• hello friends..


    welcome to my personal blog - things i like - music, photos, architecture, design, & words - from my brain (and other people's brains).. all images here are taken by me (some awesome wedding pics from Alyda too), unless highfives are very gladly given to the author of some things i wish i had made/created/recorded/thought of/seen..

    ps.. I'm a wedding photographer.. so if you're planning to marry your lover, & you like what you see/feel here, you should contact us very soon.. we take limited bookings for wedding photography each year & we book out early.. (& i'm not just saying that to make you call us) :]

    here's a movie we made to introduce our little friends to the world.. ---->



fridays on foot.. i heart new york

alyda & i recently returned to new york city for a few days off.. it was just what we needed at the time – a week to disconnect from work, disconnect from life..  as we landed, the bitterly freezing winds of the manhattan streets embraced me like i was a long lost son returning from war.. & i welcomed the slap in the face – the shock to my system was like a re-boot..

so, as you may have gathered, while in new york, i revived my personal project..  Fridays on Foot.

i’ve been thinking a lot lately – y’know about stuff.. and as people contacted me over the years to ask if they could come along with me on a FOF walk, i could only explain that the walks were like personal therapy for me – alone time, time-out, a few hours of quiet amongst a crazy life/work/travel schedule… people were very respectful of that & i was very grateful – so thank you :)

it’s been a while – my last fridays on foot post was in december 2011, & what i realized in new york this year (while walking around photographing my day), is that i’m in a different place now.. a good place, and sharing is good.. it’s like delicious pizza  for the soul..

so yes, this is an invitation.. whilst it may not happen every single week, when the stars align, i’d love you to join me with fridays on foot – walk around, take some photos, hang out for a while & talk about things.. coffee/beer/tropical punch cordial?  i need you to know – this is purely a social/fun/being around other people thing.. nothing to do with photography businesses, or workshops/mentoring etc.. no brainstorming or ‘this is how to use your camera’ lessons.. it’s simply some time for people that like photography to take photos of things.. so any talk regarding the above fore-mentioned topics, will result in a $5.00 donation to the “douchebag jar”  :)

so keep an eye on our facebook page.. & standby for notifications dudes..

love always..

Brisbane | djb world photography blog - [...] my trip in a nutshell: Friday: Fridays on Foot! I had such a good time at this photography meetup :) Click the link to see what it’s all [...]

enter the dojo..

hello photographers of the world..

just letting you know that i am officially offering solo mentoring sessions for reals.. i’ve been doing them for a while in an underground/”meet me in a dark alley & i’ll give you some secrets” kind of way when people contact me..

now, i’ll be doing them more officially, more often, & in more of a “meet me outside your house & we’ll pull up in a black gangster car (or maybe a van), & grab you – then give you some excellent ideas about how to make your business better, (or show you how to use your camera if you’re a non-professional type photographer)” kind of way.  but then, y’know if both parties consent,  it’s more like an adventure & less like kidnapping isn’t it..

so, if you’re interested, click here, or click on ENTER THE DOJO in the menu above you – then email us for more details.. there’s already a few of you waiting for the details, so you guys definitely don’t need to email us again :)

warmest ever regards in the whole world

pai mei

this is me (with my teacher), very early in my career.. people would often comment that i looked like uma thurman ;)

steven - You looked like Uma Thurman back then

deandra + adam.. all smiles

“together with their families”.. and close friends.. that pretty much sums up the modern wedding..  & i think it’s safe to say that deandra & adam absolutely nailed it with their party of parties.. 60 ish of their closest, together – a banquet/feast/extravaganza celebration in one of the most stunning venues on this beautiful earthworld..

d&a’s wedding was amazing at every moment, but you know what i loved the most?  so many smiles.. they were everywhere & they were completely contagious.. it just felt amazing to be a part of this day.. so deandra & adam.. thank you sooooo much for having us!  i’m a very lucky boy :)

big thanks alyda (of team mcgaw), to maria from divinity signature events – awesome job as usual, estelle (the french petal) – floral genius, and the excellent humans at coorabella..

d&a’s wedding was also very recently featured on the lane, so jump (or skip), over there for some yummy goodness :)

Boho's Best Bits: W/C 25th March – Boho Weddings - [...] Deandra and Adam…All Smiles – From Tod Hunter McGaw [...]

lauren + joel.. (an awakening)

as a modern wedding photographer, i can confidently say that i get to see some pretty amazing things – some amazing people in amazing places, sharing some super amazing moments… & these excellent people kindly invite us in.. right in.. into their lives for one day… standing in a room with families & besties – hearts out, no walls, no holding back.. “here we are todd, this is us.. we trust you – show us what you see..” sometimes i feel like the luckiest boy on this earthworld..

