I’m a Lover of Creativity, Very VERY Early mornings, and swinging for the fences.

I’d love to tell you that I first picked up a camera when I was one year old and won my first Pulitzer prize for photography when I was three and have always known this is what I wanted to do with my life, but that’s not the case. I’m no prodigy.

For one reason, I first found my way into photography in my early twenties. I was working a desk job I hated, and while I had great friends and a beautiful family, I noticed nothing was exciting or beautiful anymore. I HAD LOST A LOVE FOR LIFE THAT I’D HAD IN MY EARLIER YEARS. AFTER SOME INTROSPECTION, I PUT IT ON MYSELF. IF YOU DON’T change something, nothing changes.

This small decision pushed me to pick up a camera to try and force myself to look for the beauty in life. I knew it was out there, I just wasn’t seeing it. This time of my life coincided with meeting Jarred Eid(Our Melbourne Photographer) who was photographing weddings at the time, and he invited me along to see how I liked it.

After experiencing my first wedding, It dawned on me that the beauty I was looking for wasn’t in landscapes or Products, but in the love between two people. Seeing couples fall in love, and watching them celebrate that love with their family and friends is one of the purest joys people can share. It’s a day in which people will drop everything in their lives to be present and be a part of. They take a moment out of life to say ‘I’ve Found the one my soul was made for', and I want to celebrate it with everyone I know.

People put their hearts and souls into their wedding days. They plan every detail, right down to the colour of the cutlery, because each couple knows that finding real, true love is worth honouring and celebrating with the deepest passion and reverence. People swing for the fences on their wedding day, because THAT'S what their love deserves.

That is pure, unadulterated beauty, right there.

Nothing excites me more than being able to open the door and witness this love. Each is as unique as the last, we collect these stories as a library, and just like every book, these stories, move and change us, and for me, they remind me what’s most important in life.
