Sally & Ben’s wedding at the historic Glen Davis Boutique Hotel, had a ton of charm. So much so that Sydney Bride Magazine couldn’t resist running a feature on their wedding story titled “Vintage Elegance”.
Click through to see the images, that Sydney Bride readers won’t…
Maddie & Brad are very cool cats. They are extemely nice people who enjoy being a bit random. So, true to who they are, my breif was to get some extremely nice images, as well as some that were a bit more random…
What a fantastic lot of photos so much fun good to see some of your new work Graham Awesome
Wow you photograph in story. I visited their wedding not just viewed ‘some pics of the day’. Great work
Elissa & Dan had both their ceremony & reception at Borrodell’s vinyard near Orange NSW. It’s a beautiful venue, and without going anywhere else, we were already still spolit for locations.
Wonderful photos, looks like this was a fun couple to work with. The groom with the umbrella is great! I agree with you, I like the sky shots in B&W as well.
When Allisa & Tyson first came in, they were undecided about whether or not to travel the 20 mins each way out to Tyson’s family farm (knowing this would make the shoot time tight), or just have their bridal party wedding photos in Forbes. I encouraged them to think about what they would most value, when they look back 20 years from now.
Here is some of the story of their day, as told by Allisa…
The photos taken on the day were second to none ! Many Thanks for the Memories ….
Garry
I love that looking through the shed door shot! Very different and very stylish!
I absolutely adore your work! Beautiful photographs. Love the sunsetting and the reflection of the bridal party. Gorgeous.
Wow, love the emotion in this set (the girls with the rice is awesome!). The lake shot is killer!
Your photographs are inspirational, really great. Love the shot of the brides maids in the mud :)
Marisa Magiros & Jason Groake were married & had their reception (complete with straw picnic blankets & hot gormet catered hampers) at “Rosemerrin” a small property near Millthorpe.
Here is the day, as told by Marisa. (Warning, lots of pics!)
Truely beautiful wedding photos! I loved all of the images in the field and in and around the shed. They looked like they all had a wonderful time.
Great work.

Love the images of the Vail, very very cute and truly memorable. The images in teh field are amazing, and your overhead shots are GREAT as well.
You are still the BEST by FAR, Graham. No one holds a candle to you that I can see.!
Hi Susan, thanks (I’m blushing)! It’s not everyday a photographer’s wife gives such strong praise to another photographer. Did you like the aerial shot? There are also some much higher/wider ones, but with Marisa wearing her pink gumboots!
Wow, those aerial shots are great, and totally unique! The photos are all fantastic, I love the one in front of the shed :)
Wow you really captured the fun of this wedding and did it with style. Truly unique.
Great pictures and coverage. I really like what you did with the lighting with the bridal couple in the barn, very “out of the box”. Thank you for sharing!

They say that behind every successful man, there’s a strong woman. If this is true, then Josh Scully is headed for the mountain tops. At long last, here are some of the photos from their wedding.
SLIDE SHOW
You did it again Grahame. Well Done on such beautiful, fun photos
Wow, Wow, Wow. After giving birth to my baby girl, i was told that the slide show was done.I was very excited to have a look. All i can say is it was well worth the wait. Not only can i see the artistic talent you have ( which puts you above the rest) the music chosen was unique. You had me in tears of joy as i was able to relive the day. It does not get old. i can watch it over and over and and it makes me relive it every time with such joy.Everywhere around the maternity ward was your work, you captured those little ones so beautifully.I was proud to say you were the one who did the photography for my wedding. Well done your work is very inspiring.
Thanks again
Jody Scully (bride)
~~~Just Gorgeous~~~
Amazing set of images. You don’t often see the groom breaking objects during the reception! Perfect timing as you captured the action.
Love the slideshow, all the emotions and moments were captured perfectly. Haven’t had a groom break anything outside of glasses and his self respect(dancing) at any of my receptions.
Great work I love the picture of the groom breaking wood.
Stunning couple !!!! Awesome work!!!
Tania & Garry were married 20 minutes west of Parkes in the restored church that Tania’s family had originally helped build. Afterwards there was time for a bridal party shoot in the country, before heading back into Parkes Golf Club for their reception.
Here are a few of Tania’s thoughts, and of course a few photos!
Awesome set of photos, so many that really grabbed me but I particularly love the shot of the bride and groom from above on the wood and the golden sky photo of the bride and groom shot from behind!
Tania is one of my dear friends and to see the gorgeous photo’s you’ve captured from her day is just wonderful! I’ve also seen the rest of the photos and I was absolutley speechless!! These photos are only the beginning of beautiful moments captured of a trully special day.
Hi Graham,
We are very happy with our photos, you managed to capture all the emotions and made our wedding look fun and absolutely beautiful. Thanks for being so professional and dealing with the heat and jam packed timetable. We can’t wait to see you and hang some of the prints on the wall. Goosebumps and tears, you truely know how to capture the moment. Love Tania and Gaz.
This wedding is so full of smiles, it’s infectious. Great job capturing all those. I love the 2nd last photo shot from inside the car. Nice treatment of colors there too!
Some great photojournalism there, but my favourite photograph was the overhead shot where they are lying on the wooden latted beams. Excellent!
love your blog! you have a great talent. few photographers can consistantly produce this quality of work!
