25 Years of Fins

The delightful Steven Snow, celebrity chef and owner of Fin’s and his marvellous team including the beautiful sommelier Morgan Snow recently celebrated 25 years of serving amazing award winning sustainable seafood, and I was invited down to help celebrate and capture the day alongside my friend Mitchell Snow Photo.

The Function was held at their new venue “Estate By Fins” set amidst a lush tropical fruit plantation with breathtaking panoramic views of Mt Warning. It was an amazing day full of wonderful food cooked and prepared by Luke Mangan, Geoff Lindsay, John Fink and Steven himself.

Victoria Rose

I am very privileged to have such extraordinarily talented and beautiful friends, one of which is Victoria Rose. She is a magnificent tattoo artist at Tailor Made Tattoo in Woolloongabba in Brisbane. I was fortunate enough to be able to take a few portrait shots of her for an exhibition she had with Sailor Jerry not long ago!

Tom & Ellie’s Wedding

| Natalie

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

What an excellent time, the girls were all fabulous and the makeup was amazing!

Britt & Matt’s Engagement

| Natalie

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!

Pin Up Bingo!

| Natalie

My team and I at Retro Bomb Magazine teamed up with Taps Australia recently to put on a swinging pin up bingo event to help raise much needed funds for the wonderful guys at Mates4Mates who support current and ex-serving Australian Defence Force members (and their families) who have physical or psychological wounds, injuries or illnesses as a result of their service. Cool cats West Texas Crude were sweet enough to come down and entertain us with their rad music, and the lovely Chris Richards was DJ for the afternoon and gave us plenty of laughs! Thanks to all those who turned up, had fun and donated their time or hard earned money! x
