You may remember Casey and Jon from such an epic engagement session with a classic Mercedes, which you can view here. Now it was time to capture the incredibly relaxed wedding out past Yarra Junction. Tell me about the beginning! We met at university (physio students, Jon the year below me), but only knew each other socially and didn't start dating until after I graduated. First time meeting each other was at the annual uni physio ball a couple years prior- clinked pot glasses and went our separate ways. A couple years later we got back in touch (who slid into who's dm's is a debate) and Jon ..read more

Tell me about the beginning! Danny and I are high school sweethearts and have been together since we were 16.

My assistant Nyssa got married! Nyssa has been my super amazing assistant for years now, as every each one of them always has a long standing relationship in the MVP team, because I recognise good talent when I see it. She is the second assistant that I have had over the years where I had the privilege of being there for them when it comes to the photography of their wedding day. That connection makes my job easier as they know what they will get with me on the day, what result they will get in their gallery and they also know how to pose to light too, which is super handy! Nyssa and Dulan are ..read more

I’ve actually known Joanne for probably going on 20 years, she is an ex-colleague from my previous career’s bestie and now bridesmaid, Nicole. The wedding with Lance was perfect for them, a small intimate gathering of no one but their closest loved ones in the tranquil Japanese Gardens at the Melbourne Zoo. We managed to get near exclusive access to most of the park as we had our shoot session around closing time for the public. We lucked out when we managed to get shots with a playful seal, Elephant, Giraffe and a curious Lion. Congratulations legends, even after a 20 year courtship, you are ..read more

Back to Carlton for Stephanie and Danny’s Engagement session, with perfect weather and the best lighting I have ever seen. I did scout the location a couple of days before, even though I have utilised the streets of Carlton and around the Imax theatre many times before, either for engagements sessions like Sophie & Owen’s or for weddings like Georgia and Jacob’s. Being a regular there, I always endeavour to bring something different each time and look for light first, which wins everytime. Boy, did it pay off. We just had the most magical reflective light everywhere we went. Reflecting off ..read more

Megan and Luke’s super fun wedding was not conventional in any way, and it was friggin perfect! Held at a music studio for one, we had a cool and different venue, filled with hundreds of candles (don’t worry, the fireproof ones), a singing/MC pizza chef (what a legend), a vinyl DJ, magic cocktails with all of their closest friends and family. Tell me about the beginning! I think the time we both went to "Jazz party" was the pivotal moment at the beginning of our relationship. Jazz Party was a club with only live bands playing jazz, funk, soul and ska. I had pursued Meg for weeks (possibly mon ..read more
