Photos of how it felt
A great photo brings you back to the moment, and the feeling that came with it. Nose scrunches, belly laughs, hugs from Nanna. Barefoot dancing, inside jokes, quiet hand squeezes. The small moments, the big ones, and everything in between.

Let's talk about your big day
Think we might be a good fit? Let's get to know each other! Let's meet for a coffee (love coffee).
We'll chat through your plans. I'll get to know your story. You'll find out exactly what you need. We'll likely exchange pet photos.
Frequently asked questions
Where are you?
I'm based in Brisbane, Australia, but I love to fly. Tell me what you have planned and I can also chat through destination wedding pricing.
What is it like to work with you?
Working together should feel easy. Couples often tell me the experience felt calm, enjoyable and genuinely meaningful. I keep things simple, there is usually plenty of laughter, and when emotions hit, I make space for that too. If you need guidance, I'll step in with gentle direction.
How much?
Wedding coverage begins at $4,000 for 4 hours, with extra time available. I also offer special pricing for elopements and midweek micro weddings. If you get in touch and share a bit about yourselves and your plans, I can send through the full details and inclusions, or tailor something to fit exactly what you need.
How long do we wait for photos?
You'll receive a private preview gallery of 5-10 images in the week after your wedding, or a larger preview if you're having 10+ hours of coverage. Your full high resolution gallery is typically delivered within 6-8 weeks in a beautiful password-protected online gallery that's easy to download and share with family and friends. Portrait sessions are usually delivered sooner, at around 4 weeks.
Can we meet you?
Absolutely. We can meet for a coffee, a wine, or jump on a video call to chat through everything and get to know each other. I want to hear what matters most to you about your wedding and your photos, and I'm always happy to help with timeline advice, lighting, and location ideas. If you're interstate or overseas, video chat works perfectly.
Do you photograph LGBTQ+ weddings
Absolutely. I warmly support all people and all kinds of love, and I believe everyone deserves the freedom to marry the person they love most.
Do you photograph elopements?
Definitely, I love photographing elopements. They have such a personal, intimate energy, whether you're keeping it private or sharing it with a few close people. Tell me about your plans and where you're heading.
We're nervous about being in front of a camera!
That's completely normal, and you really don't need to worry. For most of the day I'll blend in naturally, more like an extra friend than someone directing every moment. You can stay focused on each other and enjoy the experience. When it's time for portraits, we'll keep it relaxed, fun and full of real feeling while creating something beautiful together.
Do we need a second photographer?
I photograph most weddings solo and I'm very comfortable covering the day that way. If you have 120 guests or more, or if you're getting ready more than 20 minutes apart, a second photographer is usually a good idea. If that's the case, I can organise someone excellent to join us.
Can we have group photos?
Absolutely. Family group photos matter, and they become part of what you'll keep forever. I usually suggest doing them soon after the ceremony, and I ask for a list of names ahead of time so we can keep everything smooth and efficient.
How do you store our photos after our wedding?
Very carefully. As soon as your wedding is photographed, your files are backed up immediately across multiple hard drives and off-site storage. Your finished gallery is then kept online for a further year.
Do you offer albums and prints?
Yes. I offer beautiful fine art albums made to become lasting heirlooms, and I'm happy to share more information if you'd like it. I also offer a selection of fine art prints, because some photographs really deserve to be held in your hands. Get in touch if you'd like the full details.
How do we secure our date?
It's a straightforward process. Once your 50% deposit is made and contract signed, your date is officially secured.
