Dasha & Simon’s – Engagement shoot
Since most of my Port Douglas brides and grooms are from somewhere other than Port Douglas, I thought while on a recent trip south I’d catch up with Victorian couple Simon and Dasha. Dasha had sent through some example pics a few weeks earlier so I could get an idea for the style of photography they were hoping for for their November wedding. Gritty, b&w, natural , fun couple shots and glamorous bridal portraits.
We spent a couple of hours together near Hanging Rock in country Victoria and kept the whole session pretty loose, I was thinking gritty and b&w overall but at the end when the autumn light turned it on , we just had to show some color.
I’m spending a bit of time in Victoria of late and happy to shoot while I’m there. Contact me if you’re keen.
A Port Douglas Wedding – Kylie & Ryan
A bottle of Dom Perignon followed by seemingly endless Moet, Kylie & Ryan had an AMAZING, Port Douglas Wedding. These guys know how to have a good time, up beat all day long and sooo happy to be together, it was effortless. As you can see in the photo’s, they had a fantastic time together. Their beautiful ceremony was at St Mary’s By the Sea followed by an outdoor reception by the water on the deck of the historic Sugar Wharf.
I love this set of pics. Enjoy

Cairns & Port Douglas Wedding Photography – Stay tuned.
I don’t have any spare time at the moment, moving house, moving office. Albums to design, plenty of work to do. BUT the website is dated, I don’t love it anymore. So instead of sleep, I’m slowly plugging away at it.
The same but different is the way to go, a bit more info, MUCH better galleries and images, a new lease on life. Oh and this blog will no longer be hidden deep within it’s bowels , hopefully save me from the madness of talking to myself. ( I do wonder ?? If your out there say hi in the comments
)
Here’s a glimpse, but it will probably change, has about 4 times to date
oh and that image is a tasty little slideshow.

The Port Douglas Sugar Wharf. Lights please !!
The Port Douglas Sugar Wharf. It’s a beautiful open air all weather sunset location, it’s big enough for a Greek wedding and it’s far, far to cheap. But when it get’s dark, it becomes really difficult to photograph and still retain the beautiful ambience that gives the place it’s character. Lanterns, Candles, Wall washes, Fairy lights all that stuff ( especially the candles and the lanterns ). LIGHT IT UP !!!… Please, Please, Please !!! it’s worth it.
I really don’t like flash in the face photography, its a weapon, but if I have to I will.

Wedding Photographer , Port Douglas, The Wedding of Varonika & Alvar
Like most Port Douglas locals Varonika & Alvar are from somewhere other than Port Douglas. They’re from Astonia, which I know nothing about but from what they told me it sounds like the opposite to hot and tropical.
They came into the gallery to see me around a year and a half ago planning a small wedding on four mile beach in Port Douglas. It was to be witnessed by only a handful of close friends that they had made in their short time here. No problem, we organized an elopement package with some extra time for portraits and off they went.
The wedding was lovely. They were married on four mile beach in the late afternoon under a hand made bamboo and chiffon gazebo, both dressed in white, the light soft. Being the personalities they are, the photographs are fun and beautiful, I love them.
It was a while ago though and the package being only a very small one, I didn’t get a proper chance to go through and have a good look at what we had taken. It wasn’t until last week while organizing some wedding images and galleries for my new website ( up soon ) that I was able to fully sort through their wedding. WOW !! I also took the time to play with some subtly different color processing- What do you think ?
