What's your style?
Blending an artistic approach with meaningful moments has seem my work evolve into it's own niche, a mostly documentary approach capturing real moments & genuine connections with a loose editorial feel, creating truly stunning portraits & details photos throughout the day.
I find & document exactly what makes your day special on a mix of old school film images for pure timeless nostalgia & the latest digital cameras for stunning quality images.
I'm inspired & lead by light, finding the best pocket of light to shoot in to create depth & feeling to my work.
I bring a calm energy to your day & make sure you're both comfortable & enjoying the moment all while documenting thoughtful imagery to give you the best memories from your day.
Where are you based?
I'm based on the Mornington Peninsula, Melbourne & I'm available for weddings & elopements throughout Australia
Do you work with videographers & content creators?
Absolutely, I can recommend some of the best in the industry that I have worked with previously.
I've found you get the best results by having a specialist in each area photography & videography rather than a company that sends out contractors for both.
Do you shoot LGBTQ+ weddings/elopements?
Heck Yes! I'd love to be there to celebrate with you & capture your day. I'm an inclusive wedding vendor & a safe space for your friends & family.
Do you offer albums?
Imagine going to all this effort to get a photographer to capture everything, only for the photographs to end up living on a hard drive as digital dust. I truly believe in printing our memories & the nostalgia that comes with sitting down together & turning the pages of your very own fine art album.
Each album is individually designed & hand made by Australia's finest lab. They are truly stunning!
Do you shoot on digital or film/analog cameras?
Both! My main photography package is captured on modern digital cameras & we can add film photographs captured on old school 35mm & medium format analog cameras dating back to the 1950's for the creative couples that love those classic film photos & the feeling that analog images create. There's something really special about film photography that has a really nostalgic look & feel & it's suited perfectly to capture the timelines nature of a wedding
I also offer a couples sessions documented entirely on film
Do you travel for weddings & elopements?
Yep, I love a good adventure just send through your dates & locations & we can create a quote for you.
