July saw us photograph the wedding of Caleb and Michelle just outside of Windsor, North West of Sydney.

The ceremony was held under a huge gum tree at the Australiana Pioneer Village witnessed by their closest family and friends. The reception was held in a rustic wool shed and the street of the 1800's-esque village.

These two were made for each other. The love Caleb and Michelle expressed to each other, their two beautiful boys and their family was contagious. Both the day and night were filled with plenty of joy and laughter. 

It was an honour to have had the opportunity to photograph the big day. Thank you both for entrusting me with capturing your special day.

Enjoy this sneak peek....

The pines were planted in the early 1920’s and have been left to grow untouched for almost one hundred years. I have seen a handful of photos from friends that visited the forest, and now not even my photos can do this place justice!

We decided to take a long weekend off to explore the Snowy Mountains. We left Sydney late on a Friday night and took the five and a half hour drive to Laurel Hill with the intention of sleeping in the car for a few hours to catch the sunrise through the pines.

It wasn’t hard to find, signs along the road point you on the right direction for the turn off. 100m down the dirt road, on the right, you will see a small carpark. This is the start of the 400m walking path. 

When we arrived, it was pitch black and freezing cold. We found a secluded part of the forest, close to the walking track and pulled in for a few hours’ sleep. Unfortunately there was a bit of cloud cover blocking out the stars.
