Gold and Grit Photography

When I first met Anna and Russell I was kind of stoked. Actually, more than stoked. A Phillip Island clifftop boho-festival wedding with singalong during the ceremony. You can’t really ask for more, really. Teepees, an insanely amazing ceremony backdrop (I WANT IT FOR MY HOUSE PLEASE), a velvet suit jacket and an over the top flower crown. Well actually, there were two. And did I mention the amazing tunes from Fidel & Sarah, or the epically fun ceremony by Dee? Plus views! Glamping tents! BBQ! Seriously I could go on writing stuff out forever but it’d probably just be better to look at the photos.

We had one challenge for this wedding: We had a fairly short window for portraits and Anna was dead set on a brick wall. Trouble was they were getting hitched in a tiny lil town on the south end of Phillip Island. I don’t think I’ve ever been as detailed when location scouting before, but I found one wall in the town and it was only a couple of minutes drive away. Score!

I have had so many comments on the photos so far, that they are the best photos people have ever seen of a wedding, and that you were amazing on the night as well. I honestly couldn’t be happier!
