Rain Drenched Fagan Park Session | Van Der Merwe Family

Sydney’s weather has been so unpredictable this spring and this Sunday afternoon session with the fabulous Van Der Merwe family at Fagan Park was no different. In the week leading up to their session, Dom and I had discussed our wet weather plan if we happened to have rain. We decided that since the rain in Sydney never lasted very long, we’d brave the weather, even if there were signs of rain and simply seek shelter in the event that the skies did open.

Early Spring Wedding in the Hawkesbury | Darren and Misty

They met online when a Tinder glitch said they were only 3km’s apart. After swiping right and starting to chat, they realised they were, in fact, 325km’s apart! And the rest…as they say…is history!

This beautiful editorial was a celebration of Japanese culture, conceptualised by Wedding stylist Marie Phu of Lil Elements. Inspired by the colours and design of an incredible kimono, Marie thought that there should be a wedding that could allow both culture and modernism to shine through. The garden-inspired florals with Japanese influences were used to […]
