About Alan
Melbourne, Australia, born and bred, with a passion for Wedding Photography!
At every wedding, I bring along years of photographic experience for the benefit of my couples.
In particular, I embrace the style of 'Wedding Photojournalism,' characterized by its documentary approach that captures candid and natural moments. (Click here to learn more.)

”Alan is an absolute professional who gave a service above and beyond all our expectations.”
Rebecca & Shaun.“We couldn't be more thrilled! Alan you have captured everyone and everything we could possibly imagine”. Tamra and Ferjani.
“Alan thank-you so much, our photos turned out beautifully with moments that will live on forever.” Sharmaine and Joel.
My goal is to immerse myself in the wedding atmosphere, to feel, to anticipate moments, and skilfully immortalize them! Whether a wedding is grand or intimate, each holds its own magic and charm..
Being a husband and father of four wonderful children (ages 14, 23, 30, and 32), I deeply appreciate that weddings ultimately celebrate love, and I recognize the importance of preserving cherished memories for every family.

’The Homeless Man', - Melbourne CBD, Australia.
(Not Alan.)
Background
It all started as a teenager when I captured this black/white image of an old homeless man sitting all alone in a Melbourne CBD street. As I was developing the print in my darkroom (no digital back then), I realised I had frozen in time a moment of this mans life, and it dawned on me the enormous power that a photograph can have to document people, and also to evoke emotions in the viewer, which for me in this case was empathy and sadness.
The image won an award back then and it paved the way for my life long journey into photography. You can see some of my Street Photography click here and Family Photography click here.
More about Alan
Alan’s face superimposed onto Derek Zoolander, just for fun! :-)
Some of my favorite things include our family's three Ragdoll kittens, a mischievous sausage dog named 'Frankie,' and a fluffy white Terrier rescue puppy called 'Ollie.' I've watched 'Zoolander' countless times, hold a deep admiration for the legendary rock band 'Queen' and when I get time like to watch ABC music show 'RAGE.' Impressionist artists such as Van Gogh, Monet and many others fascinate me, and I have a fondness for classic old Holden cars, homemade potato chips, my daughter's baklava, and of course a really good coffee!
