I'm on a roll - 2 updates in one day! Anna and Dainon got married right at the end of 2009 at Forest Hill Winery in Denmark, WA.

I've got so-oooo much catching up to do! These are from Sandra and Paul's wedding in early-December - a beautiful, relaxed affair, above, on and around Ocean Beach in Denmark WA.

Nao and Mark have just returned from a year in Bulgaria to get married here in Denmark WA. We arranged to catch up this morning for a pre-wedding shoot which turned out to be a pregnancy shoot too - Congratulations guys :-)  After this morning's session I can hardly wait for the wedding itself at the weekend.

I had a beautiful time recently with Heidi and Brent on their wedding day, here in Denmark WA. Heidi got ready at Karma Chalets, before the ceremony at the Catholic Church. And then the rain began! Spirits however weren't dampened at all - far from it. Between showers we had lots of fun around the Denmark River, in the forest and on the beach at Greens Pool, and then on to Forest Hill for an

I did a mad day-trip to Lake Grace on Saturday with 4 of the other artists from our East of Us arts project. We're planning to spend a week there in March 2010 as a lead-up to Denmark's annual Brave New Works festival. The idea is that 10 Denmark artists (4 musicians, a sculptor, 2 visual artists, 2 writers and a photographer...me) spend a week collaborating creatively with each other and with

I had a wonderful time recently photographing Robb and Jodie's wedding here in Denmark, WA. In many ways it was very traditional but their approach was delightfully relaxed and unconventional. Even discovering that their celebrant had had a heart attack overnight left them worrying more about him than about the task of finding a stand-in celebrant for that afternoon. Beautiful people, stunning

I've been photographing lots of amazing artwork this week as everyone set up their exhibitions for this year's Southern Art & Craft Trail. It also provided the opportunity to photograph my lovely friend Anthony Docherty again for some publicity shots for his exhibition with Chris Lee. We headed to the coast and managed to grab this one - called "Collaboration" :-) - between storms. Doc and

I've been invited to be part of a combined exhibition for next year's Foto Freo - Fremantle's biennial international festival of photography. It's great to have a reason to get out and take some photos just for me :-)  I'm planning on doing a kitchen-based series of photos to show the different sides of the local community. Spent a lovely morning with Luc Longley and Anna Gare in their kitchen

I've been designing new gift vouchers this week and have made them available through my website or directly from me. They can be redeemed against wedding photography, portrait shoots, prints, wedding albums and books, so apart from making great birthday and Christmas presents, they can be added to 'wedding present' lists by the bride and groom.

Well after months (roughly 36 of them) of saying we'd like to catch up to do some photos, I finally got together with musician and environmentalist David Rastrick this morning.

I was delighted to be selected as a finalist recently in the annual Iris Awards for portraits, run by the Perth Centre for Photography. I'd entered a photo of a local Denmark couple, Colin and Barbara, taken in their kitchen. It's called Standing Still. If you're interested, the exhibition of the finalists runs until 27 September at the PCP Gallery in Brisbane Street, Perth. Check out their

I'm looking forward to a final catch-up with Jodie and Robb this weekend, before their wedding next month. Last time we met we did some pre-wedding photos down by the river but I think my favourites from that day were the ones I took over coffee beforehand...

Just a couple of weeks after the Ravensthorpe project, its resulting exhibition for the Brave New Works festival and 2 weddings squeezed in, I set off on the adventure of a lifetime to the Solomon Islands in the South Pacific. My travelling companions were festival director and music manager/producer Peter Keelan, ABC Radio Australia presenter Isabelle Genoux, and fellow photographer Simon

Thought I'd get things moving by including images from a couple of the lovely opportunities, both personally and photographically, I've had this year. In March I was invited to go and camp in a paddock in Ravensthorpe with 9 other artists for a week. It was for a project called East of Us and was part of Denmark Arts' annual Brave New Works Festival. We spent the week collaborating with each

Well I've finally become a blogger! Part of my post-holiday enthusiasm, putting into place all those ideas that drifted in and out of my consciousness as I got back to basics on our family camping holiday amongst the sand dunes on the NW coast of WA recently.I've also revamped my website if you fancy checking it out... www.artycool.com
