Canberra Wedding Photographer
Timeless wedding photos that drip with personality
Photography by Joshua McTackett
What if you could relax and have fun with your wedding photographer, and you knew your photos would turn out spectacularly too?
That’s who I am and what I do.
I’m Josh: a Canberra and Southern Highlands based wedding photographer with more than 200 weddings behind me.
You might feel nervous. That’s normal.
-
You might feel like you’re not photogenic. That’s normal.
-
You might feel confident, but not know what to do with your hands in photos.
Yeah - That’s normal. I’ve got you. Don’t even stress.
That’s me before I shaved my head and went all aerodynamic!
From the moment you open your gallery, to years later when you walk past a framed print in your home, or catch a glimpse of your lock screen without even knowing exactly why you’re suddenly smiling.
Your wedding photos should hit the emotions and tell your story the first time, and every time after that, no matter where you see them.
I believe your wedding photography should be true to the day you lived and who you are.
I create images full of energy and life that embrace the contrast of light and shadow
An unforgettable experience, that fits with you and your day
Choosing your wedding photographer isn’t just about the photos.
See the results here of it all being relaxed, fun and easy!

"Was our wedding over 6 months ago? Yes. Have I thought about leaving a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review at least once a week since we got married? Also yes. I can’t believe I’ve not gotten around to finishing it in my notes app yet because when I think of our day, Josh was by far the biggest asset to our team. Looking back at our photos i genuinely get confused thinking about how many great ones we got given, yet from the minute we entered the ceremony I feel like we barely saw him! Exactly what we wanted. Beautiful, candid photos, the professionalism of blending in seamlessly and the added bonus of stepping in at every single point throughout the day that we needed. He was helping with our dresses, pinning boutonnières, helping to tie ties and fix earrings, ensuring our very very sick baby was doing okay; when I say ‘thank god for Josh’, i genuinely could not mean it more. What’s crazy to me is that he wasn’t actually our first choice of photographers, yet someone out there knew we needed him on our day and the stars happened to align. I’m so unbelievably honoured and incredibly thankful that we had him in our team to help plan our timeline around my dream of nice sunset photos and ensuring everything was as smooth and comfortable as possible. I can’t wait to start at these photos for the rest of our lives. Grateful is an understatement.
Ps. Do the engagement shoot! Your wedding photos will thank you 🙏🏽"

"Hiring Josh was like buying a best friend for the day, one who just happens to also take extraordinary photos. He is so fun, warm and easy to be around you can totally relax and enjoy your day. Josh really became a part of our day, rather than feeling like an add on or task. Everyone commented on how fun he was and what good energy he radiates. He was working under tough conditions on our day, jumping through literal hedges to get the best shots of our ceremony. He took really difficult lighting conditions, relatives, schedule changes and more in his stride and produced the most beautiful pictures despite it all. He really has an eye for moments and a creative flair that will make you go “wow that’s a really cool photo- but wait it’s of us?!”.
He also does highlight photos, which you get the night of the wedding and were a huge hit with everyone crowding around to look at the iPad. I looked at those photos every single day for the next month waiting for all the rest to come back.
Out of all the decisions we made for our wedding hiring Josh is the one I can confidently say we had zero regrets on. "
Sarah and Josh said:
Josh made us feel so comfortable, he helped us with poses and looking natural. We have never been in front of the camera so his complementary engagement session made us feel even better!
When we got the photos they were everything we dreamed. Josh will get sand in his shoes and commit to an early start without a second thought!
We love the work he does as he is such a kind and genuine guy <3

"Joshua is a fantastic photographer. The photos are everything we wanted and everything I envisioned. He went above and beyond on the day and was so easy to work with making us feel so comfortable. He is truly talented at what he does and you can understand why he does what he does when you work with him and see the results. If you’re thinking about hiring him for your day, this is your sign to go ahead and do it! You will not be disappointed! Thanks Josh and we will be recommending you to everyone we know who are in line to be wedded and probably those who aren’t ! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts ! - The Murphy’s”
