Sydney Wedding Photographer

March 20th, 2013

Welcome to Gold Hat Photography. My name’s Mark and I’m a Sydney wedding photographer. On this site you will find a range of my own personal photography for you to get a general idea of my style. If you’d like to look at my Sydney wedding photography, click here.

I’m originally from the UK, having lived there for most of my life, followed by a stint in Paris and a few years in Tokyo. Now I’m in Sydney and I’m doing my best to freshen up the wedding photography industry, to show couples that their wedding photos don’t have to look like everyone else’s.

My fresh, candid and creative approach to wedding photography has been featured on several industry sites and aims to capture those fleeting moments and raw emotion that define your wedding day. I look forward to giving you a set of captivating and timeless images that you’ll be proud to show your friends and children for years to come.

Happi Days – A Japanese girl in Surry Hills

May 14th, 2013

Here are some photos I took a few weeks ago in Surry Hills. Rickey is wearing a ‘Happi’, a short sleeved, casual garment usually worn to festivals in Japan, and carrying a ‘higasa’ – a traditional Japanese sun shade. Here’s an article I wrote about the role my mother had in making the Beatles wear Happis in Japan in 1966: When mum met the Beatles.

Some of the photos from this shoot are currently being shown in an exhibition in Japan at the Tokyo Tower art gallery, which I’m pretty chuffed about!

Wakeboarding Weekend

May 5th, 2013

This weekend we stayed in an amazing lakeside guest house in Cottage Point in the Ku-rinigai Chase National Park. The plan was to do some wakeboarding, which some of us did, whilst the others were towed a few metres lying face up in the water until they let go of the rope. Rather embarrassingly, I was part of the latter group. I couldn’t even stand up once! I’ve resigned to the fact that I’m not suited to watersports and will stick to taking photos from the boat!

I did manage to stand for a while at water skiing, although I think I looked like a newly born giraffe. Luckily for me, my friends don’t know how to operate my camera…

Hope you enjoy my candid lifestyle photography from the weekend.
