Life Unmade Workshop Experience
As I am getting ready to head off on another life-changing workshop and adventure I realised that I needed to share this one first...
In March of this year I attended the Life: Unmade Workshop in McCrae, Victoria with Amy of Amy Rushbrook - Lifestyle Photographer for Appreciators of the Unconventional.
It was 2 wonderful days spent with 7 other creative, interesting women (+ Amy and Hannah) sharing ideas on photography, life and some delicious food by Merowyn of Plate Got Ate, and I can assure you - my plate certainly got ate! Yum!
Amy welcomed everyone - quite literally - with open arms, and we began by introducing ourselves. She is as kind, warm, heartfelt and passionate as you imagine her to be when looking at her photographs and reading her captions on social media. Listening to her speak and learning from Amy was an absolute pleasure.
Amy was beyond generous with the way she shared her knowledge and I really felt like you could attend this workshop and walk away with an entire start-up plan for your business, she really had thought of everything. To top it off she brought along her super sweet and kind bestie/assistant Hannah, to organise all kinds of things in the background, as well as join in on the conversation and even jumped in to model when asked!
While I think of my main business as being Wedding Photography, and this workshop mainly targeted at photographing families, I knew that I could apply the same skills to capture candid moments on a wedding day and improving and evolving my couples photography - Which is something I hope to work on and make a large part of my business in the near future.
I took every opportunity to photograph the parents on their own and listened to the cues Amy would give them to get beautiful, natural photographs.
The only downside was that it felt like it was all over too soon!
Laura & Shane - Forest Edge Wedding
Laura and Shane married on Saturday at Forest Edge Restaurant surrounded by friends and family. Many of them travelling from overseas and interstate for the special occasion.
They selected one very special friend each to have by their side on the day, and included family in their ceremony to make it extra special. Laura was escorted down the aisle by her twin brothers, and it was clear that they adore their big sister.
It was a wonderful party from beginning to end with the dancing starting even before the entrees were finished being served! The dance floor was only evacuated to listen to speeches, otherwise it was occupied all night long.
Shane and Laura opted for a sparkler exit and spent a couple of days with their international guests before they head off on their honeymoon tomorrow. Have a great time!

Chelsey & Dan - Abbotsford Convent Wedding
Oh my, what a wedding!
So they say rain on a wedding day means good luck and longevity for the couple, and rain it absolutely did! I’m certain Chelsey and Daniel are destined for a lifetime of happiness.
I witnessed some of the most beautiful, heartfelt and hilarious vows I have ever heard. The speeches delivered by parents, siblings and friends were more of the same, resulting in tears, roars of laughter and high fives.
Held at the stunning Abbotsford Convent, a venue possibly even more impressive in the rain, was the perfect setting. Dan looked the part in a classic, navy suit and Chelsey stealing the show (and rightfully so) in a gorgeous, vintage, tea length gown.
To two of the most kind and encouraging people I have ever met – Thank You for having me along for the ride and allowing me to photograph one of the most special days of your lives. With so many people to choose from I feel very honoured.
Wishing you the most amazing life together.
