Commercial Garden Shots - Amarant Retreat, Yarra Valley.

I've been shooting a bunch of interiors and exteriors this year for Amarant Retreat in the Yarra Valley. Here's a few of the garden shots.

prior to the ceremony - Tay Creggan, Hawthorn.

angles, shapes and colours - Tatra, Mount Dandenong.

the groom, the grandma and the bride - Transit Lounge, Melbourne.

Amber and Pat's wedding - The Prince Deck, St Kilda.

There are very few venues in Melbourne as switched on as The Prince in St Kilda - immensely stylish, energetic staff, great food, and a feel that every wedding is a ‘special event’ - it stands apart. On occasions, when working at a reception centre I am sadly reminded of the dispassionate energy and inflexibility some such venues radiate. With a ‘cookie cutter’ approach that appears more interested in moving you along rather than genuinely making you feel welcome (and don't get me started on the quality of the food or cloth covered chairs with bows).

Amber and Pat's gorgeous wedding combined incredible style with intimacy, emotion and a sense of humour. The stunning flowers were by the groom’s sister. It was a great pleasure to share and photograph the day.
