.2024.

What an incredible year 2024 has been! A whopping 91 weddings from January 3rd to December 30th 2024 —and what a journey!

As I reflect on the past twelve months, I am filled with gratitude for the amazing couples who trusted me to capture one of the most important days of their lives.

This year has been nothing short of extraordinary, and it’s all because of you.

A sincere thank you to all my couples who had me capture their day. Each and every single couple received their next-day preview with stacks of images, and their online gallery was delivered within 10 days. This quick turnaround is no small feat—it takes hard work, dedication, and a streamlined post-production workflow. No waiting weeks (or even months or years!) for your images here!

In 2024, I had the honour of photographing weddings across the Southern Highlands, Bowral, and the South Coast—venues that perfectly showcase the beauty and romance of each couple’s unique love story. From intimate garden ceremonies to grand celebrations overlooking the ocean, every wedding was a testament to the power of love, connection, and joy.

While I was busy traveling the countryside, my incredible wife played an essential role behind the scenes. She managed USB boxes and spearheaded a website and branding refresh to carry us into the next few years. Her efforts ensure that my couples continue to receive a fresh approach to wedding photography that reflects my nature: professional, no fluffing around, fast and efficient, and dedicated to providing a positive and engaging experience from beginning to end. The most wonderful memories deserve to be up on your wall!

This year was also filled with milestones for my business. I introduced video for ceremonies and speeches ( Im thrilled so many of you have already embraced this addition!) and of course it wouldn’t be a year without a few new toys in the kit! With so many glowing reviews , your kind words about my approach and quick turnaround have truly warmed my heart.

To all the couples I had the pleasure of working with this year: thank you. Thank you for inviting me into your lives and allowing me to document your day. Thank you for sharing your unique stories and trusting me to preserve them. Every wedding I photograph is a reminder of why I love what I do.

As I look ahead to 2025, I am excited to meet new couples, explore new venues, and continue creating images that you will treasure forever. To my past and future clients, thank you for making this journey so fulfilling. Here’s to more love, laughter, and beautiful memories in the coming year.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Gav
