WEDDINGS
Whats your story?
It’s a perk of my job that I hear so many stories.
I hear the origin stories of your relationship, the adventures you’ve been on together, and the events that made your family strong—and I delight in your wedding party’s devotion to getting grandma onto the dance floor!
Your wedding embodies all the stories you’ve shared so far, and starts the story of your future. Think of me as providing the beautiful, meaningful pictures for this chapter of your story.

MY APPROACH
I work predominantly in a documentary/photojournalism style, yet I also love to get a bit creative with light. Which basically means for most of the day I fade into the background, allowing the glorious, naturally beautiful moments to happen, but I will also guide and direct you where needed during our portrait session to get you those killer shots!
I do not over-process my images. Every image presented to you will be lightly edited and enhanced whilst maintaining its authenticity and timelessness.
To get a feel for my style of photography and post-production, check out my featured wedding blogs above, or other recent work here.
Albums + Prints
I also offer personalised, custom-designed fine art albums + prints that are guaranteed to last your lifetime.
Investment + Booking
Wedding photography packages start at $4,200.
To grab all the details or to book, head on over to the contact page and shoot me a message.
Be sure to include all the required info as this speeds up the process, and from there I will forward you a detailed ‘Wedding Info + Pricing’ pack.
When you’re happy, we arrange contracts, the booking fee is paid and then your date will be secured!
We can also arrange an obligation-free meet-up prior to booking if you would like to see if we are a perfect match.
FAQ
WHERE THE HELL DO I START?!
Planning a wedding can be incredibly overwhelming!
Here’s a handy guide I wrote to getting the best out of your wedding photography.
I also have a list of recommended suppliers who I’ve LOVED working with.
WHEN SHOULD I BOOK?
As soon as you have made a final decision! Dates go very quickly in the warmer months. Dates in 2021 are almost full and 2022 are already being snapped up!
CAN WE MEET YOU IN PERSON?
Absolutely! We are going to be spending your whole wedding day together, so it's important we get to know each other!
If we haven’t met prior to the booking, we will still need to meet to go over all the final details of the day and confirm our timeline. I am happy to come to you or we can arrange a place to meet.
If we are unable to meet due to distance or any other reason, we can always Skype!
DO YOU REQUIRE A BOOKING FEE? IS IT REFUNDABLE?
A $750 non-refundable booking fee via bank transfer + signed online contract is required to secure your date.
WHEN IS THE OUTSTANDING AMOUNT DUE?
The outstanding amount of your package is due a minimum 2 weeks prior to your wedding date. Of course, you are welcome to pay that earlier if you choose.
WE LIKE MORE NATURAL, CANDID PHOTOS RATHER THAN FORCED, POSED PHOTOS . . .
Me too! In fact, the majority of the day, you won’t notice that I’m there at all—I like to stand back and shoot what’s unfolding in front of me.
When it comes to your couple portraits, I will guide you so you feel comfortable and we will have a few laughs and keep it as natural as possible!
WHAT IS THE BEST TIME OF DAY FOR COUPLE PORTRAITS?
The best time for your portrait session is in the late afternoon sun—planning your portrait session to end with the sunset (the ‘Golden Hour’) is something I highly recommend.
HOW QUICKLY WILL I RECEIVE MY IMAGES?
You can expect to receive your online album around 4 weeks after the wedding, then your photo package containing your USB 1 to 2 weeks after that.
If you have ordered an album or prints, it will take up to 3 weeks for printing after you place the order.
DO YOU DO ALBUMS AND PRINTS?
Yes! I offer personalised, custom-designed fine art albums that are guaranteed to last your lifetime so you can share your memories with not only your kids, but their kids too.
After your wedding, your online album link also contains easy steps to order professional quality prints and products directly (and I can help every step of the way if desired).
HOW WILL I RECEIVE MY IMAGES?
You will receive your digital images on both a USB and as a digital gallery. I take around 80–100 images each hour I spend at your wedding.
The photos you receive on your USB will be un-watermarked and high-resolution ready for printing + enlargements. You can print your photos as many times as you like, wherever you like, or you can order prints or an album from our archival-quality pro lab via your online gallery link. This link can be easily shared with family and friends to download and save all your favourite images.
In your gallery, your images will also be resized (to lo-res) in a separate folder optimised for social media and email, so you can share your images online as soon as you receive them.
If you have an album and/or prints included in your package, I will work with you to make sure it is exactly what you want. These will be ready just a few weeks after you receive your images.
WILL WE RECEIVE A MIX OF COLOUR AND BLACK AND WHITE IMAGES?
Yes! You will receive all your images in colour and also a number in black and white where I feel it is complimentary to the individual image.
DO YOU HAVE YOU WORK FEAUTURED ANYWHERE?
I have been lucky enough to have my work featured on the cover and a number of feautues within the Dancing With Her magazine, print features in Mr Theodore Magazine, Modern Wedding Magazine.
Online features include Ivory Tribe, Together Journal, Nouba, Mr Theodore, Junebug Weddings, Polkadot Bride and Boho Weddings. I also feauture on Vouge Ballroom and Vine's of the Yarra Valley list of Melbourne's best wedding photographers.
DO YOU SHOOT WITH A SECOND PHOTOGRAPHER?
I don’t always shoot with a second photographer, but depending on the size and complexity of the day, or if requested, I will. A second shooter is an additional charge and I will advise you if that is necessary. You're more than welcome to add a second shooter to your package, if you like.
Second shooters are great for a second perspective of the day and also great for extra photos of each partner and wedding party prior to the event—for example, I’ll go to one partner’s pre-ceremony, the second shooter will go to the other partner’s, and we meet at the ceremony.
A second shooter is always someone I know well and shoots in a similar style to me, creating a seamless story of your day.
