love you both x

Britt & Matt’s Engagement

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing this couple for many years now, and couldn’t have been more delighted when they asked me to take photos at their engagement party! A great time was had by all.

I can’t wait to photograph their wedding in July!

Opening of Taps Surfers Paradise

Back in August last year, Taps extended their “Pour Your Own Beer”franchise to Surfers Paradise. I, luckily enough was invited to photo-document the fantastic event!

They had a magician, artists, a barber doing free slick haircuts, DJ’s, giant jenga, beer pong and even a Mortal Kombat arcade machine! Oh.. and how could I forget, amazing beer and food!
