I'm all about capturing those important unscripted moments. I'm not the photographer who will make you stand and smile at me, I'm the one you'll think is just a member of the family.
What's important to me, is that by the time your wedding day arrives, I'll have gotten to know you well enough to know what will make you laugh, smile and do happy crying!
I'm usually mistaken for a guest, just with a big camera, and you know what, I'm fine with that.
I'm a documentary style wedding photographer so I capture all those moments as they happen, candidly and naturally, MOST importantly I aim to make sure you have fun. Whether that be making you jump on the bed or pull funny faces.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Where are you based?
I'm based in Melbourne, Australia but I am very happy to travel to rural, interstate and of course overseas to capture love!
Do you do same-sex weddings?
A million times YESS!!! LGBTQIA+, no matter how you identify and regardless of how you define your relationship, I'd love to be a part of your wedding day. Love is love and I'm 100% here for it!
How many photos will we receive?
You'll receive over 600-800 photos (roughly 100 photos per hour), depending on how many hours we shoot and how jam-packed your wedding day is!
We don't want our photos on social media?
Unfortunately in the times we are in, if by chance I get COVID or do become unwell, I have contacts all over the world that will be able to step in. These are other talented photographers who will take good care of you.
Do you have a payment plan?
Yes, we can organise to split your payments into instalments. Just let me know if this would suit you.
Can I print my photos?
Of course, I'd love for you to print your favourite photos! You can easily order photos prints through your online gallery.
How will we receive our photos?
Firstly, I'll send you a handful of sneak peek shots a couple of days after your wedding. 6 to 8 weeks later, you'll receive a link to your online gallery to watch and relive your wedding day. Around the same time, you'll also receive a beautiful package in the mail with a USB, prints and a little thank you from me.
How long will it take to receive our photos?
It will take roughly 6 to 8 weeks to receive your final wedding photos. I put a lot of love and care into perfecting each image, which is why it'll take me a little bit more time to deliver your final images. If you'd like your photos sooner, please ask me about the rush fee.
This is your wedding or family shoot and if you are uncomfortable with your photos being shared on my social media platforms, I will respect that.
What happens if disaster strikes?
What if we have to cancel our move our date?
Life is complicated and the unexpected is to be expected. The deposit is non refundable as this helps to protect my business due to turning away all other booking for your wedding date. I hope you understand that deposit is insurance for my business to stay afloat in the event of a cancellation. I'll do my best to accomodate a new date, however, if the date you choose is unavailable, any payment minus the deposit will be refunded.
- Your big day is here, Yay! You may not know this, but I'm just as pumped about the day as you. My bags are packed and I'm ready to go!
- I'll arrive early and quickly to say hi everyone. I'll get to know more about your families and the dynamics of the others who are a part of your day.
What to expect from me on your Wedding Day!
- During the day I'll be a photo ninja. I'll be here there and everywhere, all over to make sure I capture everything that's happening.
- I'm an expert at catching candid moments when no one is watching. I'll be the sneaky paparazzi that will get the shots you are going to love. I'll also be the one that will stand up and take control of a situation when needed and get everyone in order.
- I promise no cheesy or cringey or forced poses...ewwwww! It will just be about you and your new husband or wife enjoying each other on the best day of your life!
We'll be a good fit if...
You are after a photographer who will be more than just the person who takes photos for the day and you never hear from again. You will be looking for a new friend, one you can have fun with and makes your day even more special!
You love dogs, or animals in general! Bring your fur baby and include them in the photos. They're a special part of the day too.
You are prepared to step out of your comfort zone, let your hair down and go on a adventure with me to get the most epic photos and memories.

Wedding days take a lot of work, but boy are they so worth it. It's a day that you and your husband and your families will take about for the rest of their lives.
So finding the perfect people to be a part of your day is important and especially the one that is going to capture your day in the most perfect way. It's not just the photos that you have to love but the person who has to take the photos themselves. And I can say, that with me by your side we are going to create magic that is Disney level!
Your wedding day will take month, may be even years to plan, maybe even a few tears along the way and so many decisions so why not make the easy one and realise we can make the most perfect team.
If you are not sure on what you are after, that fine! I'm here to help you. I want to give you an album that reflects your personalities and how beautiful it was. I will talk to you, have fun with you, have a dance with you and more importantly maybe even have some cake with you.
So take a moment to look around, check out why I would be the perfect wedding photographer for your day and I cannot wait to meet you and hear your story.
