Just when I thought Australian politics would slide into the abyss of anti-gay wedding mediocrity, I’m pleasantly gob-smacked by the swift and decisive nature the “yes” vote took to manifest late last year. What a triumph! Love is love! Finally!!!! Now the party is over, its down to business. Wedding business. Australia voted and it […]

SWBCC Inaugural Gala Ball

Last Friday evening I had the pleasure of photographing the inaugural gala ball for the SWBCC (South West Bankstown Chamber of Commerce). The premier was there and she gave a unique Q&A style session rather than a long-winded speech which was a refreshing change. The Bankstown sports club was resplendent in its Gala regalia and […]

A mother’s tale

Yesterday would have been my Grandmother’s 101st birthday. Here she is with my Dad in Melbourne, 1949. Captured by a random street photographer, this is one of my favourite family photos.

MarieAnne & Lee’s Wedding – 27th March 2011

If I had to sum up in one word MarieAnne & Lee’s wedding on Sunday, it would be “FUN”. Everyone was so relaxed on the day, they couldn’t help but have a great time. The bridesmaids dresses were simply fabulous and MarieAnne’s gown was a vision in lace – simply stunning. Just in case anyone […]

Washington Family Portrait

A quick trip down from Bris Vegas and a Xmas voucher from Mum meant I had the delight of shooting Daniel & Cass last week out at Boat Harbour with their lovely daughter Chloe. Not to be outdone, Tango the Australian Bulldog tagged along and very nearly stole the show… “Sam, these photos are amazing, […]
