This is at the back of the building where this couple got married.
I saw the architecture and loved how the shape could beautifully contradict with the couple.
Having my assistant point the flash at the couple to create the shadows on the wall, really enhanced the overall feel.
This wedding couple lives close to the forest where they often walk.
He asked her to marry him during one of their hikes and that's why we went there on their wedding day.
This place on a hill was a beautiful backdrop for this photo.
Another from Elmore Court in Gloucestershire. This young lad, the little boy of the bride and groom decided JUST before they are about to cut the cake to sneak a bit into his mouth....and I caught him red handed.
Rachel and Blake on the swing at Jaspers on the NSW South Coast. I had said that I'd meet them by the swing for a few photographs only to find them like this having a little chat. I let them be whilst I took some images without them realising.
The DJ and I discussed when to set of the Confetti canons. I took some 1st dance shots and then quickly switched to a wide angle 14mm lens and crouched down ready for the canons. I knew exactly the beat of the song for when the were to explode so I locked focus on the couple and fired several shots and selected the best of the bunch. Everyone loved the confetti canons going off.
This couple lives by the sea in Scheveningen, The Hague and are really passionate surfers.
During a warm summer day we had a shoot during sunset, which really portrays their love for surfing, the sea and each other.
If stormy weather is predicted, you might be a bit worried as a wedding couple. But this October couple did not!
We drove to the Domtuin in Utrecht and let the strong wind play with the beautiful veil.
When Danielle and Joe said they wanted a little private time away from their guests, we decided to hide in the ceremony barn, and said I would hang back while they did. They did this totally unexpectedly and I was just fortunate enough to sense something was about to happen :-)
Amazing location, Baveno near Milan. The couple chartered a speedboat for half an hour to go with their bridesmaids to an island on the lake for some pictures. This was what I got as they returned to the boat. Wonderful light.
Couple Ashok and Ashika wanted me to capture a moment that will be preserved forever! It was a rainy day in our place and I took the couple out for a drive and found this place and had to take the shot!
The rain is lit with a strobe from behind!
Thank you for the award. This was Alice and James' wedding on a gorgeous summers day outside the church where guests were giving the confetti some gusto.
I love this candid moment during the father of the brides's speech :)
Emma's dad was explaining (both verbally and non-verbally) that you should never go to bed on an argument. His solution? Simple; for every husband to always agree with his wife!
I had preempted that something was going to happen when I noticed the covered signed before the speeches had started so I made sure that periodically I and was in the right spot with a 24mm lens which enabled me to capture the action.
Ibiza is one of those places you more than often think of a party Island. Venture a little further out and you are treated to some truly beautifully idillic locations worthy of any wedding. Here, shot on the beach front at Elixir Shore Club, Emma and Ben tied the knot. So I took them down carefully onto the rocks at sunset.
Speaking the beautiful words for your bride in public isn't that easy! Thomas wrote 2 pages full of beautiful words & stories...
During a few minutes we had before the coctail, we found a wonderful light.
We took full advantage of 10 minutes before sunset.
A beautiful pine forest, the couple in love and the old car did the rest.
The photo is taken in Simancas, a beautiful town very close to Valladolid, Spain.

Rachel and Blake wed at Jaspers in Jaspers Brush, on the NSW south coast. I just love this picture of Rachel being pushed on a swing by her lovely bridesmaids.
Thank you so much for recognising my work. I wanted to give something out of the ordinary to this couple. This building ( a Buddhist Stupa) has been our city's heritage and the sky was filled with stars. So the thought of a star trail portrait triggered
The photo was taken in a forest in Masuria (Poland). The amazing bride greatly facilitated the task of making a nice photo. The gentle sun that shone on the face through the branches probably did a nice job ;)
This was the last shot I had on Salwa & Jesse wedding before the reception start. The bride was very relaxed and the day was going very smooth. I started to ask her and her bridesmaids to kindly start capturing some natural, fun photos. There were kinda hesitated at the beginning about this idea to through their flowers up in the air, but in a few seconds, they were like let's do it. I loved to capture and focus on the faces expressions of each one of them.
The pictures that look effortlessly beautiful are the ones that take the most effort. A million little details and pitch-perfect co-ordination later, we got to click the exact frame we had in mind. This award is definitely making it to our history books.
