Regardless of your race, yes? Regardless of your religious beliefs, yes? Regardless of your sexual orientation? Apparently not legally in this country. Which is a crying shame. Especially when you witness something as pure and real as I did yesterday. I was so, so, so blessed to witness the commitment ceremony of Chris and Kibare in a small and intimate party at the gorgeous Victorian in Albert Park. During their vows there was not a single dry eye in the house nor did the smiles leave anyone's faces. It was an emotional and poignant day for everyone present, and I personally think of it as a wedding to remember.

Thank you ever so much Chris and Kibare, for allowing me to witness your special day. I feel so privileged to have been there to document your union. Enjoy your honeymoon! xox

One thing I absolutely adore about my job is seeing families grow and change from one session to the next. Seeing little kids go from shy toddlers to outgoing little pre-schoolers with more personality than I thought was possible for small children!

Regardless of the fact that I know this family really well, I'm still constantly surprised by how much the kids have grown... Paisley off to school next year, and Kirrilly conquering the known universe ;-)

This is seriously one of my most favouritist sessions ever (yes, it is a word. In the dictionary of Mandy - look it up!). Enjoy this preview Brooke and Rob, I was giggling so much at these images of your girls, they are awesome to the max. Love you guys xox

Hello friends!

Yesterday I had the absolute pleasure of photographing the intimate and gorgeous wedding of Elaine and Kris. Two of the sweetest and genuinely nicest people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. The sun was shining, the bride was stunning, the groom was doting and every.single.person there was having a ball.

You know how sometimes things are just perfect, and everything seems right with the world? Yesterday when Elaine and Kris said their vows and signed their marriage certificate, the Universe was smiling. And so was I.

Enjoy these. Much love and happiness to you both E and K xox







This photo is the epitome of the day. E and K cracking each other and everyone else up!
