Some weddings are just pure vibe—and Ali & Andrew’s celebration at The Lodge Jamberoo absolutely nailed it.

Set in the heart of the rainforest just outside Kiama and Wollongong, this venue was the perfect backdrop for a day that was as fun and full of personality as these two. From the moment I arrived, the energy was buzzing. Think: endless margaritas, a string quartet playing Panic at the Disco and Blink 182, and groomsmen channeling their inner boy band with some next-level posing.

Being able to photograph Ali & Andrew was pure joy - you couldn't wipe the smile off their faces (or anyone else's for that matter) and the Lodge at Jamberoo was the ultimate backdrop for the biggest party of their lives!

ALI & ANDREW'S RAINFORREST WEDDING

Every part of the day felt like a true reflection of Ali and Andrew’s story—the years they’ve spent growing together, loving hard, and building a life filled with the kind of people who make you belly laugh until your cheeks hurt.

Their ceremony was heartfelt and personal, surrounded by their nearest and dearest. The rest of the day flowed effortlessly—from confetti moments to dance floor chaos—and it was such an honour to document it all. Ali and Andrew, you were a dream. This is one I won’t forget anytime soon.

Can we also just talk about the vendor line up?! I had never worked with any of these guys before, and it was a real treat to see them in action and to photograph alongside them.
