Met at Melbourne Town Hall and it was a great privledge to help promote the Melbourne Ball on the Steps of the Melbourne Town Hall. Good Luck t The Lord Mayor’s Charitable Fund.

Olivia and Alex Collins' Wedding

What a beautiful wedding out Our Lady of the Basilica, and Rippon Lea!  Please enjoy Alex’s romantic sentiments in thinking back on his wedding day. “Seeing Olivia walk down the aisle was a moment I will never forget. She looked so beautiful, was glowing from the inside out with happiness – I couldn’t wait to exchange our vows and say ‘I do’. It was a great feeling to walk out of the church together as husband and wife (even if I did have to do it on crutches!!) becauseI knew that whatever happens in life, we’ll always make it through together!”

Joyce and Darien’s 60th wedding anniversary

I enjoyed today so much! I photographed the celebrations of a beautiful couple commemorating 60years of wedded bliss! They were surrounded by family and friends and still had a twinkle in their eyes for each other. I can only hope that I will be celebrating in the same style with my beautiful wife at our 60th anniversary!

Real Futons

A great day in the studio shooting an amazing array of futons and bedding! So tempting to just jump in and have a nap. The beds looked so comfy!

Epworth 90 Years Celebration

Happy 90th Birthday, Epworth!
On Saturday 27 February at the prestigious Plaza Ballroom in the Regent Theatre. Victoria’s largest provider of private not-for-profit healthcare services, Epworth celebrates 90 years of providing hospital services in Richmond. Opening its doors in a converted mansion in 1920 with just 25 beds and a staff of five, the original benefactor Sir Alfred Danks could only have dreamed that Epworth HealthCare’s yearly admissions would exceed 100,000 patients nine decades later. Congratulations, Epworth. Image Eight is really enjoying being involved with all your celebrations.

Moonambel fireworks

Travelled to the cute little town of Moonambel where my sister in law lives to photograph their annual fireworks display. My images of their beautiful handmade paper lanterns and enormous bonfire were used for Moonambel Events’ posters and flyers distributed throughout Central Victoria. Amazing community spirit on the night, and you could really feel the sense of occasion. I’m so pleased with the way the posters worked out. They look great.

Epworth Healthcare

Epworth Healthcare Family and Friends Sports and Leisure Day

Just got back from a hot day in the sun photographing Epworth Hospital’s Family Day. The highlight was the ABI Cup Soccer Match between Epworth Healthcare staff and The Victorian Police. The money raised on the day went to Epworth’s Rehabilitation for Acquired Brain Injury Unit. It was awesome to be in the middle of the Bob Jane Stadium when the Police helicopter landed. The kids loved it (almost as much as having their faces painted!) Image Eight News