surprising though, that it was at this wedding, in my own city, in the homes of our clients’ family & friends, and a local restaurant called bistrot bistro, that i was very humbly reminded of my responsibility as a wedding photographer, and felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude that i get to participate in this way.. it also made me want to try harder, way harder, to get better – to serve better.. to ditch ego, stay sharp & pedal as hard as i can all day..

i simply cannot thank lauren & joel enough for choosing us.. after bringing their wedding forward due to lauren’s dad’s illness, L&J planned the entire event in less than a month.. and what a celebration it was.. (L&J’s special red-eyed, toothy guest ‘dennis’ peaked a little early).. this wedding affected both alyda and i deeply.. like an adrenalin shot to the heart, it shocked us out of the coma of modern day-to-day life & showed us a glimpse of absolute pure love.. it was like God showed me his iPhone 57s & said “hey todd, check out my feed.. i’ve totes got like infinity likes!” – i exploded.

to see lauren & joel’s families all celebrate with them was truly inspiring..  & to see a father set pain aside & give every milligram of strength he had, to celebrate in triumph as his daughter marries her love..  there are no words..

lauren & joel.. infinity thank yous for trusting us.. your wedding changed me.

Lauren lost her dad a few days after the wedding.. she recently shared with us, the following:

“After ten years as a couple, we planned and executed our wedding in less than a month when Dad became acutely unwell – but in retrospect we would not have changed a thing about our day. The most important part for us (apart from getting married to each other, of course), was undoubtedly the people we got to share the experience with. It was an amazing opportunity to celebrate our love for each other, our relationships with our loved ones, our past, our present, and all of the reasons we consider our lives to be so blessed. That week I gained one of the two greatest men I’ve ever known as my husband and said goodbye to the other one, my dad. It was an extraordinarily inspiring few days in our lives.” – Lauren

21 February 2013 - 6:00 am

Antony - I work in a busy office during the day and all I could load from your feed was the writing and no images, mainly because my office has the worst reception in England!… this was at 9am!

After reading your introduction I have been very anxious to get home, load up my computer and see the images I was unable to load. It is now 8pm and I’m finely home from my day job and I have to say that it was worth the wait. What a crackin’ set of images to go with such a sensitive story.

You can only do your best!
Hats off to you Todd.

21 February 2013 - 2:49 am

Kyle - I photographed a wedding where the groom died two weeks later. The pressure was immense but the experience was the same — it is a humbling reminder of what’s important and a humbling reminder to work your ass off for your clients. I’m so glad this couple has your beautiful photographers to help keep their dad’s memory alive. His smile is illuminating.

Boho's Best Bits – W/C 18th February | Boho Weddings | UK Wedding Blog - [...] Lauren and Joel – Todd Hunter McGaw [...]

american photo top 10 wedding photographers in the world 2013..

i read the email 5 times before i understood what it was saying..  it’s the kind of thing you want to be sure about – then it sank in..  & then i just sat there – silent, still, unblinking..  then my entire body filled with goose-bumps.. then i cried.. one of those quiet little cries – y’know, when you are so thankful that every fibre of your body & soul is filled & gushingly overflowing with pure gratitude, & your body has no idea what’s happening to it.. it’s default/reboot reaction is to regress back to when you were a helpless baby & the only way to express yourself was by crying.. well that’s pretty much how i reacted to this.. (i didn’t poop my pants though – promise)..

of course, when i gathered myself together 20mins later, alyda & i were running around dancing like they do in flashdance – highfives, hugs, yelling & screaming like normal people  :)

to be included in “THE LIST” – american photo magazine’s top ten wedding photographers in the world this year, is a dream.. a dream that seemed ABSOLUTELY so far out of my reach, that i wouldn’t even contemplate bothering about  thinking about considering the possibility of dreaming about it..  that list is reserved for other photographers i respect, admire & aspire to..

and yet here i am..  crazy.

crazy happy..

so i guess i’ll keep pedalling the same as i always do – riding my own race as i explore & discover more about myself, about people, about relationships, about photography, about art, & about life & adventure.. but i certainly cannot proceed without thanking these completely amazing humans in my life that love me, laugh, cry, travel, explore, cycle, learn, chat, drink guinness, and dance with me.. i salute you…

(random order, but alyda is my favourite, & then probably dan) – thank you to all our aMAZing clients, and alyda, jonas peterson, jacqui mckeering, dan o’day, jason starr, sally ogilvie, christine pobke, kelly tunney, samm blake, marcus bell, jen bebb, steve bebb, the muldoons, rod buchholz, alan & vicki, brett valissa & lachlan + rachael mcgaw, dylan phillips, andrea turner, phil & emma driver, brad & bec, (and our brisbane photographers gang)..

also, a big time congrats to our friends samm blake, the parsons + ryan brenizer, who also most likely danced around like fools after reading a very similar email recently… and.. a MEGA thanks to American Photo Mag..