Great coverage! That last shot through the window is priceless!
Wonderful images! They all made me smile. I love all the different angles. My favorite is the one of Tania and Garry laying on the plank boards! Awesome!
Loved all of the images. Especially the one from above when the couple was lying on the wooden walkway. Great lighting, expressions and wonderful use of textures and image depth.
Beautiful pictures! I loooove N°10 which is my favorite! Thanks for sharing your inspiring work.
During the meal at Josh & Jody’s wedding last Saturday (more from their wedding later), I noticed a couple of girls who were obviously sweet on two of the groomsmen. Everyone else was busy eating, so with nothing to miss here, we stepped outside for a few minutes of fun.
So, here’s Sarah & Wousung, and Laura & Gussy!
SLIDE SHOW
What fun! This is truely beautiful photography. You must have a knack for bringing out the silly side.
I love these Really fun photos! Could be two more weddings happening there!
Great work! It’s always nice when you capture something a little different! Well done!
We’ve had a couple of requests for pics from the rest of this wedding. As stated on the front page, these are coming.
We typically like the bride and groom to see the photos of themselves first. Once they’ve had a chance to view their images we’ll post more from their wedding here. Stay tuned!
Fantastic photography, looks like so much fun. They make gorgeous couples :)
Haylie Connaughton & Jamie Howarth were married on Nov 21st at Banjo Patterson Park near Orange, and had a very relaxed reception in a marquee on Jamie’s parent’s property at Clifton Grove.
Recently we’ve had a string of enquiries about whether we capture candid photographs of wedding guests, or just a mixture of candid and fashion style photos of the bridal party. (Looking back through this blog I can see why- we mainly post images of each bride & groom, leaving an unrealistic impression of our photography.)
To prove a point – the following are ONLY photos of Haylie & Jamie’s guests. To see images of this great couple, and rest of the day, contact Haylie!
Fun, informal and vibrant, love this set!
Love how you captured so much emotion in all of these. Great work!
I love the candid feel and the way you’re brilliantly capturing people’s interactions so naturally. Great images in a lovely setting.
A wedding so full of ‘life’. Also, I really like the wide shots of the ceremony under the tree.

Kathryn & Matthew were married in the Blue Mountains and had a wedding that showcased some of what Katoomba etc has to offer. They’ve just arrived back from their honeymoon, and I’m looking forward to them seeing these pics!
(SLIDESHOW)
To whom it may concern,
I just wanted to comment on the photos that you took of this beautiful wedding. They are good friends of mine and i was the MC at the reception. The images you have produced are amazing and are so artistic. Kathryn especially loves them and feels like a movie star in the making. I love how you have used all facets available to you to create these fantastic memories. I have mentioned your name to all our friends (we seem to be of that age at present) and told them to take a look at your spectacular work. I only wish i had heard of you when i was married many years ago! Again, congratulations on producing such professional and artistic images on what can be a very scattered day!
Thankyou!
Lauren
What a spectacular setting! Your wedding photos capture the setting and the emotions between this couple beautifully.
Beautiful work! I love the picture in the stretch limo (from the inside it looks like a bus!), you’ve captured beautifully the love between the lovely bride and groom.
Just amazing photography. It’s one thing having a fabulous venue and locations, but quite another thing to get so many fabulous images from one wedding. Simply outstanding. Love the slideshow.
Andrew McDonald and Nicole Doherty were married in Gulgong, with their reception in Mudgee, and Nicole would have to be the most rain-proof bride I’ve ever photographed! She was absolutely determined to have an amazing wedding, and amazing photos to go with it, regardless of the weather.
Both times that we got out of the cars during the bridal party shoot, the light rain quickly turned into a solid downpour. But throwing off the umbrellas and her cares, Nicole insisted we keep shooting anyway.
As a bonus, on their way back from their honeymoon, Nicole and Andrew were able to stop by and approve the design of their premium album, meaning they’ll have it for Christmas.
Graham,
Thank you so very much for capturing the memories of our wedding day. You did an absolutely amazing job and we will always be grateful for everything you did for us. You and Kate have been nothing but a pleasure. The slide show was such a bonus and so many of our guests appreciated seeing the photos that they would have otherwise missed out on. We are constantly looking at our incredible photos and they always make us both smile. Thanks again Graham, you completed out dream wedding.
Kind Regards,
Nicole and Andrew McDonald
Nice Work! Excellent use of colors. You’re capturing the light in a wonderful way.
Looks like a fun wedding. The images are really nice and brilliantly capture how much fun the couple were having. Great use of light, artistically composed. Good work!
Love the couple shots – and as a photographer I certainly know that doing a wet wedding is a challenge!
Gemmah Shuttleworth & Sia Soliola were married at the Orange Uniting Parish Centre on Oct 17th.
They are now off honeymooning in the UK and France, where Sia is apparently slipping out between romantic dinners and backrubs, to play for New Zealand in the Four Nations Rugby League series… (Some guys will do ANYTHING to get out of shopping!)
Following are some of Gemmah’s thoughts, on their cross-cultural and beautiful wedding-

Linzi Aland - Hello,
We are getting married on the 13th Sept 2014 in Dubbo and we’re wondering if you are available on that date. We would also love a rough idea of the cost for the day.
Thank you,
