I shot Matthew and Audrey’s wedding on the 28th of May 2011 in the Yarra Valley in Melbourne. It was the last wedding of an incredibly busy season and my last “portrait” of that season. There is allot in this image for me personally, it was cold, we were tired and these two didn’t notice…
fantastic!!
high fives for high beams:)
Ya man, this is tasty.
Love the play with light and shadow!

Well, where do I begin… Almost a year ago today I received an email from the (then) excited bride to be Tara… She told me that my work moved her and asked me if I would consider shooting her wedding at an abandoned Mansion (Alder Manor) in New York. I took about zero seconds to…
Your work never ceases to amaze me. GORGEOUS.

well… shit. That’s pretty amazing.
I’m pretty ok with long ones….ridic
Niiiice!!! Loved it, Dan.
Kaboom! Love the way you see things – and what a sweet venue!
