"I was trained as a photojournalist - I graduated with a Diploma from
Western Academy of Photography in 2009 and went on to work for weekly
newspaper in Victoria. Soon enough I was shooting my colleague's
weddings on the weekends. I realized I loved photographing weddings,
being in close proximity to such an intimate and eventful time of
people's lives.
Being entrusted as the memory keeper - documenting, and
combining that documentation with the art of light, exposure,
composition - has been overwhelmingly fulfilling. Capturing the unexpected
moments from unexpected angles is a big part of what keeps me feeling
like every wedding is brand new, and totally unique. I'm a
photojournalist at heart."
