Yesterday would have to be one of the best days of my life.
I had the pleasure of meeting one of my all time favourite photographers.
I stumbled across Jasmins blog about 2 years ago and absolutely admired her work from then on.
She has been my biggest inspiration since then and Im so glad she flew all the way over to Australia to teach us what she knows.

Last week I had the pleasure of capturing Sonia and Macca's big day.
It was a scorcher of a day but that did not change or disrupt the beauty of the event.
Thanks for choosing me to be your photographer guys, I absolutely loved being out there with you's and had fun doing what I do.
Best wishes for the future:)
