A little glimpse into The Immanuel's magical day o

A little glimpse into The Immanuel's magical day on Sunday- a few favorites in no particular order.

After meeting Peter on a clifftop a million miles away from anywhere, and helping convince his lovely girlfriend Jess that we were a 'Landscape Photographer from Tasmania ™️', then the capturing the cutest proposal ever, to this incredible day approx 73 weeks later. Whattttt a journey!

We're absolutely honoured to follow along with our couples from early days until the big day- it's something that we truly appreciate and value so, so much.

We're big on getting to know our people and what matters most to them. It's definitely a little different from the norm, but we'd rather not be strangers on such an important day in your story.

We've had the pleasure of adventuring with these two (and discovering Peter's love of a good tree), location scouting (with Jess carrying their spoilt but deserving child Minnie along the whole way in a shoulder bag), late night and early morning runsheet planning, to venue scouting and getting an early preview to their incredible first dance a few days before the big day.

We knew that time together, and time with family was oh so important to these two, and we are acutely aware of the impact photography can have on your day. We hope we can help you to be present when it counts, and give you the memories of moments that happened when you were swept up in the magic of it all.

Thanks for trusting us Peter and Jess, we can't wait to see where your journey takes you ❤️✨

Some favourites in colour from Mazz and Anthony's

Some favourites in colour from Mazz and Anthony's absolute riot of a party!

A lesson in crafting a day filled with things you'll actually enjoy doing ✨

When chatting with these two gems we knew the day would be focussed on good times with their mates and fam', time together in the hotel before the event kicked off, champagne and dancing.

We'll always come back to this, but:

Good times = nice photos. It's a simple but often overlooked equation.

Also we never worked it out, but it also involved one of those trolleys you put luggage on. What are those even called? Any hot tips?

A little window into the most beautiful day with o

A little window into the most beautiful day with our friends Sam and Sean, who crafted a relaxed, intimate day at @montdusoleil .

The day was focussed around a cosy sunlit ceremony overlooking the property, with just their VIPs, followed by champagne, cake and some portraits in the beautiful mansion.

We joined them for pizza and cocktails in town, and then headed back to the property to cruise around on their vintage bike, watching the moon rise on the balcony.

Honestly! Such a dreamy day! With a big ol' party the following week, we think this is the way to do it!

P.s best part about our work is making new pals who are much, much cooler than we are!

Suuuuuupeer excited to announce (a little late of

Suuuuuupeer excited to announce (a little late of course) that one of our photos was selected in the top 15 finalists for the International Wedding Photographer of the Year awards, in the Dancefloor category! @iwpotyawards

This shot was a super special moment taken by Andy during Tina and Tony's first dance, at the beautiful @fiormelbourne . During a first dance we love to shoot multiple ways, playing with available light and added lighting. Being able to experiment as a duo is truly one of our favourite parts of working together! Sometimes the safety shot is needed, but often the experimental moment is what truly adds to a gallery. We hope this image captured not just how it looks, but how it feels in the moment.

Thank you to the @iwpotyawards and sponsors, and congratulations to the winners and other finalists!

And to Andy, thanks for always going rogue even when I'm stressing. You're amazing ✨

Ending our 2024 with an absolutely delightful surp

Ending our 2024 with an absolutely delightful surprise with A+S this week. It was such a treat to be a part of this moment (swipe across to see the surprise awaiting Samantha on this beautiful little private beach!).

We've been reflecting on what a beautiful year 2024 has been, and how many amazing memories we've had the privilege of capturing.

We've also been chatting about our fave moments, and what we take from each day. As much as we love the creative elements of our work, we're people-people first and foremost. We truly care about your experience on a day, as well as the experience of those around you. Chatting to your family, bonding with the other vendors on your day (AKA new pals), helping a guest out in a pinch or shuffling your timeline to make the most out of a little unforseen hiccup. Your experience is number one, and the more we shoot the more we keep drilling further into this. We don't take lightly the impact we can have on your day, and most importantly, how you remember it.

We've been so lucky to work with some absolutely amazing couples, and, turns out that lovely people are often surrounded by even more lovely people! Thanks for a beautiful year everyone! Wishing everyone a lovely holiday season from us to you and yours ✨
