Jemma + Piers | Modern Abbotsford Convent wedding | She Takes Pictures He Makes Films

There was so much to love about Jemma + Piers’ stylish northside wedding. A breathtaking Ellery gown and Reformation bridesmaid gowns; a visit to the colourful Electric Brain barbershop; divine styling from Stephanie Stamatis of Local Gatherings; delicious food by the team at Bursaria… and of course, the beaming, gorgeous couple at the centre of it all.

It was a a delight spending the day with these two (and their lovely friends and family), and an absolute dream to photograph.

Updated: Alastair‘s film is now live! Featuring a title illustration by Caro Facelli, and a rad soundtrack from Mint Julep and Radiation City. Check it out at the bottom of the post.

Say PEACE! offers original art in a range of large, affordable poster prints by Australian photographers (only $149 each), with 100% of the profits donated to relief efforts for the people of Aleppo, Syria.

Cheers to Erin Neale and Tara Pearce for inviting me to be part of this wonderful initiative.

Rangefinder Magazine’s 30 Rising Stars of Wedding Photography | Lucy Spartalis

New York’s Rangefinder Magazine just named me one of the 30 Rising Stars of Wedding Photography. From around the world.

Right.

I don’t know how to write about these things. I’ve been honoured with a few wins in my career, but all I really want to say now is: “Guys. This one is big. I’ve made a few previous announcements about exciting things… But this is a really, really exciting thing.”

Some wonderful industry leader out there nominated me for consideration – to whoever you are, I thank you from the bottom of my everything (and I owe you many a beer).

After receiving the email to announce my nomination (amongst 200+ other nominees from all corners of the world), I had a few weeks to collate 30 pieces for my entry – I’ve posted them all here for you to view, along with the cover of the latest issue and my page from inside.

Words can’t express how grateful I am for this honour. Thanks to all the judges, the staff at Rangefinder Magazine, and all the wonderful couples who have invited me into their lives for these wonderful, crazy days and adventures. Lastly, thanks to my partner in life and crime, Alastair Innes (the ‘He’ in our duo She Takes Pictures He Makes Films) for being the best man ever.

This job is really freaking special.
